TGIF!

 TGIF!!! It may have been a short week but it felt like a long one. Boy. It was just a run, run, run week with little to no down time each day that has left me feeling wiped out. Last night I was in bed, asleep by 9pm!

Eliana finally got a good night's rest last night, after being up multiple times the night before with her cold. But she refused to nap today, mostly because she couldn't breathe. So instead she drove her mama nuts by spending the entire 2+ hours yelling, crying, talking, singing and throwing everything she could get her hands on out of the crib.

This is what I came into.

What a stinker!

And here's the little angel enjoying her snack. She got this cute outfit from one of Ben's aunts and she just loves being all purple! I put the headband on her and she kept saying, "Missy's 'band!"

She didn't get to enjoy her brothers' presence too long because she got sent to bed early. Yes, m'am! This was one tired little cookie, who fought with every last drop in her little being until she dropped off to sleep out of pure exhaustion.

 Our upstairs is very poorly insulated so we bundle up with as many covers as we can each night. Samuel wrapped himself all up and begged me to take a picture:)

And so, of course, I had to get one of my Z-man, too:) After we banished the princess to her slumber, the rest of us played the game "Sorry" and ate our pizza. This weekend's homemade treat (we try to only eat dessert on Fridays and Saturdays) was upside down pineapple cake! It was a smash hit with all my men:)

It's nice to be appreciated!
