Just Another Day...

Well I feel like with all the excitement of last week there isn't really much to write about these days.

We've just been doing school, cleaning house, playing cards, riding bikes, swinging... You know all of our usual daily stuff. The kids I think are glad to get back to school, give their minds something to do. They seem to bicker less when they have it to do. Savannah sat at the table & colored each of her school papers after she worked them, just because she could. She must have been at it for over an hour. But she's such an "ALL" colorer. I mean the sky is ALL blue, from corner to corner; the grass field that streches from one side of the page to the other is completely colored, etc. And now she's in this phase where she wants everything the right color. She'll even ask me "What color is a rabbits nose?", so she can get it all just right. oh well. I know I was never like that. Everything on my page was a rainbow of colors. That must come from my being the baby of the family with the flamboyant personality. :-)

Oh & speaking of playing cards, Hunter discovered our GIANT cards yesterday & we all just had to play all kinds of games with them. He kept laughing & saying "This is a funny game". Here he is contemplating what Savannah might play in the game of Crazy 8's.

And then there's Dawson. He's getting his 4th Molar in, so he's been grumpy. But he is getting so independant. Sometimes he won't eat anything at mealtime & then he gets out of his highchair & climbs up on one of the big chairs at the table & proceeds to eat whatever food is there.

So Tim put him up in my chair to have a piece of pizza one night that I was gone. Here is my big boy (almost 1 1/2 yrs.), eating his whole piece of pizza & "sitting" in a big chair. At least he's not too big yet to wear a bib that says "I love my Mommy". :-)

Well I better finish up here. Tomorrow I go to the dentist & get a lovely shot in the mouth so that I can get fitted for a crown. Ugh! I am so NOT looking forward to that.

A Fresh look.

Time again for one of those painting/decorating pangs to hit me. I put the kids down for naps & knew that I didn't want to do housework or sit at the computer or anything else that I normally would do with this quiet time to myself. I did however feel the definite urge to do something creative, relaxing & with paint involved. So I casually go out to get the mail & then... bam ! Those of you who know me, may have guessed what came next. I can't just have me & everyone else just look at a boring 'ole black mailbox everyday. That poor mailman/ mail lady ! He/She (we have both) will thank me for it I'm sure. See, here is my poor dilapidated mailbox prior to 1pm. It was in bad need of a new coat of black paint, the bird poop washed off & some screws to hold it up straight. It's so ashamed it can't even hold it's head up high! But behold the beauty of the newly restored mailbox! A new look along with all new screws. It can hold its head up hi...

Family Memories

It's totally weird & unexpected, but the 4 day vacation up to Show Low was one of our best vacations ever! Even Tim said that was true for him. It was nothing spectacular, just good, clean fun! Relaxing, yet not boring. Fun, yet not busy. And the kids all behaved & got along...maybe that's what made it awesome! Plus the fact that we hadn't done too much as a family for a year due to Tim's hospitalizations, sicknesses & lack of vacation time left. We went to a very fancy restaurant. Savannah had been learning in school about etiquette in a place like this, so she was able to practice it & keep the boys in line. This place also had a live band out back, so afterwards we went out there & sat around the fire and danced a little. We all played frisbee golf. Tim grilled our dinners while I sat on the porch & read. The kids played games outside. Tim joined them in several hide-and-go-seek games, which they thought was cool. He did some pretty impressi...

My time to reminisce about Dawson.

No matter what I do, my children just keep getting older! I tell them they aren't allowed to. I don't give them big parties. Nothing works. :-0 I so vividly remember the first days with him in our family. Savannah & Hunter were thrilled to have a baby in our house. My little thumb sucker. I have to say, Dawson is just so full of life & personality & odd thoughts & sayings. He's very imaginative and thoughtful & caring and the next minute he's pestering someone out of their mind! He's unpredictable most of the time. He will always find the loop-hole to the rule & find a way to do something naughty that there wasn't a rule made up for yet. He makes me want to pull my hair out most days...but it's that passion that makes me crazy about him too. Last night we went to Rustler's Rooste for dinner with my in-laws to celebrate. ...
