Mom's birthday

We celebrated Mom's b-day at our house on Tuesday with a homemade White Chocolate Cheesecake (thanks Dee) and lots of laughs and noisy kiddos. There was even some quality time spent with the guineas. Don't tell A#2 I told you this but hers peed ALL OVER her. I had no clue they could make a puddle that big. We were all in shock at the size of the puddle it left in her lap.

Nena was getting a little assistance with her gifts. When there are two 4 year olds around you can guess there will be a disagreement on who is gonna help.

And then there's the candles. Which one is gonna help her with her candles. We were kind to her and only put a few on the cake this year (you can see the small fire in front of me). Next year will be a whole other story. She's gonna get it good next year. Only because she gives it right back to us, right Mom?!

Meet A#4 and A#5

Don't ask me where the idea came from but we have 2 new members to our family. A#2 and A#3 took their Christmas money and went shopping with their Daddy. It was discussed before they went out that A#2 wanted a guinea pig. After doing a little research they decided it was better to have 2 together so guess who else got one? Yep, A#3. Oh dear me!! I am not sure why but for some reason I was not allowed any say so in this matter. Me, the Mom, the housekeeper, the one that vacuums EVERY DAY already, the one that keeps every one's rooms clean (or at least the one that demands that their rooms stay clean), the one that feeds the fish, feeds the children, cleans the toilets, mows the grass etc. etc etc. ME! I was told I had no say so. Kinda like the friends coming in the pool, right Lisa!

So here they are bringing the little rats, ahem, I mean cutie pies, home with them.

They are living in A#2's room. Great! The messiest child in the house has animals living with her now!

This is Apricot aka A#5. She belongs to A#3.

And this is Ariel aka A#4. She belongs to A#2. She is a nibbler. Every time you put something in front of her mouth she wants to take a taste. Lord help us if she gets out in A#2's room. She could live for months in there.

Other than the mess they have not been that bad to deal with. Bad thing is they are only 3 months old and have a lot of growing to do. As they grow so does their mess. Lord, keep one hand on my shoulder and the other hand over my mouth.

P.S.

I'm not all that mean, how could you be when you look at that smile! She loves them!!!!
