This is my birthday weekend and so I’m taking the easy way out of blogging today by just posting funny pictures of my kids. It’s not interesting, but I don’t care. It’s MY blog and if you don’t think my kids are precious, adorable and the most amazing people in the world than bugger off. (I’m really joking, it’s just that there is only one time during the year that you can truly be self-righteous and nobody will correct you and that is your birthday – so there it is.)

Lucy does NOT like to have her hair in pony tails. Period. As evidence I present this picture

As nap time gets closer Max gets even more rebellious and adamant that he is NOT taking a nap. Sometimes these escalate into huge power struggles and when it gets bad he pleads for food. I, on the other hand having a black-belt in parenting have learned to be immune to his manipulative pleas for food and drink as a stall tactic. Here you can see who won today’s battle.

That’s it for this week. I’ll be posting a special birthday article on Sunday and back to my usual shenanigans on Monday. In the meantime I’m headed to East Texas where my mother-in-law will wake up with my kids, let me sleep in, feed them cinnamon rolls, cook dinner for me and let me read her multitude of magazines and catalogs. God Bless that woman!!
