Like WHATISHAPPENINGHERELET'SHAVEFUN. Deep breaths.  We had Wacky Day at our home school co op, CC, and I give full credit to Kent for the hair design and execution. Nicely done!  We stopped by Chick fil A on the way home to score free ice cream with our super hero costumes If you saw me, you may have thought I was leaning over and praying "God our father, God our father" in a sing song voice, but I was really praying a sincere but semi guilt ridden prayer that went something like, "Dear God, thank you for a daddy that works so we can split two chick fil a sandwiches instead of eating PBJs on stale bread at home. And for a mommy that remembers to pack costumes so we can change in the van and enjoy ice cream. P...

Things I'm Doing Taking pictures of cute daughters in matching outfits because babies don't keep  Riding a bike (okay, rode a bike once) with my new two wheel bike rider! We were both equally as wobbly.   Running around on a Friday afternoon to Walmart (stuffed crust pizza) and the library (Tinkerbell movie) for a girls night while letting them wear whatever they want..brown shoes with princess socks, crocs that give you blisters and fake glasses.  Not cooking the ham but apparently Kent is.  This is what it looks like when I let Siri do the texting.   Attending church with 65 people. WHAT??  Praise + Disbelief + Panic all rolled up together in a big, friendly pastor's wife smile Other Things We're Doing... -Skip counting up to 8's -Singing songs about Pope Lee III -Picking up our toys every night -Letting Audrey explore potty training just for fun (please leave your favorite carpet cleaners in the comment sectio...

1. The birthday girl (tomorrow) pictured above 2. Audrey didn't cry when I dropped her off or picked her up from class today 3. Caris' odd class presentation, "This is my one legged barbie. And I named her Gertie. And we got her from a yard sale. I like to play with her and make her hop around" (And the parental sanctification that comes from hearing that and refraining from saying, "Pretty sure we didn't get it from a yard sale!!!") 4. A breeze today 5. Linen pants that feel suspiciously like pajama pants 6. New friends 7. A husband that will cook dinner while I run errands 8. Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a white hamburger bun toasted with a layer of butter. My waistline says no but my heart says yes 9. Chocolate creme Oreos (Get the heart cath ready) 10. Clean sheets
