I don't recognize this sound?

What is this foreign noise I hear?
It is familiar, reminds me of my younger days.
Ahhh.........it is calmness, and stillness mixed with a little silence. It's nice, I like it, they should make a c.d. of this and sell it.
It is not even 8:30 and all are in bed. I did it all by myself, made delicious dinner, cleaned kitchen and they are all in bed almost asleep.
I don't know how single mothers do it. Bobby has abandoned me lately to work on the "new house" the bathroom tile is taking him literally forever. He basically works until he can work no more.
So, What am I to do? This peace fullness almost makes me wish I had a nice bottle of red wine to sit outside on the cool but comfortable night and relax. But I haven't folded laundry in a week and Bobby has run out of underwear. I was informed this morning, good thing it wasn't a work day, and unlike us lucky girls he can't wear his bathing suit bottoms to work when he runs out of underwear. So off I go to wash and fold. Good night.

Pictures

Isabella waiting for Lucia to get off the phone.

Waiting patiently

Finally she put down the phone to let me take her picture.

We went to fairy festival. The girls loved it! It was a little girls dream come true.

An outing. We went to Starbucks and painted some pottery. Isabella and Parker loved it.

Erin made the skirt I made the head wreath (it's so big!).

The "New House" as it's called around here. Here's is the girls room.

Our grass. My mom mowed it for us. I would have but I'm scared of gas operated things, except for cars (kinda).

I am procrastinating. I have design work to do, but I don't want to do it. Nope, just don't want to do it. But I will. I don't really like the Dr. Phil show, but sometimes I catch him on TV if the kidos are sleeping. He has this saying that I repeat to myself, "You have to do what you don't want to do to get what you want." If you like me you might have to think about that for a sec.
I want some extra money so I have to do it. Then I'm gonna quit for real!
Isabella is the last one up. I can't wait to have the house done and they maybe we can have real routine! Right now it seems like every night were winging it. Okay must go work.

Craftiness

They have these little figurines at Walmart for 62 cents. Isabella loved painting this little lady bug, it was pretty cute, she was really into it.

A Ukrainian head dress made out of pipe cleaners.
