So sad

I still can't find the camera. I guess even though we were able to save it after jumping off the kitchen table, it just didn't want to be with us anymore. I believe it jumped out of my bag one day while we were out last week. The week was too crazy with Daddy gone for me to have any idea where we were or even what day it was. What am I supposed to do without a camera??? AHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm having withdrawal pains. I wonder how much crap I'm going to have to sell on eBay to make enough money to buy a new one? A lot. It's a lot of work, and only a little money. But every little bit helps.

The children are attacking each other - I must go NOW.

Snow!

It snowed on Friday morning. It was so exciting and so beautiful. I love snow! I wonder if I'll feel differently in a few months??? I don't think so. Now, I might be sick of being cold!! Actually, I'm sure I'll get sick of being cold. But not the snow.

It wasn't a lot of snow, just enough to really enjoy. I think it was the first snow of the season that didn't dissolve the moment it touched the ground. The kids and I took a short walk outside in it. They love it just as much as I do. As we were heading out for the day we got to see some really big fluffy flakes. I'm really enjoying the changing of seasons this year. I think we've got lots of winter fun ahead of us!

Just thought I'd share

I used to call Aubree 'Princess Poops-a-lot'. I'm sure it doesn't carry the same overwhelming, heart bursting love in writing. But, that's what I called her when I wanted to squeeze her too hard because the love was bursting outta me. I have no idea why I loved the name so much, it has a nice ring. LOL

We had a ton of names for Ty. Luckily I wrote a bunch of them down, because I don't remember a lot of them right now. Ty-de-do and Ty-de-doody-booty come to mind. That one sounds like a potty name, but I don't think it was meant to be! Oh, and Ty-de-do-de-cutie-booty.

Good stuff. Love those kids.

HAAAAALLOWEEEEEEN

Are you sure you want to see this?? Daddy was THAT GUY. You know the one, you can't figure out if he's wearing a costume or if he really looks like that.

I was 'THAT GUY'S' trophy wife. He hehe. My trophy's not real big, but hey, THAT GUY can't afford much!

Ty was the most handsome and most fierce pirate ever to roam the 7 seas of Stillwater, MN.

And there's most definitely never been a cuter ladybug in all of history.



We were invited to a party! Actually, 3 parties in the 3 weeks that we've lived here. We've never had such a rockin' social life! This was the coolest Halloween party. Costumes were mandatory, and as much as all the adults complained, I know we all had a good time with them. And there were kids running in every direction. Lots of food, and scary decorations.

People, when I dreamed of leaving San Diego to raise my kids in the midwest, this is what I dreamed of. I won't say it's perfect. But it's perfectly real. And that's even better.

Check out my boys hair

It's funkytown over here! Daddy already got a haircut, we couldn't have him showing up to his new job looking like that. And Ty's got an appointment with the clippers tonight. I will miss his shaggy little head. The floppy 'do either looks totally obnoxious or unbelievably cute. And most days it falls on the cute side.

There's always a fence to build

At every new house the first thing we do is build a fence. We've done several different kinds of fences. Fancy, sturdy, tall ones. Fast and temporary ones. Shiny, durable, vinyl ones. Little garden picket ones. So here we are, another house, another fence. We are all about comfort these days. Who cares how it looks, or if it's straight! How easy can we make it and will it hold up? Good enough then!

I am very please with our good enough fence. I think Daddy did a great job in record time.


Easy as 1,2,3.

The back was existing, we put up the side.

And the other side.Let's not talk about the fact that Seibu already hopped his horsey self over the little fence.
