Just for fun, Photos of the babies

He's probably going to kill me....He even said "these better not show up on the blog"....but I couldn't resist!  He was cracking me up.  I told him to lay on the bed so I could adjust my camera settings before I had Brentley come up.  This is what I got.




 
                                             


 Because I can't decide if I like it better in black and white or color, I posted both.










We told him to put his chin in his hands........like this Nanna?

 Like this?

 Rotten much?




Then we tried to put sissy in the picture with him.....Sissy was NOT impressed.

I didn't pinch her mamma, I promise.

Don't cry sissy!

 Look, like this....be happy.......

This chick is hopeless....give it up people.


 Seriously guys....she's done.





 We tried again later with just sissy........she cooperated for a little bit, but the princess thinks she needs held all day.  She shoulda been a kangaroo baby.

But she sure is cute!



 Look at all that cute baby chub :)



You crazy people aren't funny, just pick me up already!
 Ok these people are just weird.......

I'm done.

Wren's 9th Birthday

Number 9 was rather uneventful.  A small party with the family that lives close.  School was closed because of snow on her actual day, so she still hasn't got to celebrate there.  Hopefully tomorrow!

Harrison made this cute ribbon curtain for her.









 Her food of choice, Pizza and she wanted boxed cupcakes instead of a cake.  She was adamant.














 The snow came pouring in that evening.

 .....and even more on Monday.










 Thankfully we know neighbors, who know neighbors.....with a snowblower.





 Traffic was non existent, so half the neighborhood was playing in the street.

Kale Haters Unite

We are trying to do the Trim Healthy Mamma way of eating around here. Trying to eat healthier.   Well one of the recipes in the book was for kale chips.......they can be addictive they said.......They do a good job of fulfilling what potato and corn chips offer.........our children love them.......a delicious way to get vegetables they said...........HAH!  They taste like sea weed and my children wouldn't touch them.  Iley started crying when Sherman tried to force feed her some.  Way to frighten small children!  

I had a large bag of pre washed kale in the fridge........I read the article below and laughed out loud, but it reminded me of my bag of kale that was still sitting skeptically in the fridge ready for trial.  If you've tried kale and hated it, you will LOVE this article.

The outcome of the kale experiment:  It tastes like sea weed and now the house smells like cabbage........which would actually taste much better. While moaning to Gwen, I asked who would eat this seaweed tasting stuff.......she said maybe a cow, or something to that effect........

But I ask you.......do these animals look happy to you?
 


People........you all know we are supposed to eat beef from HAPPY cows!  
So it had to go you know.  It was the consistancy of ashes with a chewy strip in the middle.  As I dumped the whole lot in the trash......I had a moment of silence for all the sailors who suffered from scurvy......and called it a lesson learned.


So I've decided I will only eat converted kale..........without bread of course.
