If any of you out there are feeling bad about themselves I have the cure ... wait for it ... wait for it ... Step 1 : Get a family picture

Step 2: Post to facebook (or my case have the photographer post to facebook because I haven't posted a pic to face book since 2004, not reason other that pure laziness)
Step 3: Wait
 
 
I have never felt so good about myself. People are so nice! Seriously!

I really love it. But we had a couple other ideas in mind about what we wanted and she really couldn't nail them down. maybe next time! Here's some of the ideas:

I think next year we might get a cat or maybe one for each of us.

Going Viral!

Today while delivering my sick boys flyers I took the worst fall - and I mean the worst. I am now a 34 year old (it is 34 right ...... 78, 79 .... 85,86 ....99, yup 34. Sometimes I have to count back to remember how old I am) women with skinned knees. I'll spare you all the dramatic boring details but I will tell you on the way up the sidewalk to a house I neglected to see a step. So you can imagine what happened.

Scrapped both knees, both hands, got a huge bruise on my right arm and hit my face on the cement (thankfully no marks on my face, cause it's the money maker!).
In some ways I wish somebody would have seen me, so a least that funniness wasn't wasted, but alas I fear it was wasted. I guarantee that if I was caught on video that I would be going viral.

NOTE: I will not be making any mention of the fact that I have been away for some time, nor will I be making any promises of returning with regularity. "YOU GET WHAT YOU GET AND YOU DON'T GET UPSET!"

Is Your Bed Made?

Whoopi told me (the other day when we were chatting it up) that people are more likely to remember to take their medications (ie: the pill) when they make their bed everyday. I don't know where she got those facts, she may have completely made them up for all I know. But I can tell you a little something about me. Get ready it is about to get personal up in here. The level of bed making should be a good indication to my husband what kind of day I have have - or in other words, how much of a bag I am going to be.

 BED ONE - I am not having a great day. I couldn't even get up the energy to make my bed today. I am gonna be unapproachable today (oh and P.S. just in case you haven't figured it out, there will be no supper.)

BED TWO - it's a descent day, probably yelled only once or twice. There will be dinner on the table, but NO DESSERT!

BED THREE - It's has been a great day, I even had the stamina to fully make the bed with decorative pillow. This says I have no intentions of napping today. (although if it comes about that i do nap ... what can you do). There will be dinner and yes there will be dessert. It might be store bought cookies, but that's still dessert.

 

Happy Easter

SO, because I am so fantastical and on top of everything that goes on in my home and with my children, I  will let you take a peek at easter in around these parts. Ready? Are you truly ready for all the magic?

This is the only piece of evidence that exists that easter (or is it Easter, to capitalize or not to capitalize? I am sure there is an answer out there, but I kinda don't care unless.) actually happened. Oh ya and those 'memories' that the children have. To accurately portray this story, they did have baskets purchased the night before at the local drug store and they had plenty of candy. And really isn't that what Easter is all about? ... What? No?

 

Side Note: Easter is capitalized, I just found out while spell checking, and yet I still did not capitalize - take that english language!

He is an Actor.

Ethan got to be in a play - don't think he's some big shot celebraty super talented tween or anything, everyone in his class participated (not that he is not those things above ... but so was everyone else in his class). He had his part memorized and his face got super red while he was saying his lines (sorta matched his hair), but other that the redness you couldn't tell he was nervous at all, he said his lines loud enough (did we ever think that would be a problem) and he spoke at just the right speed. The best part was when he was so happy to me and have me come watch him. He's not embarassed of me ... YET! He reminded me at least 4 time before school that his play was today and asked everytime if I could come watch, eventhough I had already said I was coming.

80's Talk

Ella gave a talk a couple of Sunday's ago - she did great yada yada yada and all that. But the best part was her 80's apparel. She loves those gloves and bracelets, she's only had them less that a week and I have had to wash them twice (you know due to wearing them 24/7, eating in them, working in them and such.)

Our Little Natalie

He really hated his ponytail, but this what happens when Ella and I were bored at home while the other boys were at basketball. We even gave him his lady name Natalie.
