Since I have no other way to say it, this is what we've been up to.
This beaut was $12 on KSL, it took me forever to sand (it was disgusting), I then primed it, 3 coats later it was ready for paint. Three paint coats later it was way too white, so I did a glazing technique on it. I think it is perfect and with the exception of what to put above it, the corner of the hall makes me smile and I often find myself staring at it (kind of like people do when they walk past glass or mirrors and they try to look like they aren't looking at themselves but they really are.)
This pic makes me laugh because little Marley is 3 and Grady is 9 months and they are almost the same size. But we spend a lot of time in our jammies, I don't know how Mom's find time to shower and get ready and have 3 kids. Anyway I haven't figured it out yet and if you see me in a hat 2-3 times a week you know why.
Isn't that a sweet face. Besides the fact that the little man still won't eat solids at any regular juncture, he is so cute and sweet. He was 8 months old in this pic, what a chunk. He's a roller and can't get enough of me, the kid is glued to my hip 70% of the day, which seems sweet sometimes but most of the time my arm and hip just hurt. But who could honestly resist that cute kid.
This was the big day. Garrick's first day of Kindergarten. He loves it and even asked Mrs. Graham on the first day if she was the best teacher ever, because someone at church told him she was. Like a normal kid he loves recess and show and tell. My favorite thing Garrick has done lately which has nothing to do with school was. . . We were at IKEA and waiting in line for free kids meals and we had already shopped and he was tired. He asked why we were standing there. I told him "We are all in line waiting to eat." (something like that) I looked around for a minute and looked back at him and he was crying. I asked what was wrong. "I don't want to eat LIMES they don't taste good." The mother in me hugged him and explained that we were in a line. The lover of Junie B. Jones in me Laughed so hard.
What are you up to?

Junie B. Jones is my absolute favorite. I've read them all many times to my kids this last year. I'd never read them and now am sad that I didn't enjoy them as a child! We own every single one and will read them many times over throughout the course of my kids and grandkids lives! I LOVE your book shelf!!!
I know how you feel and I only have 2 kids! I hardly ever do my hair anymore, I always just pull it back. And we sometimes don't get dressed until Curt calls us on his way home from work, so when he gets home we are dressed and it looks like we've been dressed all day! There are many days though lately that the kids are in their pj's until it's time to change pj's for bed.
Your kids are getting so big and they are sure cute. We miss you guys.
