Have Chopsticks Will Travel

What is better than an animated Jack Black movie with the ancient art of Kung Fu, super awesome villain( the dad from Hot Rod), and my fave dance song of all time(Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting-built in karate dance moves!!!) as the theme song, and David Cross as a Crane ?Well my movie mavens throw in some chopsticks for popcorn grazing and you've got yourself a partay!

GET YER SWIM ON!!!!!

We had a Fun Swim Luau Party at our O.g's yesterday (hot dogs , hamburgers, leis, decorations-the works!) Xander got to help pick the food and decor with O.G .Every single kid ate and swam and had a great time! Auntie Mel helped and Uncle Dave cooked(he makes a mean hot dog!). I am super lucky to have a wonderful Gramma OG and Auntie Mel who live nearby!I am apt to get a little teary when I think how awesome it is to have my family be such a big part of my life!My kids are lucky to have best buddies as cousins! It is truly a blessing for us to have so many people that love us!! Thankyou OG Auntie Mel and Uncle Dave!!

Slip Slidin' Away

A lovely evening at the park that included balmy pre-eyescorching weather,5 kids who were happy to have the playground as their um, playground and I (free activity loving mother)was very content to leave with only 1 bloody nose ,a few scrapes , 2 desperate potty seakers and some cute pics of the lot of them. 'Aint Summer Grand!

Crazy Remi!

Check out my big girl Remi shes taking direction from our budding photog Nash-I guess he said open your mouth and mess up your hair!

Hazardous Haberdashery

Today just 25 minutes ago I heard a yell -not a little scream but a grown man freak out yell - it was brief then was followed by a baby cry -loud one.I was like 'Its not even 9:00 yet whats with all the yelping?' then (since I have super senses) I realized that Kevin was hurt.I ran down the hall to see a lonely hat in the hall way and Kev said a SCORPION bit him on the head -it was IN his hat! The baby was crawlin' around his feet while he was brushing his teeth and putting the finishing touches on his outfit (i.e. the hat). I scooped up the baby and put her in her jail(crib) and that was as bad as a scorpion bite to her. Kev' wants me to write that he was very brave and then took the 'baseball cap of danger' outside with the evil scorpion in it to meet its maker. Kevin is fine and so is baby Sloan and I doubt that this experience will deter him from head coverings but it may make him check inside before donning it.

All Aboard ....

P.S Ive got a cute and funny 3 year old who will sit while I braid her hair -Which she has stopped trimming herself (I think she wants to look like Miley Cyrus -is that good or bad?) so the mullet train has thankfully left the station.Unfortunately the makeup wearing bra wanting one has arrived.Heaven help me.
