So I (Alicia) have been thinking for a while that I need to be better about documenting our happenings, cute little things the kids say, etc. I've tried journal writing and I know I'm terrible at that, so I'll try including some memories on this blog until Julian (the blog creator) tells me this is not a journal blog, it is a picture blog.
So today was a beautiful, warm, somewhat overcast day, perfect for a little jog. I have not been out of the house by myself for 3 days, so I am looking forward to a run. Julian gets home at a decent time, I finish making dinner, dish up the plates, and set them on the stairs so the family can eat outside and play w/ friends while I go for my little run. When I leave, the kids are riding bikes with the neighbors, Julian is eating, and Paige is down for a nap. Perfect! I was gone for 32 minutes. I walked up the stairs and was amazed at what could happen in such a little amount of time. Kaelyn had fallen off her bike, flat on her face, and was now in the bathtub washing rocks out of her mouth. Paige was laying on the floor outside of the bathroom and Ogden was kneeling next to her on pacifier duty. Paige had pooped her diaper, was ready to eat, and was screaming and Ogden was quietly upset because he had gotten in trouble for not listening when it was time to come inside. 32 minutes! 32 minutes in 3 days! When I left, everybody was happy. And when I returned nobody was.
Well, now everyone except me and the stupid escaping hamster are asleep. Kaelyn is fine, although she has a good goose egg on her forehead and some scratches that will hopefully be gone in time for our trip to Texas. I really should be in bed too. I AM tired. But I am enjoying the quiet and the fact that nobody needs anything right now.

LOL! I totally understand. It's part of the reason that I've become such a night owl. I just love all that uninterrupted time . . . even if I'm doing nothing more productive than watch "Shark Week". :) It's amazing what 32 minutes can bring! :)
I think I'm going to like the journal blogging. We mom's need to get out by ourselves more, but it always has it's risks; I am always a little anxious wondering what I'll find when I get home. I hope you are adjusting okay to three. I wish we could run together again.
Tell Julian that he needs to share the lime light. I was laughing so hard cause I could actually picture the events taking place. Tell me Julian didn't give you the "where have you been" look. Hehehe. Also I had a hamster when I was a kid and we named him Houdini, cause he could escape from anything. They are crazy. He eventually got sent to live somewhere else and made his fateful escape right into the jaws of their cat.:(
This happens too at my house--except my kids don't usually go out without me (you know NYC and all), but the house looks like it has been through a tornado.
