A Plague Upon our House!

Yup, we've been sick - epic sick, the kind where you want to die - sick, the entire month of February SICK!

We started off slow, with an misdiagnosed ingrown toenail for Skyler (stupid clinic doctor said it was a blister and to keep it dry when we should have been soaking it!)

Because of this, it is STILL not better, almost 1 month later!

Then Lucius burned his forehead on the glass of the fireplace!  The girls said he burnt his hand so I ran it under water for 15 minutes (during which he calmed down- "oooo splashy the water") only to find out his hand was fine and it was his HEAD!  ACK!

Then my throat swelled closed - (dang, forgot to take a picture LOL)

Welcome to Strep Throat City, Population: ME! 

3 days in bed! 

............Then we all fall like Domino's!

1st Snuffy, then Serenity, then I take EVERYONE to the Doctor's for throat swabs!  Yup, we've ALL got it!  We also find out Lucius has a raging ear infection!

I have one day respite, where we go to Science World for a Spark sleepover!

This is apparently an EBOLA hotzone Becauuuusssssseeee - I got a chest cold!  AAAAAAAA!

..........Once again, we all fall like Domino's! 

Stick a fork in me, because I am DONE!

So sick of being sick!

Hope everyone else had a good February - I'm ready to see it end!

What's up with you?

Monkey Man

Oh how I loooove this monkey costume!  Forgot to get pics of little man on Halloween, so I dressed him up a week later and snapped 1,000,000 shots.  These are my faves.

Really loving little mini pics, must remember to develop more of those!

I bribed him with the camera lens cover, mmmmm tasty!

Do you bribe your subjects?  with what?

Stand Tall

I love this picture of Lucius.  He's so proud to be standing all on his own!

Adding a bit of bling, buttons and pop dots to a cut out rocket really adds something.

Please ignore the red "blood" dripping behind his head!  That was the colored bubble massacre.

Any milestones for you?

Lucius Love

I created this page with no picture on it FOREVER ago.  I could never find the picture I wanted and I thought it would be a black and white one.  However, when I saw his blue eyes pop against the heart, I had to use this one.

It took a VERY long time to punch, glue and add liquid pearls to each heart, but I love the effect.  Definitely do something like this again sometime.

Funny how I have the patience to do this, but grocery shopping KILLS me!  (I loathe people getting in my way and long line ups)

What makes you impatient?

Lucius Lookin Smart

I haven't been creating pages for awhile so I dug right in and found some half finished projects (like my smash book) and it was amazing to finish a bunch of pages in very little time!

Poor Lucius, I looked at his pathetic excuse for a scrapbook (the girls already all having at least 2) and saw that he only had 4 pages! GASP!  Can that be right?

Oh the shame! 

So he's gonna be the focus for the next little bit!

Love Love this picture of my baby reading my library book before he can really even sit up on his own!  I REALLY love to read and will be passing this on to all my kiddos! 

Read anything good lately?

Smashbook III

Some more Smash! 

I love how the picture of the Ghost Mickey turned out.  I added a part of our wristbands, clothing tag and a picture of our entire suitcase full of CANDY from our Trick or Treat night - unforgettable.

The kids all dressed up and crashed out after "frick-er-freet-ing" (Skyler's phrase).  Rayna was so good, she could do it in her sleep LOL - check out the closed eyes and open bag!

Lucius got so sticky and yucky - we said he was the "Boogyman" for Halloween!  Check out his protective ear wear for the fireworks - he slept through them.

My little goofball Princesses making wishes at SnowWhite's wishing well. 

They also did a quiz to see which Disney character they were most alike.  Rayna was Mrs. Potts, Skyler was the Evil Queen (I swear, I didn't even read the test to her, I just let her press the buttons LOL).  Serenity was Cinderella, but I missed it, so she went again and was VERY unhappy to get Nala LOL!

We all LOVE Phineas and Ferb and were stoked to see their dance party.  Rayna shook her groove thing all the way over to dance with Phineas and the rest of us danced on the sidelines.  My fave song - Squirrels in My Pants!!!

I love the giant pocket that says "so good I want to put it in my pocket!"  I put our vaca planning CD and a brochure in it.  I took pictures of the 4 prints Snuffy bought too.  They are the Cars characters as painted by Chip Foose.

My mom and my kids on her scooter - plus Serenity's comment when she first saw it.  "I want that for Kilometer Club" LOL
If you can't get enough Smash-ing ideas - go here to their Blog!

PS - I just got a Mini-Smash book - didn't even know they had them but now i've got one to carry around in my purse!

Friday Funnies - Book Bandit

Oh my sweet Lucius, how he loves to read.  We have a mini book shelf at the end of our hallway with all the kids books on it.  Lucius loves to go down there and pull them all off the shelf.  Which is OK, because then he sits and tries to read them.

However, one day I noticed a lot of the books were missing off the shelf but they weren't on the floor.  Weird!

Then I caught the Book Bandit later that day, shoving books under the door to his sister's bedroom! LOL

He loves to give them a big surprise!

It's even funnier when one of them is in their room and they shove the books back!  He looooves that!

Anyone hide things on you?
