Life with Kelly's Monsters: Crazy Happy Life

For those of you that have been on me about updating my blog, I'm going to work on it while Andy is in Hong Kong/China this week. Having the 4th little monsters has really taken any 'personal' time I had, and threw it out the window. It really takes all I have to maintain this house, these little bodies, and keep up the social calendar for a family of 6. Here is quick preview of the craziness I call, 'Life'...
Trust me I wouldn't trade a single smile, giggle or tear for a moment of peace and quiet.

We try to spend as much time on the weekends as we can with Daddy, and he is always a good time!

We have found that bowling is a great sport/activity that the whole family can play and cheer for each other, especially on days when the weather is not on our side. One day Aby actually beat William & Claira!

Speaking of AbyKate, she is a big consumer of Mommy's time. Basicly, if you don't know where she is you'd better find her!

"I look Cute?"

and when she is not into make-up, then its the toilet paper or the fish tanks, or climbing the pantry. Today in fact I found her climbing the drawers in the kitchen like they were a ladder to get to her stamps...yes I have to keep ALL art supplies so high in the kitchen cabinets that even I need to get on the counters to reach them. You think that's a little extreme? I too one day LONG ago would have thought it a bit extreme but not now...not after I got out of the shower one morning only to find AbyKate naked and covered in stickers and stamps (including her ____!). She has learned not to color on walls, not to color on the table, and most recently the couch. She has cut off her bangs and learned the lesson that your not supposed to cut your own hair, and she got in big trouble by her sister when she learned that you don't color Barbies face and you defiantly don't cut off My Little Pony's tail.

Turns out AbyKate is a hands on kid who insists on learning things the hard way. Luckly she is happy so you can't stay angry at her for long.

She'll say in the sweetest voice, "I sowy Mommy"

Since, she figured out how to climb out of her crib she has been moved to the floor. The problem with this is, she is ALWAYS bugging poor Claira who is so sweet and just wants to do what is right and expected of her. Claira is always happy to follow the rules and do as she is asked. Aby is bound and determined to get Claira to party with her at night, many nights we'll go in to find Aby playing with sleeping Claira.

One night we came in to tell AbyKate to sing a bit quieter and found her doing, "This little Piggy" on Sleeping Claira's feet :) Usually she won't even stay in their room, she'll cover herself up with her blanket. Sneak down the hall only to hide so well that if you ignore her long enough she will fall asleep.

Now Emilia is not as time consuming as you might think a little baby would be, and compared to Aby she is easy! An angel in-fact. But she too keeps me on my toes...she loves to put everything in her mouth; dirt, wood chips and leaves are her favorite.
