Those barbaric turtles!?! We had 2 turtles, Fabio and Six, which was plenty, and my dear husband decided we needed more, so now we have 9! Scabby, Blah Blah, Crush, Squirt, and their friends...we haven't quite gotten to naming all of them! They all look exactly alike, except Scabby! haha We also had 2 shrimp, now we have 0. We had 5 other random fish, now we have 0. We also had 2 sucker fish, no we, ok we still have 2 sucker fish...for the time being! I've chosen not to name any other water creatures in our home for fear of getting too attached and them becoming turtle treat! These turtles are eating us out of house and home... er fish!

Today I realized why I lose things so much, its so I can ask Winni where those things are, like my keys, wallet, shoes, anything, and she comes up with either the right answer, or something a little more fun and creative. Today, our routine went something like this:

"Winni, where is Trae's binky?"

"I frowed it in the street!"

"Winni, where are Trae's shoes?"

"I frowed them in the street!"

"Winni, where are mommy's keys?"

"I frowed them in the street! See?"

I'm not sure who has lost their mind more, me for asking her or her for "frowing" everything in the street!!?

Walter left again today....house is clean! I miss him!!

I knew this day would come. I warned Winni that this day was coming! And tonight it was obvious...Trae has had enough of this being pushed around crap! I told Winni that one day Trae would be bigger than her, well, he is almost bigger than her, and he would pay her back for past damages, i.e. pushing, squishing, smothering, all of the above. At the dinner table Winni was getting in the way of my feeding Trae, so he just reached out and grabbed on to as much hair as possible, and he pulled!!! She didn't get the picture so he did it again, and again!! I did make him let go each time, but I think she got the point!

Tonight as I bathed my children, Winni portrayed her bossy side! She wanted the toy Trae had, which was a cup, so she told him, "no, no Trae, that's dangerous!" I wonder where she learned that tactic!

Tonight I had a Modbe party. Its a swimsuit/clothing party where they bring the stuff to your house for everyone to try on, kind of like and avon or mary kay party, but much more fun! We had fun. They had this really cute swimsuit cover-up skirt that Winni just loved playing with. She put it on, sorta, and went around telling everyone there was a baby in her belly! I guess she wanted to be like the 2 pregnant ladies who were there!

Today, on our way to my friend Brooke's to get my face waxed, Winni surprised me with her memory! My friend has a little girl named Preslee. As we got to the light before their house, Winni recognized where we were. She said, "Let's go to Preslee's house! Get my hair done!" hahahaha We have never had her hair cut! She remembers the one time we went there and I let her sit in "the hair chair" and pretended to play with her hair. She is such a smart little bucket! I love her!

My best friend is getting married on saturday! I'm so excited for her. Tonight she went through the temple for the first time and I was able to be there with her. Walter stayed home with the kids because Trae isn't feeling too good. I'm not writing to complain that when I got home at 10:00 BOTH kids were still awake..no no no, the reason for my blog today is because I've now got my own little spy in the house. Not only did she let me know her daddy got paint on the toilet seat (btw, she told him that I got that paint spot on the toilet seat the other day) as we were getting ready for bed she let me know that tonight daddy farted and he was stinky!! hahaha He cant get away with anything!! :)
