Day 4: The Kids

So, I've had a cold for a week now. It's that cold that, when it gets bad, you can't sleep because you can't breathe, but when you take the OTC med, you're so stoned you're worthless. This cold sucks when you're home with your three, funny, energetic kids the whole time you have it. Since today was a bad cold day, I did not venture out. Instead, I took pictures of our Friday Night Fun.

On Fridays, Dude works late. Since I am overlimit on my patience reserve by that evening, we have our "Big Twins*"(we'll call them Melody and Harmony) come over to play with the kids and get them in bed . Tonight, only one Big Twin, Harmony, came over.





Here are pics of each kid taken at the dinner/Chutes and Ladders mania.

Princess, the personification of Beauty and Faith
















Monkey Boy, Love and Order made flesh











Ladybug, this family's embodiment of Joy and Abandon












*Note: I have many children. We have these three, plus the Big Twins, plus a wonderful assortment of godchildren-types and my students/former students. Usually, when I say "my kids" I mean my actual offspring, but there are days it's hard to tell for sure.
