Summer Favorites: Silly

The kids making their scariest faces two weeks ago.
Pretty cute villains, huh?!

Lydia's drawings named: Scary Cat and Mean Dog. I'll say!

These are pictures from a night when we all just randomly started
making funny faces at each other during dinner.
I'm not sure how much food we actually ate.

As Ethan was learning to crawl, one of my favorite things he would do is strike
random "yoga" poses and just hold them. Gotta admire his strength!

These pictures bring a smile to my face every time I see them. I love random, silly moments of
life. They help bring perspective to the more stressful side of life!

The Jury Is Still Out....

A few weeks ago when the weather was crummy I took the kids to the mall to get rid of some pent-up energy. There happened to be a Mom's event with several air filled jumping "houses" (what ARE those things called?) for the kids- which, unfortunately, proved to be absolutely terrifying for my kids. While there I happened to put my name into a drawing for a $50 gift basket from J.C. Penney salon. And guess who won? I could barely believe it! The basket had several Big, Sexy Hair care products and a bright red nail polish from O.P.I. Lots of fun!!!

Recently I've been wondering if Lydia has been secretly helping herself to my Big, Sexy Hair products. I've been collecting evidence to support my theory. What do you think?

For the Love of all Things Electronic

• One oscillating fan
• one Ipod charger
• one extension cord
• two table lamps
• one CD player playing a favorite tune
• one alarm clock
• One little boy happily air drumming into the morning light.

(I sat down for a moment to catch up on some blogs this morning and the above scene is how I found him. He is so content right now surrounded by all these electronics... he tells me, "this is fun!" We can always clean up later!)
