Abby's People

Abby has just started to draw people. I love this stage! I think these pictures are so cute, the people are all head and no body just two little stick legs. It's so much fun to watch them develop from scribbles to this. Did I say I love this stage, because I really do love this stage. It's so cute!

Goofballs

I think these pictures speak for themselves

Okay maybe a small explanations. My kids are so silly, especially Christopher. I bought these masks for Abby at IKEA, and my older kids thought they were cool. So Christopher put the chicken mask on and went around the house clucking then Rachel chimed in with the cat mask. What a bunch of GOOFBALLS.

Ramblings of a Housewife - Poem

You know that poem "There was an old Women" I'm always repeating that to my kids. So I decided to come up with my own version.

There was a young mother
who lived in the burbs.
She had four children
who got on her nerves.
She drove them to soccer
and football and dance.
Then she yelled at them sternly
to pick up their pants.
She gave them all baths
without any bubbles.
Then she ate some more chocolate
to relieve all her troubles.
She read them all stories
and tucked them in bed.
Then she whispered “I love you”
and kissed each head.
Now the kids are all sleeping
and the house is all quiet.
So now’s the perfect time
to go blow her diet.

This is dedicated to all the moms out there - Ann

Destructo Boy

Isn't this a nice picture. It's Christopher's old ipod that wasn't working. He was so proud of himself for smashing it all up. He even took this picture himself so he could remember what it looked like when he destroyed it. He has even kept a small little piece to remind him of his most awesomest total destruction ever. OH well, I guess boys will be boys.

Funny Smile

Sariah lost her tooth last night and she was so excited. She placed her tooth in the tooth fairy box and went to bed. When she woke up this morning she ran into my room to show me her dollar she received from the tooth fairy. She was so excited until she looked into the mirror and smiled, then her smile changed "Mom, my smile looks funny now."

Halloween

If you can't guess what we are Sariah is Hannah Montana or a Cheetah Girl (I'm not sure which one she decided on) Rachel is Cruella Devil, Abby is a kitty cat, I'm a stressed out mom (Jim thought a Porn star would be better, but I'm not sure that costume is kid appropriate) and Coco is a pig.



For the first year ever our Halloween picture is without Christopher. I was lucky to even get this shot. He took off trick or treating with his friends as soon as he could and only popped in a couple times to get a drink. Oh, by the way he is Zorro
