What the no good, lazy, pig stealing midgets have been doing...

The kids and I have been laying low the past few days. We've been sleeping late and chilling by the pool, and just generally being lazy sloths. The Boy has been waking up early 2-3 times a week and running and also had a petsitting gig for some friends. The Princess took a few dance classes and has kept herself busy by swimming in the pool...

(In completely unrelated news, I've been calling the kids no-good, lazy, pig stealing midgets lately. Do any of you know what book/movie that's from?)

She's also been dancing around the house singing.

Loudly.

"Hey I just met you, and this crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe!"

Teenagers. Always entertaining.

The Boy took a nap while The Princess swam...

And last night, that wonderful Boy cooked dinner.

He volunteered to do it. All by himself. Without any hints from moi. He set the table and dished out humongous amounts of spaghetti on the plates and he even lit a candle!

Mommie Dearest was VERY impressed.

In other totally unexciting news, Jack has been moping around because he's not happy with his new and reduced portion sizes.

The Boy tried to cheer him up by sending Buddy in to play with him, but Jack didn't seem enthusiastic about his playdate.

I'm glad we've been taking it easy, because this week is going to be busy, busy, busy. We have a LOT going on...from a doctor's appointment for The Boy to more dance classes for The Princess.  We're also going to visit a college for a tour on Wednesday...

And we have another fun (for us) event planned for Thursday. More on that later.

Then Friday Roxane, the French exchange student arrives!

We're tres excited!

Ca va!
