Mischief and Mayhem Always Follow Trouble

It was just another lazy day around our house. I'm still sick and it was freezing cold out. I actually had to turn on the heat this morning. That was funny because Adia would go up to the heaters and say, "On! Hot!" and then blow like she does when her food's hot. Later, when the heaters were back off, she got mad at me that they weren't on.

We started our day with a bubble bath. I washed her hair and we played with bubbles. Adia absolutely loves bubbles. I was able to sneak out of the tub while Adia continued to play.

Adia desperately wanted to go outside, so I decided it would be a good chance to take some pics before it started raining all the time. I bundled her up in her new sweater, that I absolutely love. We headed out the door and Adia immediately started yelling, "pumpkin!" when she saw the pumpkins on the porch. She wouldn't let us go down the stairs without one. We played around and took pictures. She wouldn't cooperate though and then the wind picked up. Her nose started running like crazy and it was obvious she was cold too. She only wanted me to pick her up and hold her so we went back inside. I'm glad I got a few cute pictures though.








We came inside and Adia kept saying, "Want some" over and over again. I had no idea what she wanted and she wasn't telling me. Eventually she started saying "pop pop pop" so we made some popcorn. That seemed to do the trick. She as happy for a little while before we ate lunch.


Adia started throwing one tantrum after another after lunch. It was horrible. Everything turned into a fight with screaming and throwing things. That's when I knew a nap was definitely going to happen in the near future, even if Adia didn't want one. I fought her for half a hour, but we both ended up falling asleep. She cried that whole time and her nose was running like a faucet, which would then annoy her horribly. She would start saying, "Nose, nose, nose," until I wiped it and then the crying would start all over again. I was glad when we both got naps. I was wiped out. I managed to set her down when I woke up and Daddy soon woke up too. We played video games until Adia woke up again.

I had to use my new mixer today so I made some Jello No Bake Cheesecake. I know Adia can eat the filling so I knew we could share. The first time we had it, she wasn't a fan, but she loved it this time. After licking the whisk clean, she kept pointing at it and saying, "More please?"


After dinner Adia was a cranky, tantruming wild child. It was awful and it took me over 90 minutes to finally get her to sleep. I did get lots of hugs and kisses out of her though. She's always trying new ways to get out of bedtime.
