new math...

Kid goes to school with $4.00 to spend at the book fair.
Kid gives $2.00 away to a couple of moochers.
Kid comes home with a $6.00 book & two sweet hi-lighters...
You do the math?!?!?
All I know is this kid will accompany me on any & all shopping trips when I really want to score a deal.

(After "kid" got a tongue lashing from mom about swindling, handouts & mooching...mom was able to have a little laugh about it)

friday fashion foto...

This pic is about 5 years old...but in all fairness it is the pic that started it all...Matthew has taught his younger siblings well. They have all successfully learned the "art" of dress-up from him.

It's a good thing this kid loves his mom so much, or I would be in A LOT of trouble for sharing this!!

Lizzie's the winner!!!!

Idaho, Boise Mission!!!!

My nephew, Jordan received his mission call today. This southern California boy is spud bound! He brought the unopened envelope to our house and John set up a web cam so his parents (Diane-my sis & Tom), and any other out of state family (we have a lot) could join in the fun. Diane put a "where in the world" post on her blog a couple of weeks ago and...Lizzie guessed right...hee hee! Um...I believe there was a prize involved...!?!?!

Afrin de-tox...

After one of the LONGEST weeks of my life (BAD cold=stuck at home feeling crappy and trying to entertain the little people at home while still feeling crappy)...this is the part where you feel really sorry for me...I have to say goodbye. My sister recommended Afrin at the beginning of the week when nothing else was working for me. You're only supposed to use said nose spray for 3-4 days tops...I'm on day 8...woops! Tomorrow I have to fly solo without my new BFF...Afrin. Wish me luck...

CONGRATS!!! & YEA!!!

My dear friend, Alison gave birth to the cutest twin girls EVER on Thursday! I got to go hold them (at the same time...thank you!), change diapers (I even got a little poop on my cheek...don't ask me how...I have no idea!), feed them a bottle, etc. It brought back some fond memories of newborn twins! I did get some darling pics of them, but in all fairness I will wait for their mom to post them. Welcome Kate & Claire! Alison...I'm here for you. It may have been 10 years ago, but I remember it well!!!

friday fashion foto(s)...

I don't encourage it...I just photograph it.

(always in front of my pantry for some reason)

hmmmmmm...

NOTE FROM PRESCHOOL TEACHER...

"Just want to mention also that "SPRING FEVER" has definitely hit our Preschool!! The kids have become very chatty and aren't listening as well as I know they can. I even know who is going to marry whom!!!!!!!!!! I would appreciate it if you would remind them to be on their best behavior when they come to school. We will be going out to recess soon and that will help too."

What makes me think that my little preschooler had something to do with the issuing of this letter??? (I asked him if EVERYONE got one of these...or just him...) He's pleading the fifth.
