Emily's update on the family

Friday morning my mom pulled out one of my canine teeth. And I didn't even flinch. And after school we went to the store to get a fish. It was a beta fish (how do these things reproduce). Any suggestions for a name? I want to name it Kilo but dad says it is a name for drugs. We got to watch Alvin chipmunks the sqeakquel twice on Friday. We went to Sulphur Springs this weekend and I found a catapillar and snail. The catapillar was fuzzy. My brother found a couple of crickets. When we went outside we got to play with big dog, its my grandparents dog but we consider him ours. They don't like him because he digs lots of big holes (fact: his paw is at least as big as my hand). We have had lots of rain this weekend. Today at church my teachers weren't there so I had to go to a different class. That is the update for this week.

Sorry its been so long!!

Holding a garner snake, they went searching for snakes as soon as it got warm. They found 3. Not my favorite activity of theirs, but they sure get along great.

I have wanted to get a pict of this face for so long. she make it when we tell her no, she tries not to cry for a few seconds then if she is so inclined will belt out with a scream if she feels the situation requires it.

Its a stick with a chain on it, that turns her into a warrior. I love how they use their imagination.

This is the Quick Queen of Qunicy. In school they got to dress up as Dr. Seuss's characters for the celebration of his birthday.

My little cuddle bug, one of many.

Not enough of me

I have run into the problem of not having enough of me. I am so blessed to have 5 wonderful and cuddly kids. The problem is that I don't have enough room on my lap, or enough arms. The other night I took the hour before bed and while we were watching TV they each took a turn to have 10 minutes with my arms wrapped around them. It was too short of a time for all of them but it took an hour. I hate that I have to clean my house because it takes away from my cuddle time. And by no means is my house clean, I have to do some regular maintenance, but it doesn't seem very effective. With no dishwasher, dishes are my enemy. Laundry is out of control. My things to do list is now a novel. There just is not enough of me.
