kids!

I am way behind on blogging. Some of you may be wondering if I even took any pictures at Halloween. The answer is yes; as much as I would like to sit here all day and tell you about my wonderful life with my three amazing children and my handsome husband I do still have a house to run.

I know that traditionally on Halloween kids sometimes do naughty things but really, starting at four and two is a little early.It was a little too quite in the house so I went to investigate. I found out the kids had reached up onto the counter and were eating candy bars threw the wrapper.

Earlier in the day Kati came to tell me Brendon was squeezing the honey. That was a full bottle y'all.

And here, Bear decided to carve the pumpkin again, poor guy is now missing part of his head

How hard could it be to get all six kids looking and smiling in the same direction?

You will just have to ignore that I messed this post up. If you want to see the pictures bigger you will need to click on them.

A kinder person would have just asked

Idiots, why would you say something so rude!

While at the store today I overheard two people talking about Timbo.
"Maybe she dropped him"
"Maybe she ran over him with the car"

I looked over to see the two people shaking their heads at me in disgust. From that moment on I felt like every eye in the store was on me, judging me as a mother. I was too taken aback to say anything to the couple but deeply offended.

I should have just made a comment about his mullet but I'm to kind for that (but not so mature that I can't mention it here). It's not the 80's anymore buddy!

Flashback Friday

This month will make seven years of marriage.......Sadly I can not tell you about the first time we met. It was so awe inspiring neither one of us can remember it. We can remember that at the very beginning we didn't really like another. Here is what I can tell you........

I was sitting in my best friends bedroom doing what any normal American teenager does, absolutely nothing. I am sure Jenny and I were sitting around listening to music and gossiping about some girl when her mom brought us some mail. You see our church was without a pastor and they were bringing someone in view of a call, not very interesting things to a couple of fourteen year old girls. That is until we got further along in the letter to find out that this family had five boys, five. Oh man were we ever excited, Jenny and I were a little boy crazy; I believe my exact word were "Yes, fresh meat!" a little embarrassing to admit but true. Little did we know that in just four short years I would be marrying one of those boys and thus making myself the happiest woman in the world.

Ya know, now that I think about it it's only fitting that I can't remember the first time we met. For me it feels like "Jeffie" has always been a part of my life, a part of me. He was always there with a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear and of course with some joke to cheer me up. He listened to all my stories about kids from work. I knew he was really listening because just by hearing the antics in the story he could tell which kid I was talking about. We could go weeks without talking to one another but slip right back into being us like we had only been apart long enough to get a drink, a Dr Pepper in Jeff's case. He was the one I needed to call when the world seemed unfair, the computer was broken ;) or when I got lost on a rainy night buying shoes to go to Prom with another boy, the one to go with me the day I chased old ghost. He was my Jeff, my everything, I just hadn't let myself know it yet.

Man am I going to have my hands full

Kati is only four but I can tell already that I am in for a long road when she hits her teen years. Bear woke up from nap which always makes her mad because she then has to share me. She was being completely rude to Bear so I sent her to her room. After a while she began to scream profane things, well profane for a four year old. Here is just a little bit.......
