House training Spitfire has been an adventure to say the least. She has, as previously mentioned messed in my bed, on the bathroom rugs, and Pink Princess's swing. To add to that wonderful total, she has also decided Pink Princess's car seat is a wonderful place to do her business, the folded sheets, my great grandma's rug work wonderfully too! Needless to say, this cat has caused me to do mountains more laundry and carpet cleaning. Since there are a few things I am OCD about, and cleaning up after animals is one thing, I have been scrubbing carpets like crazy.
Spitfire has a vendetta against Pink Princess's toys. She'll kinda play with Rynie's toys, but she really assaults Pink Princess's toys. The little lamb that Pink Princess got for Easter has a hole in it's back and Spitfire was de-stuffing the lamb. It's hiding on the mantle so it doesn't get completely de-stuffed and I can sew it back together again.
Then we get to Pink Princess. For some reason she has started wetting on my bathroom rug. Sounds like I let her run around without a diaper right? Not so. I get her tubby water for baths and then get her ready. In the time it takes me to re-check the tub water, she's wet on my rug. Then, yesterday I got her out of the bath, started to drain the water, and got her ready for the day. When I went back to shower, I found a 'surprise' she'd left hidden under the bubbles in the tub! Eww! We'd just cleaned the bathtub yesterday morning too! Pink Princess is also contributing to the mountain of laundry. I guess she can't be outdone by Spitfire!
Now hold on to your socks! Hubby and I went on an actual date without the kidlets! Honey and Bumpa Shyra watched the kids. We went and played mini golf and went to dinner. On the 12th or so hole, I walked under a tree and a bird pooped all over me! All over my face and shirt! I got my face cleaned up in the car when we were done, and Hubby sprung for getting me a new shirt so I didn't have to eat dinner covered in bird poop. I now have a dark olive green 3/4 sleeve t-shirt. The date was really nice. I honestly can't remember the last time we did a 'date' since we do a lot of stuff together, but it's usually working outside or we take the kids since we like to do stuff as a little group. We have been laughing since Tuesday about how I
just have that kind of luck. Most people read about crazy stuff like getting splatted by a bird,
I'm usually the one who that kind of stuff happens to.
Rynie has been quite the helper guy as he would say. He has been helping with dishes, laundry, and watching Pink Princess. It usually involves trying to help her walk,then they both splat down and start laughing. I think I'm going to be in trouble when he finally gets her to walk. They will be off and running. We have been going for walks lately and Rynie has been walking the entire way. Most of the time, it's just a mile or so, but on Wednesday, we walked about two miles and he did the entire circut! Rynie tells me it makes his legs grow big so he'll be a big boy like Uncle Jakie.
Today is going to be a good day if for no other reason than Hubby has the day off from work. We are making pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast and Jake is coming to partake. Then Hubby is going to watch the kids and give me a few hours of good sewing time. If I don't get my sewing time in, I'm not going to have all the stuff I'm wanting to take to London with me in September. I have 4 of the eyelets done on my short stays and I'm hoping to finish them and get started on my Regency dresses soon.
Filling up the swimming pool. You have to be a "Big Boy" to fill up the pool!
Every pool guy needs a pool girl to be a part of the fun. She just isn't sure she wants to yet.....
Hey! It's a big tubby!!!! I think I like this!
Utter and pure bliss! I get control of the hose, to play in the water, and make big splashes!!!!
Water, water, and more water! The sun is shining, and Rynie doesn't know what to do with himself!!!
Spraying himself in the face! Every boy has to do that at least once!
Pink Princess gets to join in on the fun! She loves splashing!
Thunder BOOM! This is jumping and splatting!!!
We got the float tube for Pink Princess since it was a little deeper than she liked. Well, she walks in the pool since she has the floater! I don't think she realizes it. She'll also jump up and splash down in the tube!
Chasing balls around! Two kids, two balls, what fun!
