short, quick day

ok, i HAVE to write this quick because it's a gem. seriously.

let me clue you in.....rae is NOT allowed to have anything bratz related. can't stand'em.

so, out of the blue (seriously, no christmas or bratz commercials or anything in sight) she says, "when we go see santa in st cloud, i'm going to ask him for bratz. so YOU don't know."

if she only knew!!!

and while i'm typing, might as well write about our day. the kids slept in thankfully. rae had 2 bowls or cereal. beast had 4 waffles (and asked for more but i said no!). i did lots of cleaning in case someone wants to see my house now that it's listed. have i mentioned it's listed?! because it is!!!

i needed to get the kids out of the house for a couple hours because i think copper might have fleas & i wanted to set off bombs. they went out to the car, i got copper safely set up, & i set off the bombs.

we headed for some lunch at their favorite place---mcdonald's of course! they think it's a real treat to eat inside, so we did. it took almost an hour because they were too busy playing & waving at people going through the drive-thru.

then we headed back up to play at the elementary school playground. we'd never played there before & it was super fun. (i have a couple pics on my phone but don't have them on the computer yet). they had a BLAST....except for those rude ass kids on the big slides who wouldn't move. (and their dad was asleep in their van. classy.) i tried to get a little sun by laying on a bench. i can be just as classy as these real milacans you know!!

after we were all sufficiently tired, we came home. i made them stay outside while i cleaned up inside a bit. then they both got in trouble & were banished to their rooms. and wouldn't you know, little beast fell asleep. shit. it was just 5!!! he woke up, crabby as hell.

they've had dinner & snacks, so we're off to the tub! seriously hoping they're so zonked from the sun & the playing that they crash out early. 445 will come early tomorrow. blah.

(i promise, i'll get these boring posts out of my system soon. after the zoo post is up & the kids are gone. which, i've been tearing up about again. so then you'll hear about that. deal.)
