More funny things

So I had just got home from the store and was having the kids help me put stuff away, when Madi came over to tattle on Ainsley for getting into something she shouldn't have. This would be my new foundation that I just bought, making a point to capture moments in the midst of anger is definitely a good thing. It makes you see the humor in situations instead of focusing on the bad and calms me down quicker. I'll have to keep that camera around my neck for it to work effectively all day(sigh);) And this next pic, Ash had found outside on the swingset a couple months ago.
This picture makes it hard to read, these are the official Lava Monster Rules written by Prestin Farley.

Lova Monster stay on the gass(grass)evryone else runs away sit on a swing clim on the later(latter)to stay safe if the Lova Monster tags you your it.

Too funny! We got free movie tickets to go see "Paranormal Activity" tonight. I'm so excited, I love scary movies! I'll let you know how it was.

Decorations for Fall

Here's just some stuff that I've done around the house for Fall.
Notice the little black frame and the silver frame. I got them at a garage sale, the black one was a $1.00 and the silver one was only .25 cents. The little roll top desk they're on was only $15.00 and I'm in the process of painting it black. I love garage sales!!


And yes the white frame on top of the cabinet still has the original picture in it from when I bought it. I actually have a couple frames like that, and I get made fun of often.

Here's my pumpkins!!
A little hard to see, a cool looking spiderweb out back.

Funny things

So I'm doing this more for myself than anything, I want to record these memories before I forget. But I thought you might enjoy these funny things my kids say as well. This conversation happened last week, we had been talking about a friend of ours who had some chickens that were killed by a coyote(very sad).

Madi: I don't want to go over there because the wolves(Madi calls coyotes wolves) might eat me because we're made out of meat!

Avery: We're not made out of meat, that's silly Madi we're made out of chicken!


The same day Madi was talking about Heaven and Hell.

Madi: I don't want to go to Hell Mommy! When I die am I gonna go to Heaven?

Mommy: Yes

Madi: (Long pause while contemplating) Mommy I don't want to go to Heaven I want to go to Chuck E. Cheese!

WARNING! GRAFFIC CONTENT

So in the eight years that I have been a mother I thought I had experienced it all by way of bodily fluids. I was soooooooooooo wrong........













Yes that is poop sprayed all over my walls and floor! Sweet little Sadie had not gone number 2 since Friday, so last night I gave her half a dropper full of prune juice to get things flowing. As I held her, cradling her little bum in my hand she let out a huge grunt and poop squirted out the side of her diaper. And I'm talking full force super soaker blast! This girl has given me a run for my money regarding poop stories. It's all cleaned up now and things smell fresh again. Ahh, never a dull moment in this house. And just now Ainsley has informed me that she is stinky, yay:(

Alyssa's Ultimate Fantasy

I meant to post this a while ago, but a bunch of excuses later here I am now just writing about it. My friend Alyssa's birthday was a few weeks ago, she has this charming obsession with tissue paper. Hey we all have one obsession or another(I have quite a few). At parties or showers of any sort she will neatly fold all the tissue paper from each persons gift so they can reuse it later. My friend Lyndie came up with an awesome idea to surprise her on her birthday. So me, Lyndie and our friend Jennifer gathered all the tissue paper we had to do this...
Sorry Alyssa I had to
You know you're loved when your friends go to so much trouble to fill your car full of tissue paper and set off two car alarms in the church parking lot during service. We love you Alyssa and hope your birthday was special!

Avery's Birthday

So our sweet little girl turned five on Monday. She wanted her haircut, so on her birthday I took her to get it done. I searched around for places that had prices for kid's cuts and after calling a few places found that I wasn't going to pay any less than $25.00. I'm sorry but for a child's haircut that just seemed outrageous to me so I found this cosmetology school that only charged five bucks! I was so excited(hey with six kids these types of things excite you) so we loaded up and went down there. It turned out so adorable and she absolutely loves it. She might be getting a slight ego as well, because she constantly wants to look in the mirror and she says she looks soooo cute! But all in all we'll let her have her moment to shine and then nip it in the butt if it gets out of hand,lol. So anyways she's super excited to be five, she's been telling everyone including Sadie.


She is loving Pre-K, she is learning a lot. For her birthday she got to bring in a special treat(cupcakes of course) and she was the "star of the day" which means you get to bring something for show and tell. My friend Kayla who works at the preschool snapped these pics of her(thanks Kayla).
Avery and her teacher Miss Amy

We just had a family party at home and had a pretty little cake for her.A sweet little party for a sweet little girl, Happy Birthday Baby doll! We love you!

Take a look at what my friend Alyssa did for me on Monday! Aren't they so precious, she truly has a gift for photography. And I'm so excited she used Sadie as her model. If you'd like to see the rest of her pics take a look at her lovely blog http://www.talleyfam.blogspot.com/2009/09/scrumptious-sadie-lynn.html
Thank you Alyssa, I love you!
