Today is the day...
MoViNg DaY...
I moved into my very own office complete with a wall of windows and.....DrUm RoLl PlEaSe.....A DOOR!
Woot! Finally I feel like my "Operations Manager" title.
It's so hard being the youngest of four siblings.
Ethan is normally one of two things, either super quiet observing things or super loud being the center of attention.
His moods depend of three things. Christian, Madyson and Makenna.
Ethan is usually Makenna's shadow, so I should have questioned WHY Madyson had him in her room "playing" for over an hour.
Why? Hum, well apparently he is the perfect life size human doll.
We dogsat (again) for my parents. This time for 9 Looonnnnggg days.
Sasha and Tiffany like coming over, but I'm pretty sure they don't like being carried around constantly, being pushed in a stroller, being dressed up in doll clothes or being terrorized every time they sit down by the littlest boy.
Over the weekend I rounded the corner to go into the living room to look for them when I saw this.
Then I realized, wait the white furry things are in there...
It occured to me to lock all four of them up and leave them in there, but before I could Ethan was DONE.
He promptly exited the dog cage and tried to lock Makenna and the puppies in there.
A Newborn's Conversation with God
A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but
how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your
angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'
The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do
anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing
for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and
be very happy.' Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to
understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said,
'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,
and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'
'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your
angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'
'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it
means risking its life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you
anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could
be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please
tell me my angel's name.'
God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'
Is it possible that my Neice and nephews are old enough for PrOm?!? Crap, I feel old....but not as old as my Brother and Sister, you guys are seriously old to have children going to prom. (It's fantastic to be the little sister, love you guys)
So two weeks ago my Nephew, Taylor and his buddy got dressed up in the "Zoot suites" and headed to prom. This kid has the best personality, you seriously have to know him to understand how he could pull such a thing off.
Apparently his date had a good personality to go along with this. She looked beautiful.
My oldest Nephew, Michael, decided to ditch Prom this year, but somehow my Sister managed to get a photo of the two boys together. Aren't they a handsome pair?
Then this past weekend my Neice, Vanessa also went to prom. Her Nana made cookies in honor of the big event.
I did her hair. I think she liked it? It was suppose to look like a photo she saw of Taylor Swift.
Her and her boyfriend looked so cute together in their hot pink formal wear.
Maddy was loving this whole "Prom" thing, she absorbed the idea and got a fancy new dress, Aunt Roxanne did her hair and makeup and she painted her toes hot pink in honor of Nessa.
Aside from getting all dolled up, she also enjoyed the punch and yummy cookies from Nana Linda.
Went to a party at Michelle's house with Roxanne and bought way to much. Ate some yummy shrimp, avacado, mango salad....YUM...
I was dubbed the hair stylest for the day and did Vanessa's hair for prom. She found a photo of Taylor Swift in Peope Magazine and I attempted to copy it. She looked beautiful!
Got a phone call from a friends Mom who suggested she fly to Casa De Williams for her birthday in 3 weeks. I may need to start a count down!
Ryan and I went to dinner and a bar with a new group of friends. It was great conversation and much needed adult night out! Eric and Roxanne were able to joing us in between shuffling kids to and from prom.
This morning we slept in and then made a big breakfest. Afterwords, Kenna and I went to the grocery store and Ryan cleaned up. I planted some new flowers in the front yard. Ryan finished his term paper and his speech.
Tonight we're gonna hang out do Chili with Brayton and Gillian here at the house.
After reading Tamzen's blog, I decided to do my own virtual tour of our home in surburbia.
It's comfortable and extremely kid friendly. My decorating taste is summed up in one word...
COLOR
So let the tour begin.
A weeks worth of cleaning out rooms and prepping for a yard sale.
Get up and sit in the driveway at 6:00a.m. until 1:00p.m.
Pack up the remaining items and drive them to the local Thrift store.
Make $191.00 dollars.
Walk 4 houses down and spend $200.00 at their yard sale.
Our find?
Yep a Thomas the Train table with tons of tracks and somewhere on the upside of 30 plus trains. This will be what I like to call "free babysitting" of two little people for many hours.....
Last week I wrote how I shaved my husbands big head and then promptly forgot to post any pictures. So here you go. Pretty good looking if I do say so myself!
(Mom, I know your gonna hate this. Judy sure did. She was over visiting the night I did it)
Never a dull quiet car ride in our family. This morning we went to pick up the trailer to get it ready for next weekends camping trip. While in route the chicklings were all telling jokes. Yep no radio necessary with our clan.
Ethan kept saying, "Mommy, Knock Knock?" and when I would reply, "Who's there?" He would giggle and say, "Mommy, Knock Knock?", over and over again. While this continuous Knock Knock job outplayed with no ending, Makenna says, "I got a funny one". "Your mama's so ugly she made the onions cry".
We all laughed, especially Ryan. I can't seem to warm up to "your mama" jokes. Questions is...if she's this sassy at 3, what will 13 and every dreaded age there after be like?
