Shameless Plug

Yikes! I'm trying to start up a new business, I'm super nervous about it, but kind of excited too. Check it out it's www.cutehappyheads.blogspot.com
There's not a ton of stuff on there yet, but just you wait, I've got tons of ideas and cute little tricks, there just aren't enough hours in a day!
Now, onto family business, we have all been sick! I think and hope hope hope it's all over for now. London and Ethan both had the flu, so I was up all night with London first, then a couple nights later it was E-man -yahoo for puke. Then I got to be sick, I didn't throw up or anything, just fevered and felt like someone kicked my butt.
Finally, we all get over it (for some amazing miraculous reason the flu spared Smalls and Rambo). We were having a pretty normal life again, and I was out of my pajamas and actually dressed, when Rambo brought home all the fixin's for sandwiches...it was bad turkey, so he and I got food poisoning. Rambo was throwing up so much I had to take him to the ER before we could get him to stop, thank you to my sweet friend Kristen for coming to our rescue at 2 in the morning Sunday morning! I stayed up all night Saturday, took the kids to church on Sunday so Rambo could have a quiet house, and by Sunday night I was throwing up the evil turkey...man oh man. I'm just glad it took turns with us so we could take care of each other, I was okay for Rambo and then he was okay to take care of me. We were truly pathetic, and now back to life!

Just a good old story...

So the other day I had to go shopping for some unmentionables...okay, a bra and, yippie for me, I got to take all the kids with me! So we go to "the section" and I'm just sort of glancing over things (I hate doing this with my 7 year old son) when suddenly London says, "Ethan!!!....There's boobies everywhere!!!"

She then proceeded the play all the bras like bongos.

Oh yeah, right there in the store, she's such a gem. She better just wait cuz one day I'll be bra shopping with her! Bwah ha ha ha (evil laugh).

And there you have it!

Life gets away from me sometimes...

What a summer it has been! We really haven't done anything super cool, we stayed within the state limits of Idaho, but that doesn't mean my kids didn't have a great dang time.

Tink can make a party out of pretty much anything, this particular day was just a day to Costco, aaahhh but the box-the box is an adventure in and of itself.
Tink also decided she would like to be a diver this summer, we had many deep sea diving adventures in our bathtub and in our blow-up pool in the backyard. Oh, and once, we even went to the big big pool at Nana's with our scuba gear. A visit to the doctor's office is nothing to smirk at, not when he has a rolling chair and takes a long time to come in and shoot your baby sister...think about it.

Did we have to even go to the zoo?? No siree, we have goat puppets and Stripes the monkey all at our disposal. Tink and the goat puppet talked long into the night before they both passed out from sheer exhaustion.
"Yeehaw! Let's do some trick-or-treatin'!"

"Oh, but Aubrey will need her sunglasses since this is a day-time trick-or-treating. "

Of course she will.
This pic is for Uncle Nate and Aunt Marisa, they gave us this cute little onesie, but I'm sure Smalls will be a huge fan of Pearl Jam.

More backyard fun, here are some kung fu moves from my children.

Consider yourselves warned.

This little one just takes my breath away, is she not just beautiful???

She has only a few precious months left before she joins ranks with these 2 yahoos. Just the thought of it brings tears to my eyes.

This picture melts my heart.

Smalls 6 month pictures.

I think it looks like a delicious foot, don't you?

Look at that little dimple! What will I ever do when this little one is not little anymore!?!?

BACK TO SCHOOL!

It's true, school has begun here in Meridian Idaho. Look at this Kermit of mine, he is in 2nd grade this year, doesn't he look refined and distinguished the way a 2nd grader should?

Sunday night we were getting his clothes out to be all ready for the morning and when I asked Kermit if there was anything he wanted to wear he said, "Mom, I just really want to look cool-y'know like the kids in the Sears commercials!"

Seriously.....Sears? Come on....of all the stores he could have said.......Sears?

The kid cracks me up.

And last but refusing to ever be least, we have Tink who began preschool today at Busy Bee's preschool, she had the best time with all the "cute kids".

She took a cookie to her teacher this morning and gave her a big hug, she was so excited to be starting school, but she thinks it really stinks that the big school bus doesn't come get her yet. That's okay though, she will let mom take her to school I guess.

We walked in the door and this girl could not stop jumping up and down, she had the best time and wants to go back right now! I'm totally okay with that, but I'm not sure how Miss Janet feels.

We had a super fun summer, we really didn't do much, but I discovered I really didn't have to do much, we had such a good time just being together and hanging out. I love my kids, but I'm not gonna lie, I love having them in school, they like each other a lot better now too-now that they're not spending every waking hour together.

Phew!
