Whackadoodle

I'm feeling rather whackadoodle lately.  Running all over and doing so many things.  So here are some crazy pictures.

Now where do I put anything I want to buy?

Look at those teeth!  He also has a fang LOL!

The first time we could bust out the sprinkler this year and they all wanted to drink the water!

Skyler liked to lean in Superman-style!

Woo Hoo, she is interested in the potty!

My little bear!

Did you know that once you pet a slug the slime on your hand acts like superglue?

Here is proof - she's holding a rock up with it!

The Sparks stop, look and listen.  Serenity is third from the right.

Look closely at the tiny green caterpillar on that rock!  What have you been up to?  Anything whackadoodle?

Cinemazoo

We went to a Cinemazoo night and my brave Serenity did this:

And then a chihuahua rode a turtle.  LOL

Crazy good fun. Have you ever held a snake or other creepy creature?

For Nana

Hey mom, I thought you would like to see these pictures: 

Do you think I should put them in dance?

She's got the helmet, now she wants to learn to ride.

After school snack before we play in the park (on any day that it is not raining).

Lucius finally sits up without falling over and smashing his face - so we gave him this penguin (having kept it in the closet since xmas) and he loooooves it!

Serenity's class went out to play and she drew this on the sidewalk. 

 I went out with Snuffy ALONE, for the first time since September!  It reminded me that:
a) date nights are good and should be done more often
b) it's weird eating without anyone needing me to feed them
c) garlic mashed potatoes ROCK, even if they make me exceed my caloric intake for the day!
d) i loooove sour apple martini's and now it only takes ONE to make me tipsy LOL!

Where have you gone for a great date?

(everyone else: I will get back to crafting this month - I PROMISE) The only crafty thing I have done lately are these:

I can't show you the inside of any of them because they are for my Sparks and there are RULES on using other kids pics.

Another Wordless Wednesday

Best Sister EVER

Serenity had been dying to get her ears pierced for the longest time.  These were the earrings she had picked out.  We ordered them and are still waiting for them to arrive.

Impatience runs in the family so when we were out and about we saw the free ear piercing at Walmart and she had to have it done.  Rayna must do everything her big sister does so she was in too.  Rayna quickly picked out a pink pair of butterflies while Serenity was racked with indecision.

When she finally picked pink too, the saleslady said, "Sorry, that was the last pair!"  Serenity started bawling!!!!!    Rayna picked up her pink pair, handed them to Serenity and said, "You can have my pair, I will choose blue instead - to go with my eyes!"  BEST SISTER EVER!!!!

Serenity flinched but didn't cry.

Rayna changed her mind so many times one of the ladies went off shift so she had to have each ear done 1 at a time.  This is the first ear:

This is the second:

This is afterwards with their matching necklaces. (also wearing their "baby-soup's")

Have you ever had a traumatizing ear piercing?

Wordless Wednesdaaaay

First time at Camp

Serenity's and I had our first camping experience with the Sparks on the weekend (5 and 6 year old Girl Guides) and she had a hoot.  She loved picking out the bunk bed (the top, of course) for her and I.

She loved doing the arts and crafts.

She loved the nature walk and geocaching.  I love the Geocaching too and think I now have to buy a GPS for our family.

She loved the campfire and the singing.

She really loved the giant smores too.

On the way home she said to me, "Can we go somewhere else Mommy?"

I said, "Where do you want to go?"

She said, "Anywhere Mommy, I just want to stay with you!"

Then when we got home we crawled in bed together and she reached out and held my hand and we fell asleep for a 3 hour nap.  And that is why I volunteer so much of my time with Girl Guides!  Were you ever a Guide or Scout?  What was your fave activity with them?
