Father's Day 200?

This is one of those things that I've meant to blog about for ages and don't think I ever did.

After so many holidays of trying to come up with creative gift ideas for "Daddy", this was my best one yet. I traced the kids hands on paper and then cut them out. I then let them loose with crayons to decorate their respective hands. After finding this great frame, I had a masterpiece! It's still hanging in Jim's office but after a few years the hands have started to slide a bit. Oh well!

Tattooed

I want this one tattooed on my tush! (Not really but it's a great thought that makes me laugh so hard I have to cross my legs and practice Kegels)

Knowing Me

Anytime my husband says (such as explaining more as to why he despises glitter~ with three daughters and one wife it's hard to avoid the stuff and sometimes he ends up with a speck or two on his face or clothes and gets unmercifully teased by the guys at work) or does something cute or funny and/or I get a picture of it (like when we were playing a very competitive game of Wii Bowling after the kids had gone to bed and he thought I was going to take longer at my turn so he ran in to change his clothes and then it WAS his turn so he took his turn mid-change~ white t shirt, boxer briefs, and dark dress socks! It was so hot! How I was quick enough and stopped laughing long enough to get a shot of that is beyond me!), he ALWAYS backs it up by saying something along the lines of he better not read about it on my blog tomorrow.

Really, honey!?!?? I thought you knew me better than that!

Sharing a Bed

I am amazed by little space she needs to sleep.

Cooking a la Cattigan

When you pull dinner out of the freezer and it looks like this....



You toss it and pull out this....



And find out you can make this~ ALL BY YOURSELF!



I put my beautiful cream sauce over pasta and then realized I didn't make enough and was out of milk to be able to make more so needless to say, dinner was not received with overwhelming enthusiasm.

But DID YOU SEE MY CREAM SAUCE I MADE ALL BY MYSELF!?!?!?!?

Natural

I wish my hair did this all on it's own or even at all. I would kill for those curls!

Holiday Treats

Because of the snow and the EXTRA WEEK of Winter Break the kids had, a lot of Holiday treats and projects are coming home now.

This being one of them......



Made by Natalie~ cute, huh?!?!?

A ice cream cone covered (and I do mean COVERED) in green frosting decorated with M&M's and cinnamon candies.

I promptly set it in a safe (and high) place only to come back an hour later to find the cone toppled and stripped of all of the M&M's. I guess it could have been worse- I could have found the cone clean of frosting!
