Well, my exciting Vegas weekend consisted of getting to town late Friday night, sleeping in the next morning, then heading to Christina's condo to clean for her. Maddie, Gracie, Sarah, Mom and I helped deep clean her house as a birthday surprise present for Matthew. Nina has had a hard time cleaning since she is pregnant, sick and tires so easily. It is actually a lot more fun to clean someone else’s house! Maddie and Gracie even got into it. Maddie wiped down the kitchen cupboards and they both used a half a bottle of Windex to clean the outside of the trash can. Gracie practiced jumping off the couch and yelling "surprise!" for a half hour before Matthew came home. I wasn't sure he would even notice what we had done...he is a guy after all...but when he walked in he noticed immediately! He exclaimed “This is the perfect present for an OCD clean person!" I forgot about that.... We were glad that he liked it. And we love to help out our cute little pregnant sis.

That night we had a truly amazing and wild Las Vegas night....watching TV. I don't have TLC at home! I have to get it as much as can while I'm here! Plus...I don't have to worry about cleaning my house for 4 hours a day and stressing about how the viewings are going. Watching TV and being lazy is such a treat. Sunday was another lazy day...family dinner and an evening of rice pudding and ice cream. Yummmm.

So I'll be here at least a week longer (if I don't melt into a puddle of goo from the heat first). The girls love playing with the neighbors and cousins (technically first cousins once removed).
Gracie had a ball getting Roxy to do tricks tonight. After giving Roxy treats, she turned to me and the conversation went something like this:
Gracie: Now do it to me!
Me: You are doing it! (I thought she meant to let her command Roxy)
Gracie: NO...I want to do tricks!
Me: Okay, (I put my hand out) Shake, Gracie!
Gracie: NO… I want a treat to do it!
Me: (Laughing...)
Gracie: Please, mommy??
So how could I say no? I got a bunch of crasins from the pantry and Gracie did all the same tricks Roxy does. Roll over, shake, sit, dance, and play dead. Roxy looked a little confused.

Another anecdote....
Stephanie's youngest little girl cracks me up! She is quite the 2 1/2 year old firecracker! Today at their house, she proudly showed me her string cheese and said, "My mommy took the wrapper off for me!" I said, "Wow, you have such a nice mommy!" She replies thoughtfully..."yah...umm, but sometimes she's mean."
