In the interest of full disclosure


I give you Me, in all of my infinate glory (ok maybe not glorious but there is becomming infinatly more of me over time) these are from last weekend when we took our first outing to Chili's as a family of 6, it was fun, Ellie did really well and charmed everyone and Mitchell ate off of the adult menu and ate all of his food, man he's getting big.

our saturday in pictures








Well here you will find Big Daddy doing his bi-weekly oil change, bi weekly is too often you say, well our big daddy DRIVES. ALOT! he works hard and so does his truck.




In a stunning display of crappy motherhood below you will find mitchell wrapping birthday gifts (its april by the way) for his friends in Christmas wrap. i know that i have birthday wrap but it has dissapeared into the abbys some might call a garage. But he had fun at the party and no one even noticed.






Kyleigh and Connor so wanted to go in the pool, it wa hot enough outside (i think the high was 101 or so) but the water in the pool was BURR cold. they came out 40 minuites later with blue lips.



Ellie found herself doing yet more
manual labor. she volinteered i swear. mom was cleaning the fence (the dogs like to pee on it, sweet aint they) and Ellie decided it looked like fun. this was followed by an odd ritual of filling the bucket with water, putting her feet in the bucket them dunking her head in the bucket, then shed dump out the bucket and start all over. she is an odd duck but such a great kid.
you will notice a distinct lack of pics of me, well im not stupid enough to let anyone take my picture when im cleaning house, it just aint pretty ya'll

Friday Fun

I know I know this is a pittiful picture but please before you turn away take note of the obvious remnants of the BLOOD DRAW FROM HE double hockey sticks!!!! friday my little Ellie had the pleasure of having 9 yes i said NINE vials of bllod drawn by the lovely vampires at the lab. The had to stick her twice, and boy howdy she didn't like it. She is being tested for everything under the sun. since she's already been diagnosed with a staff infection and is being treated to get rid of some, uhm, little friends she brought home with her from China. Fun Fun Fun.

EASTER FUN!!!


Monday morning She was dissapointed to find that there were no eggs on the lawn!!!

ok so i suck

well ok so i havn't posted since we got home. thats mostly because i dont think anyone reads this but im going to do better because i need the outlet.

so were home, adjusting well, screaming alot, sleeping well,screaming some more,eating alot (not a vegi will pass ellies lips though,atleast not with out passing them again on the way out) doing generally well. the big kids seem to be enjoying having a little person around. atleast they have someone to blame when something gets broken, moved,crushed,eaten etc. and they are learning quickley that if they like something they need to put it up HIGH or its toast.
I have forgotten how active toddlers are. this little girl is kickin my butt. she needs to be entertained every second of the day. there is no electronic babysitter, she could care less for the boob tube. Ugh no showers for me, unless of course mom is home (thank God for Grandma, she ROCKS!!)
