Overheard
Right now, we have a pair of extra kids living with us. We are actively working on making it a permanant situation, although there are still many legal hoops to jump through. Just to refresh you on the kid situation, this is our current status:
  • The Architect (14 year old male)
  • The Artist (12 year old male)
  • The Princess (7 year old female)
  • The Superhero (5 year old male)
  • The Cheerleader (4 year old female)

Yesterday, the younger three were playing so nicely together and the following conversation was overheard by the Architect:

Superhero: But they don't have any powers.
Princess: No. Only God has powers.
Superhero: Yeah. Only God has powers.
Cheerleader: No. What about lava girl?
Not that they ever were before, but now more than ever, things are never dull around here.

Never.

What!?!  What have I ever done to you to make you hoard the interesting info!?!  HOW many times can I use that exclamation-question-exclamation punctuation mark!?!  LOL

And, yeah, never ever dull smile

Well, I’ve been itching to share the news but working with government agencies and all that has just sucked the life out of the entire process - major emotional roller-coaster ride.  Things are still dicey even now.

We’ll be expecting info when appropriate. Because, well, inquiring minds want to know.  And by “appropriate” I don’t mean 18 months later when you casually mention your five children. Like the time my husband’s sister found her birth-brother after years and years of searching and my husband forgot to mention it to me. Everyone assumed he told me, the folly of which was revealed months later when I commented on how much she looked like the guy in the picture on the mantel and wondered who he was.  She said “Patrick” like I was ... slow. I asked who Patrick was. Suddenly, all eyes turned on my husband who said something weak along the lines of ... “Ummm, I’m sure I mentioned it?”
