Spidey Skills and Family Photos

Another October come and gone.

*sigh*  I miss it already.

Not that November doesn't have things to look forward to.  Faye's first birthday is coming up, so I have that to prepare for.  But my month of magic is now gone.

Keith played a fabulous SpiderMan.  Peter Parker would be proud.
Especially the way he got that donut off the string.  No hands.  That's my boy!

Faye was going to be a baby.  I know, original, hu?  I just hadn't thought about what to do for her.  Keith suggested she be Tinkerbell or a butterfly.  In the end, Jeffrey's suggestion won.
If you can't read it, her shirt says "Cuteness Vortex."  Jeffrey's idea.  I was awfully excited to try my hand at freezer paper stenciling.  I think it turned out well.  And, I made my first tutu.  It is a humble rendition, but she loved it, and gosh, doesn't she look darling?  I still have to make her a wand.  I have everything for it, just not the time.  Maybe by the time her birthday comes around I will finish it.  Sounds like a good plan to me.



And our family pictures are finally ready!  Our good friends Erin and Dan took them for us.  Dan did a great job getting the kiddos to look and laugh, and Erin took fabulous pictures.  Just see for yourself.

P.S. Please excuse the quality of the Halloween photos.  I forgot my camera and so these were taken by my mother.  She forgot the flash!  :)

Cuteness Vortex is ummm.... really cute. Darn, that was a bad sentence on so many levels.

But what really made me smile here is your family photos. Keep smiling girl. You are lovely. Don't hide your beauty...and be kind to yourself...you are gorgeous inside and out.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting. We talked about the children.   We talked about school. We talked about our rental house. And our plans for the future. As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening. More so me. Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly. While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships. Last night was a perfect example. We received the news. The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news. And it came in the form of an email from a
