Watch Out Ye Jackanapes!

Nolan has been creating weapons.  He and his friends turned the girl’s playhouse into a medieval armory!  With rolls of duct tape, electrical tape, card board boxes, and other household junk… er treasures, they’ve created a weaponry shop worthy of the most dedicated warrior.
 
I’m considering buying him a few million paper clips to create “Chain [...]

Techno-Savy Challice~

Well with a cuppa on her belly and a milano in hand, laptop on her… well… LAP… I’d say Challice is settled in for a long summer’s surf!

Ya think she’s comfy?   Wait, isn’t that MY chair?  Isn’t that MY laptop.  Darcy!!!  Come back… come back to me…

She’s Driving Me Crazy~

Or at least she will SOON!   Praise the LORD!  (I love drivin’ kids!)
She finished the class last Thursday getting a PERFECT score on her final exam I might add.  Spent Friday-Sunday in Modesto having a blast, getting no sleep, and certainly not cramming for her written exam. 
She got up this morning and decided not to [...]

In the Desert, the Torrid Desert… The Lorna Sleeps Tonight…

She looks innocent doesn’t she.  Does she look like a child who would send her parents into fits of giggles over something so innocent as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, or Piglet?
I tend to avoid buying character clothing but sometimes there will be something small on a clothes that isn’t too obnoxious.
So she shows me this little [...]

When You Wish Upon a Star…

Morgann went to Disneyland with the Blair girls.
As you can see, they make them work to get in…

And once in…
They had FUN!

And if you want to see the rest…

Of Parties and Potters…

It’s eight o’clock.  Eight of us brave the crowds and enter Walmart.  There is no hat but the storting begins.  We all receive red bands.  Gryffindor.  We smile.  The kids fill out raffle tickets while I head to the bench in the fabric department.  I have a dress to smock.  Too bad I don’t have [...]

A Picture is Worth…

 

 

Braelyn has been working on photography for some time.  As you can see, she enjoys playing with the coloring and seeing what effects she can get from her work.  The first picture is one of my favorites and the last bothers me for some reason.  I’m not quite sure why.  She just snapped a picture, [...]

Glimpses of Kevin’s Musical Genius~

Parodies are Kevin’s forte.    He’s well known for his famous Christmas songs “Oh Christmas Lights” and “Merry Christmas Trees are Here”.  He is also known for his politically and domestically incorrect version of “I don’t know why I love you but I do”  For those unfamiliar with this song, here are the original words.
 
Clarence ‘Frogman’ [...]

I Deserve an Award…

Overheard moments ago at the Havig Haven.
Mom to Andra:  “If you had asked me if you could chase your brother with Lorna’s unders, would I have said yes?”
Andra:  “No.”
I kept a straight face.  I’m serious.  I didn’t crack even the tiniest hint of a smile.  It was an Oscar nomination worthy performance.  (until I got [...]

Lorna and the Pot: A Drama in 4 Acts~

Act one:
Mom sets Lorna on pot and says, you do sit there until you ‘do it’. She did it. She was quite pleased with herself.
Act two:
Lorna, wearing underwear instead of diaper, realizes the need to go and races for the pot. She sits. She goes. She pulls the recepticle out and takes it to dump [...]
