The daily happenings in the life of The Connells!

Friday we played with Sarah Katherine at Pump It Up. The girls (and their Moms) had a great time! This was SK's first time and she did really well. She did get stuck in one (you can see Daniley on the top and no SK in sight) so I had to do a rescue mission. I'm too big to do rescue missions. I had to jump between some tight spaces...I said "Erin I'll jump in, you make sure I don't hit the floor." Hahahaha. We were successful! :-) Then we had lunch at Pizza Hut which was super delicious. What a fun day with great friends! :-)



We had our first visit HERE:
We have an "Olivia" book where Olivia paints on the wall and goes to Time Out! Daniley is mesmerized by it. She always gets the book out, finds that page, and says "Olivia in Time Out! Her painted on the wall!!!" So I thought, since she seemed to get it, that this might be an effective punishment for low profile crimes. I decorated the dining room wall (because it's boring in there) and we've had this chair in this location for many weeks. Frequently she would ask if she could go to Time Out but we always said no.
Then yesterday she decided it would be a good idea to stick her hands down in her glass of milk and spread it over the table like Pledge when Mom and Dad were still in the kitchen. (Yes, she drinks out of regular glasses, not sippy cups generally.) So I said, "OK, you're off to Time Out." You would have thought I had killed her. She boo-hoo-ed, tears and all, while Dad and I sat at the table and........silently giggled. Hahahahaha. We'll see if she plays in her milk again. :-)

Daniley is Curva-a-licious!!!!!!!!!!
Family, please limit the amount of candy and junk food you give her for Easter! Instead she needs a new piggy bank since her glass one has a crack in it. She's been earning some coins for helping with chores. I love how a nickel is bigger than a dime. I'm saving TONS of money on my hired help. Getting it for half price, in fact! :-)

Went to yard sales Saturday morning...Daniley found herself a new shovel. She has found true love now! All we have talked about since is how she wants to go outside and dig with her purple shovel!


Then we went to Eli's birthday party where I was so dadgum lazy I didn't even get my camera out. The kids had a really fun time. Happy First Birthday to little baby Eli! He's such a cutie, just like his big brother! :-)

Today was the funnest birthday party EVER. John Thomas celebrated his birthday on Rickwood Field, and invited all his friends to be part of the big game. When we walked in, Daniley said, "The game is starting!! I better go find my team!!" We hadn't even talked about a team...I didn't even know she really knew what that was. All day, before the party, she kept saying, "I'm SO excited about playing baseball." She did very well. She practiced with the plastic equipment then progressed to a real game where she hit, ran, and scored. All the kids were just precious. This was the best baseball team ever. Forget the White Sox or Yankees, a team of your friends can't be beat!

Can I just take a moment to complain?
UUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Last night I got up 4 times to pee, 3 times to eat (two of those my stomach was GROWLING), laid awake in bed for 2.5 hours, and woke up with stomach growling AGAIN. What am I supposed to do, make meatloaf and casseroles at 3am? One time during the 2.5 hours I did get almost to sleep, then Miss Danslen decided she would KICK ME real hard. Woke me right back up. This is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!! April 21, PLEASE HURRY!!!!
