Excuse me Bad-Make-Up McGee... You're FIRED!

Why do kids have to grow up so fast!?!?!?   Braham is a little boy now... my how time flies....

 And the twins had their first birthday too....  I'm holding Cordelia ... we usually call her Delia ... she's very shy, snuggley and withdrawn ... but she loves her sister, and her other siblings...

 And here is Contessa ... aka Tessa... she is definitely more outgoing and she helps bring Delia out of her shell

 I was reading the paper one day ... and there was a report in there about how Kay Pebbles had been charged with bullying.  She had been babysitting for the Tanners and ... wouldn't you know, she was mocking their son who has a weight problem and their daughter because she wears glasses!!  I told Austin that if the agency ever sent her again, I was going to have it out with her.  Let's hope they fired her because I really don't like confrontation...

 The girls are so lovely, the play by themselves in their room so I can get some work done, they come crawling in my room too ... just to be near me.  I am thinking about putting some toys in my room to entertain them while I'm working on books.

 I worked hard on, and finished Kissing a Leprechaun and it didn't seem to take as long as the last book, but with the twins here, time seems to fly by....

 If you are wondering about Ayslyn she is doing wonderful!   She's loving the whole bake sale thing she's got going on.  It allows her to meet new people, neighbors and people around town who stop by!

 We spent my royalties and remolded a little.  We got the twins some new girly cribs (we kept the old ones too) .... got them some new decorations for the wall.... some other stuff too...

 We got an adorable baby sign for the wall....  figuring ... the twins probably won't be our last!  There is Tessa working on the peg box...

 Delia playing with the blocks... 

 One afternoon, after work and school, Braham asked his Dad to play catch and Austin was really excited about it...

 What guy doesn't enjoy playing catch with his sons!!

Then one evening after the girls woke up from their naps....

 Austin and I went in to tend to them, and decided to ...

 sit down and work to teach them to talk....   Austin sat down and told Tessa to say "I will change my own diaper someday" and I said to Delia "Daddy likes to make people turn around and put their hands behind their backs and arrest them!  Say pink fuzzy handcuffs... oh wait, those are the ones he uses on me..."  Austin cracked up laughing on that one!!

 Then we taught them to say computer ...  and told them that they could only be on the computer when Mommy or Daddy was near-by ....

 We taught them to say "Garbage is STINKY"

 And we taught them "Ohana ....Family and  LOVE!" ... after all, we have to learn something from Disney!

 Then we worked on teaching them to walk .... through several days....  I took on Tessa...

 And Daddy taught Delia

 We were so excited when they were all done!!

 YAY!!  And we each took one for potty training, seemed only fair...

 Tessa was turning out to be a little bit of a cuddle bug herself...

 And Delia finally started to come out of her shell

 They LOVE to eat ... and eat and eat...

 One day when Austin was getting the girls out of their highchairs when they were done eating, he noticed that ... one of our dining room chairs was missing!!  SOMEONE STOLE A CHAIR!!!

 We also realized, next big chunk of money was getting spent on a bathroom...  this one, it's getting to crowded at times.... 

 The girls were sleeping soundly one night...

 So I went to work on my new book....  Kissing a Pigmy

 Ayslyn was making a few last minute sales

 Before she went up to check out her new remodeled room.   She got a new bookcase and dresser, and she bought the Frenchy Tower and Baby Doll with her own money she got from selling her baked goods...

 We went ahead and got Cordelia and Contessa their big girl beds.  As much as we'd like to keep them little forever, they are going to grow up soon.   We got them night stands, lights, and desks too. 

 Braham was fast asleep...

 Ayslyn went fast to sleep...

 and so Austin and I decided we better too.... 

 But we were woken up by the babies chattering in the middle of the night and we just laid there listening to them for awhile.  I had gone to sleep before Austin and he had called the Agency for a babysitter and then come to bed...

 The girls were just happily chatting away and so Austin and I took advantage... 

 But eventually they started to cry ....  and we went in there ... and started to tend to them, and wouldn't you know, guess who walks in!!

 Austin and I finished taking care of the girls....

 but when we put them down with their bottles I turned around and started in on her.  "Excuse me, but you were suppose to be in here tending to them, that's why we PAY you!"

 "And another thing!  You were harassing my daughter!!  Why in the world would you make fun of a little girl!?!?!?"

 "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN I POINT AT YOU!?!?!  Bet you don't like it to much!  And I understand this is a habitual thing! You did it to the Tanner kids too!?!?"

 Kay lifted her hand as if she were going to hit me.  "COME ON BAD-MAKE-UP McGEE!  Go ahead and HIT me!  I DARE YA!!"

 She screamed at me instead and I started laughing at her.

"Your are not GOOD enough to take care of my kids!!  You are not good enough to take care of anyone's kids.  I don't care if you are just a teenager or not!  AND YOU WEAR TO MUCH MAKE-UP!  YOU ARE FIRED!!!"

 She stormed out of the room and I was pissed off still.   You don't mess with my kids or you endure the wrath of the Momma....  stupid girl...

 Then I went back, and worked on my book... cuz I was to worked up to go back to sleep....
