Good days...and then days like today

Today is not a good day. Nothing earth shattering, but certainly not blog worthy. Lily has another cold and I'm um, how do I put this delicately? I'm being tortured by my monthly visitor...cramps, bloating, fatigue, and can you say CRANKY!? Yeah, that's me. Just give me a shovel so I can dig a hole and crawl in for about 24 hours. No shovel for me? OK, sorry Lily, momma's just gonna turn on "Dora saves the Mermaids" one more time.
A couple weeks ago, however, we had a very good day spent with my sister and her kiddos. We played at her house for awhile...Logan read to the younger kids, they made funny faces for the camera of course, and Lily and Payton took turns walking each other. Yep, that's what they are doing in the pictures - pretending to be dogs - with a real leash. They actually fought over who's turn it was to be the doggy. After all that doggone good fun we headed to CiCi's pizza for a delicious (and dirt cheap) lunch! If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: We are sooo blessed to live so close to Lily's cousins. They are her very best friends - and ya'll know how I feel about my sis.
Michelle, if you are reading this: we miss you and wish you lived closer. Can't wait to see you and the kids in January.
OK, enjoy the pics. If you look closely at the last picture you will see how Lily spends her time at restaurants while most people are EATING.

I so know how your feeling about wanting to crawl into a hole - I hope your feeling better soon! I love these pictures (as I love all of them) We have a CiCi's pizza near us and I've never been - will definitely check it out. Maybe Friday - it's right next to J's school and they are having a carnival friday night - do they do dinner too?

They definitely looked like they were having a blast. So nice they get along so well.
Hoping you fell better soon, I hate those days of the months, even more when I think that all these years of monthly pain and bad mood are completely useless...

Hope you feel better soon! Isn't it so much fun being a female?!

I love the pictures and a cheap lunch at CiCi's. We've had quite a few cheap lunches at CiCi's (Lily loves their noodles).

I know too...I had one of those awful CRAMPY days last weekend. I love the pictures of the kids playing "doggy" that is so cute. Just goes to show you they don't need a bunch of expensive toys to have fun. Thanks for checking out my blog!
