Passing time with Pictures

First of all, Thank you all for updating your blogs so I have something to do other than re- reading Family Fun and Parent Magazines. Those magazines remind me that I am not a crafty Mom.

I am very tired and kindda feeling blue.
Thought I'd post some pictures to get me out of the funk, while we wait........................for test results for Benjamin....................................................


Andrew helping me can grape jelly. He has my canning rings on his arm helping him "make muscles." Yes new day. Nope-no clothes.

Emma caught in the act of tumbling off my furniture.
Seth is a computer junkie at the age of 9.
For Alex's Birthday we covered his bedroom door with paper and filled it with balloons. Then we woke him up telling him that his friends was here. He was shocked by the balloons pouring into his room and had to burst through the paper. If my camera was faster I would have gotten a pix of that. Here is the finished product that the kids made.He then demanded breakfast ( I was ready).

After all that- his energy was waning...Heck it WAS before noon on a Saturday- so he had to go lay back down to rest while he opened presents. On Sunday, we had a family dinner as he requested. I offered a party, but he didn't want a" big deal" Hmmmmm.

Ben wanted to help me sweep, but couldn't use my broom. He went and got Alex's LAX short stick to help me.

Andrew's first haircut that didn't make him look like he had been captured by the enemy( meaning his mom didn't do it). He has clothes on but as soon as we got to the car- took off his itchy shirt. Then his legs needed to be free, which reminded him he didn't need socks or shoes in the car. If you give a Mouse a Cookie, he just might want to take his clothes off.
Picture of me and Ben, taken by Emma with my cell. Me helping her remove her finger from the lens. Proof of why I am not in any pictures.

We had a storm this past weekend, we got 15.7 inches of snow. We lost power for a while at home( Not atwork though). Times like this show us how prepared we really are- or aren't.

There were a lot of accidents and we happened upon a slow plow that was working so hard that it caught on fireThen came the ice. This is our sunshine atena topper after being in our garage for 30 mins or more.

Family Home Evening at the YMCA.
Benjamin attacking Emma to give her a blow fish at FHE.
Well that is probably enough for all of you to look at. I have probably bored you to tears, but I am still waiting.............................................................
