I am being dragged kicking and screaming into the blogging world by my well-meaning younger sister Jess! So here it is, MY BLOG! I know, I know, our baby boy Austin is not in the family picture. But it's almost 10 p.m. and this is the best picture I can find so we'll have to work on the family picture with Austin in it later! A summary.. . . Eric has been working in Texas for the last 8 months and so it's been just me n the kids. They are all still alive and I am not currently seeing a shrink so I guess we're hanging in there alright! So what have we been up to today? Well, Austin likes to eat and make gurgley sounds. He had smooshed peas for dinner, poor kid! Mckinlee has just started ballet lessons and Lindsay and Ashley just started tumbling, so today we've been pirouting and doing handstands in the living room, with Austin looking on and screaming at the appropriate times. Then I showed Ashley how to clean the bathroom (again) and Lindsay and Ashley got in a slapping fight and whacked each other in the face a few times. It's all fun and games until someone starts crying and then it's drama for the next 10 minutes and I'm wondering how many Tylenol I should take for the headache I've just developed. Bedtime . . . . . ahhhhhh. Goodnight angels. Now its "me" time and I'll probably horse around on the computer for awhile. I'm getting a sore throat too, darn! A day in the life of the Porter's!
