Another side note:
Little kids have such a way about them. How many others out there have had this happen:
Olivia: Mom?
Me: Yes Olivia.
Olivia: I want to give you something.
Me (Keep in mind that it is past bedtime and mommy has quit being mommy for the night): What Olivia! You are supposed to be in bed.
Olivia (Taking my hands off the keyboard, turning my chair, flinging herself into my arms.): A hug! Mommy, I'm not tired.
Me (Keeping in mind that it is now almost summer and it's practically daylight outside even though it is now 9:00.): Get your butt to bed. Close you're eyes and sleep will come.
Olivia: But mommy, do I have a rip in my head?
Me (Looking over to see her pulling at the part in her hair where her piggy tails were all day): Um. No. Olivia, there is no rip in your head.
Olivia: Are you sure? I feel a rip in my head. I just ripped it and I feel a rip in my head.
Me (trying not to laugh): Go to bed.
She's just lucky she's so cute.

Ha ha ha about the soccer picture and you and Leon. I'm the same way. :)
We haven't had any ripped heads, but we have had a million other excuses to stay try to get out of going to sleep. :)

Oh Lord, this one had me laughing right out loud! The soccer picture just slayed me. And of course, Livvie and her continuing efforts to write the best-seller, 1001 Reasons Not To Go To Bed, Even Though I Know Mommy Is Tired And It's Really Best For My Own Health If I Just Give In And Go To Sleep. Too funny, that girl.
Oh, and give your feet a break. They will heal. Eventually. With expensive orthotics. And rest.
Gah, a little warning for the nasty feet pics PLEASE! lol
I.hate.feet.!!
