Bathing Crazies

You’ve got to love when you can get them all clean at once!

Hair Fail

You can imagine my surprise when I went to help in Navy’s classroom, and her hair was in the rattiest ponytails I’ve even seen.

But I guess, when she left the house in a huff because I had put her hair into two buns (one on each side) — her worst hairstyle — I should have known.

Donuts?

Just a quick little note the “kids” wrote and slipped under the bathroom door, to a showering Daddy.

Each of my kids got a chocolate advent calendar at the beginning of the month. You wouldn’t believe that Dash’s lasted a day. He somehow climbed to the high spot where they were displayed, and swiped his down and went to town. The poor guy looked bummed every time Scout and Navy had their one piece of chocolate each morning.

So he took matters into his own hands, and climbed again, and swiped for the second time.

Here he is…caught in the act.

By the time I saw him, he had already torn Scout’s whole calendar apart, and eaten all but four chocolates.

But Scout took it in stride when he came home from school to see the mess. He said, “That’s okay Dashy…I don’t like those chocolates anyway.”

That’s the Christmas spirit!

But you can understand why Krispy, who brought chocolate spoons for the kids, wrote, “Just add warm milk! And tell Dash not to touch me!”.

Bangs or No Bangs?

I have tried to grow Navy’s bangs out before, but then she looks too old, and I chop them.

But this time, she and I have decided that it is time.

So for now, we are letting them grow.

But tomorrow…in honor of keeping her young in my eyes…I just may get scissors happy.

Dash Strikes Again

There is no secret that Dash is my charmer. I often tell any adult man to take notes from the master. But he hit a new high this morning with his mother. I made him some cereal, and he asked for more milk a few minutes in. When I told him I was happy to get him more milk, he responded with, “Mom, you are great!” And then when I sighed like I was in love, he said, “And mom, you are beautiful.” Who wouldn’t want to wake up to this boy? And then the ultimate…maybe of all time! As I was bringing his milk over to him, he looked right at me, and said, “Mom…you are my angel.” And then I promised to give him anything in the whole world he ever wants!

76

A huge 76th Happy Birthday to my mom.

Or in Micah’s words, “Patty Poo”.

Or in Navy’s words, “Pat Ure”.

Or in Dash’s words, “Nonnie”.

Or in Pippi’s words, “NaNaNaNaNaNa”.

Or in Scout’s, “The Old Granny”.

No matter what name you are called….you are the BEST!

Out Of Control Shoppers

I remember when Brett told me she would never go anywhere with her kids because it was way too hectic. I thought she was a lightweight, and that I would totally take my kids places. And I do, but many times wish I didn’t.

For example:
