Silly kids!

Kids outside rollerskating/rollerblading

+

sound of ice cream truck

+

no kids running inside begging for ice cream

+

Daddy is home

=

Kids must have talked Daddy into buying them something

So I went outside to investigate and sure enough,

I found kids with treats.

(Daddy is a big softy)

I was also highly amused at the kids solution to bum pads.

Callie was a little embarrassed.

Poor thing.

Christmas eve

We always open one present on Christmas eve so this year the kids had to wait until I got home from work. I got a beautiful watch from Callie. Jim got some much needed jeans. Polly liked them a lot. Emma and Conner got new Nintendo DSes. Callie got her Coastal Sense 88 shimmer pallette eyeshadows.

We were all very happy.

Merry Christmas Eve!!

Photo shoot~Emma

Photo shoots-Callie

This is our, the kids don't get school pictures done

& we are low on funds, photo shoot.

Callie really enjoyed modeling for me.

I loved the way these turned out.

Helen Keller- braille

Callie is learning about Helen Keller right now.

We are working on a lapbook.

This is Callie learning about Braille.

She was making cards to put in her lapbook

and made one with her name on it.

Homeschooling the fun way!

Mr Picky

To say that Conner is a picky eater is an understatement.

Please ignore the blue eyeshadow.

Callie aspires to be a makeup artist.

Her brother is a willing palate.

Oh my gosh, I think this is so funny.

It is an orange segment!

Not brussel sprouts or liver and onions.

That is what my parents forced me to eat.

Jim had to eat cow tongue.

An orange!

OH! MY! GOSH!

Here it comes. . . . .

Gagging!
He is gagging on an orange!
I don't know what else to say.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EMMA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUU!!!!!
