Today did not go exactly how I planned it when I went to bed last night.
But instead of gripe and complain about it to you, I think I’ll give you some of the positive things that came out of today.
UPS
I had a good run this morning.
I was able to practice some patience with all my kids in a very busy bank
Had some quality one-on-one time with each of my children
Was able to hang out with my mom and actually get to talk to her without much interruption from the kiddos. (THANKS MAMA)
Had a nice dinner with the family even though someone (ahem) was a little preoccupied
DOWNS
Today had more downs than I want to list. So I’m not going to.
You’re welcome!
OH and by the way I had a BLAST last night, if you ever get a chance to go see some Mexican wrestling, do it, it was a so fun. I have some great pictures of me with some of the wrestlers, but alas my camera is in the van and Mr. Vargas took the van on his guys night out, so you will just have to wait for another day.

Three Things Thursday
Three Things Thursday
Today my three things are things that I am looking forward to.
1. This weekend! The kids have a four day weekend and Mr. Vargas has Monday off, and then Hosea and Micah start school on Tuesday!
2. My Passport came in the mail today, which reminded me that I only have THREE more weeks before I get to be on the beach in sunny Mexico.
3. And speaking of Mexico, tonight Mr. Vargas and I are going out to watch some live Lucha Libre. If you don’t know what that is, it is Mexican wrestling.
What are your three things?

Where have I been?
I know, I have been terrible at blogging.
There were not nearly enough blogs in August.
Not for lack of things to write about.
Quite the opposite actually.
I believe I have fallen out of the habit of doing it.
So in order to get back into the swing of things...
You guessed it.
BLOG-A-DAY is back!

Judah and the Cucumber
We had Thai chicken salad for dinner
As I was peeling a cucumber Judah came in
Judah-Hey can I have some of that peel
Me-Sure, why do you want to eat the peel?
Judah-It probably tastes good and that is where all the iron is.
Me-What makes you think the peel has iron in it?
Judah-Because it is dark green and dark green things are full of iron.
Then he proceeds to tell me that I need to put the peels in a blender
and make a smoothie for him out of it.
Then when I was cutting up the tomato he comes back in asked for a
bite of it.
Me-Me are having salad for dinner so can just wait.
Judah-I can't help it I just love food
I'm all about the food, three things I love
1. Being served food
2. Cooking food (when does he cook?)
3 . Eating food
Me-Umm 1 and 3 are the same thing?
Judah-Yea but I really love it
The Thai chicken salad turned out really good even though we were
missing a key ingredient in the dressing, but Mr. Vargas fixed it and
the boys couldn't get enough of it, which if you know my anti-dressing
Judah this is major
Multiple what?
Because I didn’t have my hands full enough with
1 husband
1 almost 9 year old
1 6 ½ year old
1 4 year old
2 2 year olds
1 dog
3 fall classes
Working half day 3 days a week
We decided to start our own company!
It is an online t-shirt company
www.multiplepersonaliteez.com
It will mainly cater to parents of multiples.
I think we are going to have a lot of fun with it
P.S I know it has been forever since I blogged, enter random excuses here...or see above

Wrapping things up
Not sure why it has taken me like 6 days to get this one up here, but here is what we did LAST Thursday.
First we went to the White House, but we had to be there at 7:15 for our 7:30 tour, we decided it would be best to take the Metro so this meant we had to get up at 5:30 to be there on time, not really hard task since the babies had been waking up all week at 6, much earlier than their usual 8. Anyway we get to the metro and the train is about there when Anna realizes that we don’t have the tickets for the Washington Monument (which was second on our list and we were to be there at 9:30) so there wouldn’t be time to come back and get them, so she hurriedly told us directions on where we were going and what to do and told us she would meet us at there, as she went back to get the tickets.
We got to where we were going kind of on time, however we weren’t allowed to take the stroller in (we already knew this, but had planned on Anna staying out with the stroller-since she has been a few times already) so I waited at the gate while the boys and Jeremy went in, and Anna showed up just in time for me to catch up with them in the long security line. We have no pictures of the inside as we weren’t allowed to take our camera in. However it was very cool, even if we only were allowed to see a handful of rooms. I do think it was Josiah’s favorite part of the day.
Then it was off to the Washington Monument where we got to go all the way to the top and take some pictures, it was very cool.
After that walked over to see the WW2 memorial and then decided to go to Union Station to check it out and eat lunch.
After lunch we went to tour the Capitol building, not real sure why I don’t have more pictures of this but it was very cool and we had our own personal tour guides (three of them actually) I kind of missed the whys and how’s of that but I think it had something to do with a friend of my sister’s connections. Anyway I loved seeing all the art and all the symbolisms.
Each state gets to send two statues to the capitol for them to display and every ten years they can change them if they want. Well Oklahoma’s two statues are Will Rogers and Sequoyah, except that Jeremy didn’t hear her and thought she said Bill Rogers and we spent half the tour trying to figure out who the heck Bill Rogers was.
After the Capitol we were supposed to go to Kennedy Center but we decided that we had seen enough and were all tired. Oh did I mention it was about 100 degrees out?
We did have a great time but we were very ready to start our journey home. Which after a great stop in Louisville to see my Uncle and Aunt and Cousins we haven’t seen in a while. Oh and my Dad came down from Indiana with my kid sister. (I do have some great pictures of this and will post them as soon as I find my camera) We did finally make it home at 1 o’clock Sunday morning.
Since we have been home we have just been taking it easy.
