Black and Blue

This is what Emme's face currently looks like.  Isn't it pretty.  Friday morning it was a struggle for us to get going.  Alex didn't sleep well that night and the girls didn't go to sleep till late. Of course they had to be up the minute the sun was.  (They literally come in and tell me the sun is up every morning so I need to get up no matter what time it is. ) So that morning we were all a little cranky.  After breakfast the girls began arguing over princess dolls, horses and a dinosaur.  No matter what the toy was if Livi had it Emme wanted it.  About ten Alex goes down for his morning nap.  Which means they are quiet or they sit in time out.  (Well Livi on the couch making faces at me and playing quiet and Emme plays in her room)  Both were playing quietly Livi was doing a play with her dolls on the fireplace and Emme looking at books.  I had the great idea that I would go take a shower by myself.  Being a Mom of three I rarely do anything by myself.  After a couple minutes Emme came in screaming.  Matt woke up and tried to find out what was wrong.  Her and Livi were playing with Alex's ball.  Livi threw it at her and it hit her face.  Poor Matt went to get something cold for her eye.  (He only had two hours of sleep) He brought back a bag of peas.  Which were open and the fell all over the place.  The next trip he brought back a ice pack.  While she iced her eye she insisted I lay next to her and watch Sheriff Callie with her.  I always love cuddle time with my little girl.  Plus I got to finish my book.  She even wanted me to read it too her.  Later she told me she couldn't help or go to bed because her eye hurt. This will be her excuse for everything for a while.  Got to love being four.
