Martha,
We had some good times. You brought a lot of laughter into our home. Thank you for sticking around long enough to become part of the family. Everyone is sad to see you go.
Everyone that is….but me.
Good riddance.

Goodbye Martha
Serving Time
This boy has been serving a lot of time lately.
It is unfortunate, because he is literally the happiest little guy in town.
But like most convicts, he has a vice.
To some it is the thrill of stealing.
Others have a drug of choice.
His is pens.
This boys vice is always in his face, and going to be a tough one to overcome.
But the warden in the house is going to make sure of a full recovery.
If not…this boy is going to get a life sentence!
Improving
This boy has a lot of talents.
Crossing his eyes is one of his best.
And I am always a fan of honing your talents.
So some mothers would say, “don’t do that…your eyes will cross forever.”
But I say, “Nice work Scout…you are getting better and better!”
Chex Mix
Micah is a major nostalgia lover.
Anything that reminds him of his childhood makes him excited to repeat it.
So the other day I walked into the kitchen to Micah and the kids making Chex Mix.
Apparently, when he was young, he was at a buddies and they were doing a huge puzzle while eating Chex Mix, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I’m wondering if our three kids begging to pour in the ingredients, while eating half of it away satisfied his nostalgia?
Krispy Treats
Krispy showed up today with a great North Pole treat.
We added warm milk and got the most delicious hot chocolate.
Or “warm chocolate” as Dash would say.
Girl’s Bath
The Pips is taking big girl baths.
And look what other big girl wanted in.
There is something about sisters…isn’t there.
Art?
Guess what little pen-loving boy gussied up a helpless little girl?
Was he trying to express himself?
I wasn’t sure.
But he was sure…when I was expressing myself!
Pips at 2 Months
It was back to Carruthy’s office again today.
This time it was for her 2 month appointment.
She weighed in at Dash’s birth weight — 7lbs 11oz.
She is a teeny bit below average on all scales, but nothing drastic.
Then they pricked her little heel, and her hemoglobin was still low at 9.3, so we are still monitoring it.
And when Carruthy came in, he laughed a bit at her bow.
But when I asked him if she wasn’t the cutest little girl he had ever seen, he said that she was!
I knew it!
Our Tree ‘13
This year, the kids picked a winner.
And on our way to checking out, the kids were hitching a ride.
But then Scout and Navy came up with the idea of getting a mini tree for themselves.
We told them they could if they paid for it with their own money.
So Scout did the honors of carrying it to the check out.
As Micah tied both on top of the car, Scout and Navy took it as a green light to climb all sides of the car.
And then hang out on the roof.
And finally slide down the front windshield.
-
Now the excitement lies in decorating the tree.
Let’s just see what this year has to offer…
Isn’t it amazing!?
Have you ever seen a googly eye tree with a monster on top?
I hadn’t until today!
Three Ladies
The three ladies of the house.
Me…I’m just chopped liver.
And the photographer.
