I can't make this stuff up

I've officially given up with O's clothes.  I've never been one to argue much on my kids clothes choices.  As long as they are modest and clean and relatively free of holes I'm good.  I do however give a gentle reminder on the mornings when they pick something that does not match, something like, "Just so you know that outfit does not match".  Then I let them choose if they will change or not.  Well I'm done!  I'm not going to mention to O that anything is mismatched because I figure after 8 years of telling her she should have a good idea about what does and does not match.  Frankly I think she does not care, so why should I?  I can't argue with her sense of style anymore...case-in-point:

This is how here hair was done yesterday.  Yes, I did it but that's how she wanted it, no, it was not wacky hair day at school.

 Front view of the same style:

This is how she went to school today.  We were doing so well until we hit those tights!  Actually they are thigh-high socks.  He theory was that if she got hot she could roll them down...that's MUCH better...NOT!
need I say more?

My two middle children were so jealous the other day that we all were playing a fishing game on our iPod's C went and made them their own iPod's out of cardboard.  Complete with the fishing game on the screen.

Biker Babies!

Here is L snacking under a table.  He has loved sitting in this table since he was really little, I think it feels like a fort!

This summer while garage sale-ing Chris picked up one of those spotlights that has holiday/season discs in it that you can project onto your house/garage.  It's something he's been wanting for a long time, he's an easy man to please!  This is the first holiday we have tried it out and the kids think it's awesome.

K givin' the witch a kiss.

C pickin' her nose.
I think that pretty much catches you up with what we've been doing.  Not much of anything to be excited about.  I have a ton of house projects I would like to get done and am plunking away at them one by one.  Hopefully some day this house will be exactly how we want it, then we'll have to move!

HA - revenge of the big flower! It was a good idea just one that went way wrong!!!
We are going through that with James - not the flower but the clothes. every day this week he has woke up before me and got himself dressed. he always chooses really bad combos that are not weather appropriate. then he screams when i make him change and i have to drag him out of his hiding place and force him to change. it is a lot of fun!

I used to worry, worry, worry about Matthew's clothes . . . "What will the teacher think?" "What will other people think?" Now I'm like . . . at least he's wearing clothes. I have so gotten over it. I call it his "creative" period.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
