Every year I try not to mention it, so Dave stays blissfully unaware. Usually for a week or two prior, I know what I want to do & I’m bursting at the seams to tell people. This year wasn’t quite as good as the year I had him take a kitty litter cake to work, but I still had lots of fun planning and putting together the day.
Broom Stands On Handle
March 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment
We’ve been seeing all the brooms standing alone on it’s bristles. We knew our broom was better than that. We found the perfect gravity center was in front of the fireplace on the marble. Apparently the wood floor had too much residual energy from people walking on it with all of their various karmic levels. We did this at night, when the moon was high to take advantage of it gravitonal forces on the tides. We also give thanks to the current solar flares and their magnetic charged particles for making our broom enjoy it’s majestic standing splendor.
Valentines Day 2012

This Valentine’s day Bella was off doing whatever preteens do. Luckily I have Liza coming up in the ranks and she was thrilled to be the assistant chef for the day. (she did get tired of the stirring though) I would also like to point out that her outfit was her complete choosing. I don’t have some weird & wacky dress code for my kitchen.
This Week I Noticed a Funny Thing

So, this week we tried to get a picture of all 5 kids in front of the tree. Seemed like a good idea, right? It wasn’t until I saw the photos later that I’d realized they’ve grown so much that all you see is part of a tree sticking up behind their heads. Now, I can see if there were horns or something on their heads, but a tree, not so good.

First: you need the red velvet dress (or suit) that matches Santa. Then you need to break the first rule you ever taught your children. Stranger Danger? What?? Not in December!

Ok, so I was just wishing for that last part! Why is Christmas so freakin hectic! We went to the light show in O’Fallon park and it was pretty cool….
Thanksgiving: Is Ours more screwed up than yours?
December 1, 2011 By 1 Comment
So, we went to Memphis to see Dave’s family over an extended holiday for Thanksgiving. The odd part? I like them all. I do. But I feel so out of my element in big family type situations. I don’t have that. It just feels weird to me but I hope my children grow up loving it and maybe I’ll get into the swing of it as time goes on. Even the dogs come to the family gatherings. Josie had Marley and Shelby to romp around with in the back yard. Seems idilic, right? And it was. Just to me it was…. foreign. I consider myself lucky that my husbands family places such a role on family time. I think this is the multigenerational bond that children need to become self aware adults.
