"I'M NOT EDNA!!!" and more



Yes, this is the beginnings of a Super Hero Cape/Mask. I labored over this cape for three hours this past week for Landon for Christmas. He has a red one that we picked up on our cruise in Mexico that isn't the greatest of qualities either, but he loves it. So I decided to give Super Hero cape making a try. I quickly discovered,

"I'M NOT EDNA!"

Now if you haven't see The Incredibles

Photobucket,
this comment makes no sense to you at all. If you are a family member you are thinking of my good mother in law, who could totally sew this, because she is an Edna, and if you have seen The Incredibles, you are laughing you tail off! I hope.

I won't bore you with the details of that sew adventure, just suffice it to say that my days of workign for the heros is over for now.


Some lovely flowers from my DH!



First snow of the year, and it landed and stayed on a Sunday. So I broke a family rule and let them enjoy it since I knew (and it has) it would melt before the day was over. It consummed about an hour of their time and they loved it! If you look closely you can see the large snowball thatCate threw; it is about to clobber Landon. Hit his shoulder, and he laughed pretty loud and hard about it.



So I really need to blog about my mom's tribute and what not, but here is one photo from the day that is non-tribute story line. They gave away some door prizes, and we won two hats, and a pair of gloves, which of course we left at the farm, cause what good are they really to us....and a toy Bull. Not a cow. It's a bull. You can tell.

Now how to explain to Landon that calling it a cow is incorrect.


Baaahhhhhaahahah!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
