I <3 Kids

I should have posted this long ago, but life got in the way...

We had some friends over to play. The kids were in the backyard digging, of course. I was in the Kitchen baking. I heard them singing, through the open window, and smiled to myself.

Then I realized what they were singing and my heart smiled.

Listen closely...

I'm finally getting around to posting my "handmade" gifts

for 2 of the 3 who accepted my offer.

My friend taught me how to make hair bows

and I had SO much fun with it.

Sarah just had a baby girl and

Debbie is going to have one any day now,

so I went to work.

I didn't get a picture of the bows I sent Debbie,

but a lot of them were the same as Sarah's.

Watch out for all the pictures...

Goodbye, Get Out

When I was a teenager my mom was dropping off one of our friends. As a joke she said "goodbye, get out". I've always thought this was hilarious. So, when I drive my kids to school, we do all the kissy faces, I love yous and then I say "goodbye, get out" and Savannah says "goodbye, stay in." Today when we got home we pulled into the garage and I said "goodbye, get out" Savannah paused, confused then smiled, then Willson said "goodbye, get out."

we were bored...

Savannah

Mason
Delaney
Willson
He saw Laney doing it.
He couldn't hold still long enough.

I finally get to post this...

I received confirmation from my sister that her girls received these, so I get to post it now. Fun Halloween bows, handmade by me. Love it!

Loser

The other night we were laughing and joking at the dinner table. Delaney pulled this out...That just made me laugh harder.

Embarrassing

Last night Andy I were visiting and laughing and for some reason he quoted something from one of the many dumb books that I've read, that he makes fun of me for reading. So I laughed at him and asked him if he'd read it. He admitted that he's read a little bit of it, just to check up on me. He further admitted that he does this occasionally with the books I read. I laughed so hard. I think he might secretly enjoy dumb teen romances. At this point though I don't know what is more embarrassing. Me for admitting that I've read it, or Andy for checking up on me. What man do you know can say he's read, part of it anyway, the following book...

Christmas

So, I was recently called to the Activities Committee for our ward, along with my Enrichment Committee calling. I went to my first meeting last week. We were talking about assignments for our upcoming Halloween party. When asked what my talents were I told them that I'm really good at showing up. I can also follow directions really well. I'm not terribly good at coming up with party decorations, but I am really good at seeing someones vision through. That being said, I've been blog stalking a few places that have really good ideas for gifts. Christmas this year is going to be slim, so I decided I want to make our Christmas gifts. I'm super excited about it! I love to make things for those I love. I've seen lots of great ideas. Yeah, I'm going on blogs of people I've never met and using their great ideas. I'm struggling with what to make for Mason though. Girls are so much easier to make things for, so if anyone has any handmade boy ideas I would really appreciate it.

Tastes like Chicken

I was on the computer, I think I was actually blogging at the time. We had just pulled out our Halloween decorations and with them two really cool rubber spiders. Willson fell in love with them and was carrying them around, biting and pulling on them. Since we were in the Family Room together I wasn't worried about a thing...

That is until I heard him screaming "Eww" and saw him running back and forth behind me. I whirled around, thinking we had a diaper issue. Instead I found Willson had bit the head off the spider and I now had pellets all over my floor. We were expecting guests within minutes, so I hurriedly ran for the vacuum. Willson continued to scream "Eww" and run through the decapitated spider mess. I quickly vacuumed and as I was getting ready to put the vacuum away, Delaney said that she thought she heard someone knocking. I ran to the door and our friends were there. I apologized, said I hoped they hadn't been waiting long and explained that I had the vacuum on because Willson bit the head off a spider.

When I saw her look of horror and disgust I realized what I'd said. I reassured her that my son was not psycho and that I merely misspoke. Moral of the story, when you're frazzled, watch what you say.

Look what I made

So, I'm really excited about this new project.

I made tutus for the girls Halloween costumes.

"Pinkalicious" for Delaney Witch for Savannah

Love them!
Now we're going to do them for our "Super Saturday"

Conversation

This morning Willson and I had a conversation.

It went like this...

Willson walks into the room no longer wearing pants.

Me: Willson, did you take your pants off?

Willson: Naooo

Me: Okay, where are your pants?

Willson: I no know. Pants. Take off.

Me: Oh, you took your pants off?

Willson: Naooo
