Will NOT Travel

OK. Traveling with 5 kids alone? No problem. Flying on an airplane? We can do it. Renting a car and driving the rest of the way? Totally Do-able! Doing this without Lexsie's Lovie? Impossible! I won't go! I can't imagine where it is! Wish me luck!!!!!!

Living Dinosaur

I'm talking with Anna tonight about turning 7, and that in a year she would be getting baptized. She asked me, "back in the old days when you were baptized was it the same?" To which I started laughing and asked, 'do you think I'm old?' and she says, 'well your closer to the dinosaurs than I am..." Yes, my Anna I am about 25 years closer to prehistoric than you.

I finally got Anna and Bekah's B-Day pictures taken. They turned out pretty cute. The photographer worked and worked to get Anna to smile. Anna is 0ne hard nut to crack! I finally had to pull out all the guns and tell her we were going to have green beans for dinner if she didn't smile! That seemed to be threat enough. No grean beans for her! Of course we had to convince Bekah to stop posing. We had enough pictures! (and the family one turned out pretty good too!)

Anna just comes up to me and asks, "The next time daddy doesn't have to work the whole day and the whole night can I use his lunch box?" How sad, that the poor man never has 24 entire hours off, and that the kids know it... Along those lines - Craig and I were going over this months calender and we were caught saying, "how bout this day - you only work a half day." Uh that half day was still an 8 hour shift. We did have a good chuckle as we realized what we had just said and how warped our life is right now.

Do I need Medication?

Yes, my kids all have a color. Everything they own is in that color. When I see the 5 colors of something I can't resist! Just so you all understand how obsessed I am.

Beks is blue

Anna is pink

Kaid is green

Quinn is orange

Lex is purple

In fact, the other day I was asking Quinn his colors and this is what I got.

Then I just couldn't resist pumpkins in all the right colors!
