Hair Despair!

Ashley made a house call today and cut my boys' hair. One was an angel, and the other...Well, the pictures say it all! Maverick was grasping at the cut hair on the ground and yelling, "I want my hair back on! Put it on!" So sad. Ashley and I had big plans for a trendy, fun cut for him, but he wouldn't have any of it, so I basically held him down while she buzzed. I'm sorry, Buddy!

Hide-N- Sneak!

The other day Buddy (Maverick), and I had an argument over the issue of being hungry just five minutes after I had made him a turkey sandwich that he only took two bites out of.

Now back up an hour. I made Mallory a sandwich to take to school that morning, but she decided she didn't like my mom's homemade, blackberry jam because it has the seeds in it. I had left the bagged sandwich on the counter and moved on (irritated).

Now back to Buddy. I left the room after telling him I was not going to make him toast when I just made him a sandwich.

Okay, so I left the room, and when I returned the boy and the sandwich were missing. I saw the empty Ziploc bag on the counter, so I knew he was hiding somewhere eating, and since it was quiet I decided to shower. When I got out of the shower he was still quiet, and this is not normal. I started to panic thinking he might have choked. I was calling for him, and there was no response.

It took twenty minutes, but I did find him, and this is what I found!


He was behind the curtain! Sleeping!

Fraggle?

I know I'm showing my age, but does this kid look like a human x fraggle hybrid? He woke up this way! I swear it! Ask Bob! He took the picture! I had done a cradle cap treatment on him earlier, and this is what he woke up looking like!

My Mini Men!

I love when my kids do things they see adults do. We were fortunate enough to catch these two acts on camera.

Blame It On The Rain!

It rained in Yuma! Once it finally made it down to us in the valley it only lasted about five minutes, but you bet we were out acting like a bunch of nutballs! We enjoyed every moist minute!

First Day Back!

Today is the first day of school! Yeah! Sydney starts 5th grade today (PE today), and Mallory begins 2nd grade! We all have been looking forward to today. I'm ready to get them busy again, and they were starting to get bored. Side note-I think the book Bob and I are reading has something to do with their level of boredom.

Breaking Sabra!

This book is ruling this house! This time around Bobby had to have his own copy, so we are both frantically reading, and you know how things go in the meantime! If they (meaning the kids) would just leave me alone I could finish and things could return to normalcy! Don't they get it?

This book is causing me to break all my own rules. I haven't done dishes. I haven't folded laundry. I haven't done much of anything, but if you know my home life...You know I keep up on laundry and dishes above all else. Stephenie Meyers could have titled this book "Breaking Homes."

Family Vacation!

Sydney was one the last time we went on a family vacation. Just about ten years later we were offered a share of my grandpa's timeshare, so we jumped on the opportunity. We had a beautiful place to stay right on the beach in Oceanside. I had grandious ideas of how great this vacation was going to be. It was great, but it was no "vacation." Nobody warned me until it was too late! I associate the word "vacation" with rest and relaxation. There was none of that on this trip! I've decided we need to come up with another word/term/phrase for "family vacation." Ideas?
