Confessions

I have a confession to make..... I am borderline addicted to ice cream. I love It . Truly Madly Deeply Adore It. I am basically stalk It. I think I should quit it but It completes me and my belly............ Oh, and this guy has one freakishly long tongue , hello Gene Simmons.

have duct tape will travel

Sometimes all ya need is a duct tape beard to feel awesome . It's waaay cooler than a goatee but about even with an ole timey stache' ( as far as adhesive facial hair goes).

Post It Face LIves!!!!!

Just when Meat Hand mysteriously disappeared another hideously deformed creature made his debut.... The Post It Face Monster!!!! Who knew that something so useful like non-permanent glue backed pieces of paper could be so grotesque? Hide your office supplies, petty cash and especially inter-office memos (the ones about old food in the fridge and the birthday comitee are particularly anger inducing ) he could strike at any time! Consider Yourself Warned ......

Personal Space

Firstly - check out my cute #1 and #4 - Secondly I would like to say that most people have phobias ,quirks, and or a general dislike for face grease swapping that may make a face to face smoosh like this uncomfortable.I don't think that idiosyncrasy shows itself in children until at least the tween years. My kids like to be ALL up in my bidness' . We live in a constant smoosh fest. I have a few kids who would like nothing more than to press their whole body against mine for a full night of sweaty sleepy time. One daughter thinks secret telling means holding your whole face and breathing heavily into your ear( I know a couple different names for that). I guess it doesn't really bug me except when I need good sleep or a little bit of a flesh pressing break. They aren't always going to want to be all over my lap or to have me rub their back or tell me elaborate reasons why the jokers minions should have jackets of a different shade of purple.I need to embrace ( literally and figuratively ) the chances I've got to pile all together on the couch and force them to watch old movies, have scared half asleep kids suffocate me in my sleep and hug it out when they are grouchy at me for any reason at all.

Sunday with the Fam'

This is what happens when we drive to Glamma and Grampa Fabulous' house - every Sunday we pile in the car and the kids who havent enjoyed a siesta before the trek pass out in the warm car. Xander uses his super human stay-awake powers to draw all the way there. I love listenin' to Wait Wait Dont Tell Me ( my fave news /quiz/ joke show on NPR ) and Kevz likes it too (even though he acts like its waaay to liberal for him -yes, he's my not so closet conservative) . We try to guess the answers to the Quiz and the kids drool away till we reach their fave place for some fine chow last night it was- salmon with lime and butter, steamed veggies ,lovely salad with feta and avocado , fresh summer fruits and for dessert a little (lets face it a big ol' slab) pound cake with fresh whipped cream and sweetened strawberries I would like to see Martha do any better . We have a wonderful time seeing cousins and Aunties and Uncles and of course the Glammz laughing and wrangling the kids. I love Sundays . I Love them more with my whole fam'. What do you like about Sundays?

Cousins Gotta Hug!

Xander and Blue a Dynamic Duo.

These two have a love for all things Super Hero and an unflinching resolve to be best buddies forever.This pair likes to draw, play sports and think of ways to get my sister and I to let them spend the night. They have already planned to be roomies in college and enjoy manly times hiking and playing together.Blue is a gifted chess player and QB and Xander is an amazing artist and has a love for football as well . They are each lucky to have such a devoted wing man.
