Saturday Snooze

This is how I feel today, too.

We're Getting a New Sister

No, my mother is not pregnant! My brother Jeff is getting married! Can you believe it?!! Who would have thought, but he has found the ONE. We are very excited to be getting a new sister (especially one that will be living near us!) Her name is Jennifer and she will be the "new" Jennifer K*o*s*k*i! It is kind of funny to think of your brother as romantic, but we are very glad that Jen has brought out a side of him that we didn't know!

Mom the Magician

Sometimes moms have to just work their magic. Have a look at this little card.....

Good morning Princess! Aren't you just the cutest button in the box?!

It's just you and me up so early. We are going to get a lot done today aren't we.

Okay, so maybe not as much as I would like, but you don't have to openly laugh at your mother. I can make our little one on one session vanish you know...hehheh.

Yes, there is a hair raising presence behind you. You don't believe your mother? Go ahead...look.

Hmphh...now where did my wand go?

Tuesday Truths

Life has been on fast forward lately. It happens around this time every month. My husband gets his week reprieve from shift work, and then we blink (well this week it has been cough, snort, and sniffle)...and it is over. Maybe it is because when he is off I try to....schedule all of my appointments, schedule all of the kids' appointments, pick up shifts at work, spring clean the house, learn to sew, start 12 new sewing projects before I learn to sew (more on that later), nourish the malnourished, and fight for world peace. Yikes, it is exhausting. "Bertha! My tea needs a refill, and the baby is crawling...CRAWLING?!" It is hard to find good help these days.

Button Butterfly

This was a fun project that Kali and I did together for her room. Since we painted it last fall, her room has had bare walls...until now. Any other ideas for decorating a really pink room inexpensively?

Do I Have a Screw Loose?

This is Kyle's automatic screwdriver that came with a car that you can take apart and put back together. She gets ahold of it and puts it in her mouth (naturally) and also manages to push the power button. It must feel good on her gums, because she gets mad if you try to take it away!

I might have to try it for my loose screws!

And today in the funnies...

They look so intelligent and well-behaved.....(at least they can look that way for this blog!)
