Friday the 13th

I woke up this morning at 8:30 to quiet. I could hear the Sal Jr and KJ playing and laughing quietly together. They normally wake me at 7-7:30ish pleading for me to wake up and feed them because they are starving or want to watch tv or one did something to the other. Today there was none of that. I woke up when I was ready ( awesome since I got off work at midnight and went to bed an hour later). I laid in bed a while and couldnt figure it out. I assumed there had to be another adult in the house. Sal must have had the day off and just didn't tell me. But I did not hear any grown up voices. I took my time going downstairs to greet them. I looked all around the second floor. The bedrooms were still clean, nothing had been broken, nothing had been dumped, no signs of destruction anywhere.
I went downstairs and the television was off. The refrigerator door wasn't hanging open. I couldn't figure it out. Then I rounded the corner and found them cuddled up together playing the iPad. I must have left it in the middle of the hallway last night. That makes sense, I used it for light to creep in and check on them while they were sleeping. They must have woken up around the same time this morning, come out of their rooms and on their way to mine found the iPad.

Tech babysitter? The iPad does everything!

Karina

Karina is probably like most other children in the world but I was not prepared. Sal is pretty laid back. As a little little one he was my into things like she is. If she is not monitored constantly trouble happens.

Since we moved last weekended some of our things are still in boxes. While I was showering the other day she found my make up. Covered herself with it too. She actually did fairly well. I don't wear makeup at all really so I was impressed she knew what it was for.
Then today as I'm cleaning up the play dough she got in the new carpet she walks by me and smells like a grown man. I roll my eyes and ignore it for a second to make her clean up all the toys she dumped from their baskets and the dirty clothes she also dumped. She says "I don't feel very well mama" really? Just pick up the toys. Don't give me excuses using proper grammar. She did pick up the toys. It took five minutes of her writhing around in pain clutching her belly to move 5 stuffed animals 3 feet. Then I go to investigate the smell coming off of her. I find a small bottle of aftershave sitting outside of a box. She screwed the lid back on to hide the evidence. Thanks.

As I type this she is giving her brother "shots" with a liquid medicine syringe she also found that. He probably needs
the medicine to immunize himself from all the spit, farts, coughs and sneezes she purposely planted on him.

I forgot to mention she was half naked through all this. A tiny summer dress she put on and that is all. I can't keep underwear on her. I'm going to stick her in the shower now before I start gagging.

She has been a puppy the last four days. She steals my coffee. She tears her room apart looking for the perfect outfit. She destroys my closet looking for heels to tromp around the house in. She cries like she is hurt over everything. She dishes way more on her brother than she can take. She is spoiled rotten and probably knows. There is so much personality in this gal. She is going to rock my world for sure and I can't wait.
