Lots of people know I would love to have hired help with the cleaning around here... but the thought of paying someone when I'm a stay-at-home mom doesn't appeal to David so much. I on the other hand just can't keep up, even on good days... I just dedicate so much of the day to the kids. And who am I kidding? I don't like cleaning all the time, it never ends! So I asked David if I get the house pretty clean, would he agree to maybe twice a year having someone come in and deep cleaning the place. He agreed. Success. Maybe he'll like it so much he'll agree to once a month, hehehe. Of course the question now is, when will I have the house clean enough for this to happen? I couldn't even get it clean when David was home on his vacation! Oh well, one step at a time.
Coming soon, Adventures at the Rodeo...with mainly, if not only, pictures!

The Peacemaker.
David and I rarely have heated arguments. The last time we had a heated argument was March 21st 2008, I remember because I was eight months pregnant with Violet and it was David's birthday... well, that was the last time until yesterday, that is. And it's not because I'm so peaceful and laid back. It's because David is. Except, when he gets mad it scares me, because he never gets mad...I'm not used to feeling that angry spirit from him or hearing his loud voice.
Yesterday wasn't really an argument either come to think of it. I was irritated at something David did. He got mad that I got irritated...guess I had been doing that a lot lately and he had enough. I got nervous because he was so angry. I apologized, I didn't yell back. He kept yelling. What calmed him down is Liam.
Suddenly Liam says "hey hey hey guys" while holding his arms out between us as if to stop a fist fight. Then he adds "Daddy stop yelling at mommy, that's not nice" and then "and mommy be nice to daddy, you love each other, we are a family".
Only three years old. Although Liam has probably never seen us argue like that (well not that he can remember anyway) he knew exactly what to say to calm his daddy down.

Violet's Favorite word
Violet's favorite word is liam. She repeats it over and over and over. Saying, liam liam liam liam liam. Except she says it so fast it sounds like: miam miam miam... sometimes liam gets annoyed... payback for all the 'mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy' I used to hear. Just kidding. She just loves her big brother so much.
