The kids got these for Christmas from Grandma Carol.
I swear they use them every day.
Those whiteboards are irresistible!

Oh, to be nine again and have my only worries be
walking the red carpet every weekend with my BFF's!

Brody, watch out!

Matt thinks if he eats enough of these, he won't get sick.
We'll see, big guy.

My favorite picture from our December 06,
Disneyland/California Adventure trip.
I think we were almost upside down at this point
or maybe we had just been upside down.
Can't remember, but the looks on their faces are priceless.

I've just been too sick to snap any photos this week.
So I'll post a couple of "oldies but goodies"
until I'm back on my feet.
This one cracks me up. He looks so happy to be livin' in that shoe!

My best friend for the next 10 days.
Not kissing my life so much this week...

This one's for my brother.
Can you remember the sounds it makes?
I've got to hunt down the basketball one, too.

The snow finally melted enough today for this!
48 degree felt downright balmy.

Today I need this.
Hence, no projects today.

Am I making you crazy yet?
Sorry, but I have to log these to keep myself going.
And believe it or not, Kendell, no Dr. Pepper involved!

Way to go, Jo. Every semester for the last 3 years!
Hoping this equals a scholarship!!

Today's project.

Aiden, Brody and their friend Aubree in their "clubhouse".
This cracks me up. They have a 300 sq ft. play room,
but the little cubby they've squished themselves
into is just so much more fun!

Brody's Valentine to Matt and I.
Man, I love that gi.

Aiden's Valentine outfit.
I told ya. Vera Wang better watch out!

This year's Valentine's.
Pretty dang cute.

Do you think this is too much?

My newly organized tool drawer.
Part of my "2009 Gettin' Organized if it Kills Me!" Campaign.
"For every minute spent in organizing an hour is earned."
"Progress, not perfection!"
"A drawer a day!"
(I actually learned this pep talk stuff at a class at the library.
I love free classes.)

This is where I find Brody regularly now.
Our rule is no food outside the kitchen.
As you can see, he is "technically" still in the kitchen.
He sets up his little area with snacks and crafts,
and with the TV straight ahead, he might just stay here all day!

Devin's Hawaii flower.

"No really, I just looked away for a second!"

I remember when I could do this. (Sigh)

Today's project.
Downstairs bathroom, 90% completed!
We won't have 4 kids crammed in the
same bathroom anymore. Woohoo!
Sunday mornings are ugly.

This week's obsession. Baked not fried (I think).
30% less fat. Multigrain. It's all good.

Don't try this at home.

This is what happens when you forget to
turn off your sprinklers for the winter.

A hundred stinkin' yards?! I have no words...
