thanks for the heads up on the food. I am pretty sure we don't have any of those, but I'll double check.

No problem! I almost didn't mention it, but I figured it would be my luck that you'd missed it and ate the stuff and got really sick.

^-^ And congratulations on your new leezard. Keep it safe from the other children until they learn to play nice! Hahaha...

We made it home safe and sound to find out that Laynna decided to come in after all. She arrived on Saturday evening, and we spent all today in her company. Tomorrow she and I are taking the four little ones to Six Flags. The I might finally get Tuesday to put my house to rights for my birthday party on Friday.. I know that is a little early.. but.. everyone that I talked to with one exception could make it.... And that exception is in Wisconsin for the week. ^-^

Good heavens! *hug* I hope you get to take a break soon. She's probably left already, but tell Laynna 'Hi' for me. ^-^

How was Six Flags? Is Phooka's camera still working?

Camera works.. and the little ones are now addicted to coasters and rides. I had to console myself with the knowledge that it cost less than taking them to the street fair and having them ride rides, at least the number of rides that they rode.

Wow sounds like you guys had a good time. I had wondered what happened to you. It sounds fun, almost kinda cozy in a way. That or I simply no longer have a concept of real family values and such...

God four and half....I could never be a parent. It takes a real special person to handle kids. That hour of trying to make the kid eat lunch...I just kept thinking (it's taking an hour? Let the kid go hungry and when he wants to eat tell him he cant because he refused his food earlier, and that next time he should remember that other kids are as hungry as him, but they don't get meals to begin with).

LOL and you watched Wedding Peach. *laughs*

Anyways again, its good to hear you're doing well. ^_^

We had a blast! And I'm still recovering, hahaha. *smile* We moved around a lot growing up, so we siblings are all best friends. We've grown apart a bit after moving out on our own and having different life experiences, but not far enough apart that we don't enjoy being together every moment that we can. We're pretty lucky that way, I hear.

Uma-kun comes by his stubbornness quite honestly from both sides of the family. And he only had two chips left on Aunt Raya's plate before he would have lost not only his lunch but his trip to Niagara Falls. My brother-in-law, flyboytay was not going to have a hungry child spoiling the trip for his mother, sister, and aunt ( ... )

You will here everyone talk about the terrible twos... what they forget to mention is the troublesome threes, and the fearful fours, and the fabulous fives... I'm waiting on five... but then comes the six.. and that is linked to whining and clinging all over again. Don't let anyone tell you that kids don't go through stages...I've seen too many of them do it.

And as to my lovable D.. he was being his usual self, didn't get exactly what he wanted for lunch, Mom refused to change it, so he is not going to eat it. After realizing that Mom nor Dad are going to give in. trying to find an out. "I want Mom to sit next to me, I want this.. I want that.. and then I'll eat". After he realized that it wasn't working, he gave in an ate.

And Yep the trip was a lot of fun. ^-^
