Relaxation and an Orchid plant

The parents are almost home. Finally. Today was hard- the kids were really missing their mom and dad (and so was I), and all three of us were exhausted.
The 2-year-old came with me to church, and he behaved pretty well. He must have heard some of the sermon, because he loudly asked me where Jesus was, then turned around, pointed toward the back (the cute way little kids do, with both hands up by their face), and said "back there?"

I received a new Cymbidium Orchid plant as a gift from their parents. People always ask me if they're hard to grow, and I have no idea. I guess I'll find out...
This one is a really pretty dark pink color.

They're fighting (or as best as a 2 and a 5 year old can) over whose cup is more blue!
Geez.

Looooonnnng weekend

I started nannying yesterday morning early, and won't be done until Sunday evening late.
whew.
It is currently quiet as the 2-yr-old eats a Clementine, but it won't stay that way. As soon as the kindergartener gets home, it is constant chaos, fights, and yelling until bedtime. Which, I'm happy to report, is usually around 6:30. Last night the house was quiet by 6:40! This means they wake up early too, but since I'm a morning person, it's not too hard to get up.
If I didn't have Kayla around to help, I would probably go crazy.
Is it Sunday yet?

Sooooo yummy!

One of Viv's latest tricks is "Soooo big!" She does it all the time, even when we don't request it... I think she likes to make us smile. Anyway, she also lifts her arms frequently while eating, and so I decided she's saying "Sooooo yummy!" Or maybe it's "This food is making me this big!"
Either way, it's adorable.
Next, we'll teach her- How big is Daddy? ... haha.
