see what happens when I finally sleep in??!!!

A picture IS worth a thousand words, but I do not have one of this morning...but then, how can a photo capture the craziness of this?: I slept in. I woke up, heard no noise, no pitter patters, no door slamming...so. I read my book for a while, got up and got dressed, then greeted the three youngest who were being so nice and playing with their dolls and trucks...so, I headed out for a pleasant walk with Rosie. Back in the door...and: Gramma is on her way over!! Now, I am not gonna lie. I looked at the counters, the table, the floors, and WAH!! No fair! Why can't she come over when it is at least half way decent?! Margaret helped me clean up, but she doesn't know how to panic-clean. She was sorting through papers. Anyway, I hadn't had breakfast yet, even coffee, and I had to scramble around here and make it look normal. The little girls decided it would be a good time to get into their closet and jump around, dumping things out into their room. I decided to run in and brush my teeth and wash my face quick before she got here, and then Rosie started barking...she was here...

Now, to some of you this might sound a little over-dramatized, and perhaps it is. I mean, worse case scenario, she gets to see our house a it's worst. Not the end of the world. But. It is usually not as bad as it was this morning! She always seems to call when it is like that!

She made me the most beautiful cross stitch, I will take a picture of it later...

Margaret is having a fairy party for the princesses, their cousin Danielle is coming over to join in.

I need to get moving, my day is slipping by, sleeping in is not all it's cracked up to be....
