I DO NOT like white chocolate.

Caleb had his first solids today,Elli was feeding him applesauce which he was actually eating, it was very cute, even though I had to make her quit.

Instead of saying "The End" at the end of a book Evs always says "Amen"

Evs had his Dental Surgery yesterday, he is doing great they got everything fixed and like the Dr. said we will have to keep a close eye on him, he is so tough we don't even know he is in pain half the time. I think he will grow up to be a superhero:)

Hmm my scanner isn't working well I'll post a pic of Evs at the hospital later.

Happy Valentines Day!

I am listening to Hometown Glory by Adele, I really like it, it was the freebie of the week off of Itunes and I usually do not like there freebies, but this is good.

Well Valentines Day was a bit of a tragedy, although for the girls I think it was okay, Evs was horribly sick, the infection in his tooth and jaw did not go away completely when his perscription ran out and his Jaw ended up swelling up to about the size the a tennis ball, it was horrible he was of course taken to first the doctor, who sent him him home with antibiotics and said the swelling should go down, if not they would hospitize him, but he was just getting worse as the day went on so Joff took him to the ER, they gave hime some stronger stuff and some sleeping pills, because the poor kid hadn't been able to sleep in two days then they sent him home, that was Valentines day, he is doing much better now ( I should think he would they gave him some strong stuff) he is still a little swollen, but it is going down, my poor little boy:(

Joff got me some flowers ( a dozen roses ) and a new phone, he got the girls a flower and a vase (he does this every year) Elenore was excited to be included and loves her flower, which I let her have, I put her vase away as I don't want her to break it. Katie and Alice got to exchange Valentines at school and according to them it was lots of fun, they were very excited to come home and show off there valentines, Alice read one from ( I think ) Jacob, it said something to the effect of "your a great buddy Valentine" Alice got all excited, she said "Hey I didn't know I was Jacobs (?) buddy!" LOL. I didn't do a fancy dinner, we didn't decorate, I was just to stressed that day, but I think that it was okay I hope it was, Dan and Hannah were over after school and Katie and Alice showed them there secret snow castle in the woods and then they played on the trampoline, on a side note you might think trampolines are just dangerous any "ol time, but in Winter it very dangerous, as the trampoline has a layer of ice, but I guess that makes it all the more fun, anyhow the snow is sooooo DEEEEEEP that they were jumping off the trampoline in a snow pile, fun for them, not so much for me;)
Felicity had her Valentines Day party at grandma school the day before Vday, Everett was invited too, and it was fun for them, they got to exchange Valentines with (Ivan and Milton). they played games, and had a treat, I know I have said this before but Felicity really loves Grandma School.
Last but not least, Valentines night, when I went in to bed, I found a Valentines note with a small pile of candy on my pillow from Katie, I am a very lucky mom to have such a sweet little girl.

Pictures of Katie and Alice

Winter!!!

Its Cold and Snowy (is that a word) out there!

Thanks to my good friend Chris (of Jo's Baklava!) I found out that the (25th) was dress up your pet day, sadly I didn't check my email till today, but what the heck I ran back grabbed my camera and the cat, any excuse to torture my sweet cat I'll take:) late or not.......

My cats is not happy with me.....I did finally track him down to the girls room, which is dark and only has one window, but oh well right? lol that wasn't my only problem, Elli came back to help and the cat was NOT interested in have his picture taken and he didn't appreciate the feather boa I had on hand. Anyhow I managed to snap a few shots before he darted off to pester the fish. feeling dissapointed in my five second photoshoot I pointed my camera to Elli who only raised her eyebrow as if to say, ya right! so this is what I caught for Stripes all dressed up in his feather boa and Elli just because, I'm off to see how dapper Woofy looks in a scarf and hat!

Ella and Caleb

ISn't my baby boy adorable!

Ella is a bottle thief, she will snitch Caleb bottle and drink it gone, but she always gives back the (now empty) bottle.

Speaking of snitching thats Alices fravorite thing to say anymore -

"I'm just gonna have to steal that from you"

or

"ah I was gonna steal that one!"

Don't know were she got it but its pretty funny. She a budding buisnessman (woman:) lately whenever we play Zooleretto, her stragety is not to build the best zoo but to collect other people animals and sell them back at a higher rate, this works because she might only have a few animals in her zoo but she has a huge fortune sitting in front of her and we are all broke, She does this with other games and I have even overheard her do similar thing while playing ponies with Katie and Alice, she can be ruthless! I am thinking about having her do some investing for us, lol.

Everett is all into burning and blowing up things, he can sit and watch war documentries for hours, he will come running in "he blew up, he blew up!"

I keep the matches hidden.

A couple of really quotes that made me smile this morning:)

Sometimes the mind, for reasons we don't necessarily understand, just decides to go to the store for a quart of milk.

Early Morning Flight

Katie,The Dentist and Snow

Happy Birthday Katie! My little girl is seven. She had a great birthday I think, Everyone came down and she got lots of presents. I will post a picture later.

Felicity is not a normal child, We took her up to a dentist appointment on Friday but stopped in at Toy"R"US first, when we pulled in She said "Hey this isn't the Dentist! I wanted to go to the Dentist!" And then when we did get to the did get to the dentist every time the lady came out to get some one she would jump up "Is it my turn! Is it my turn!" It gets worse, after the dentist brought her out, her jaw all swollen because she had a tooth pulled, the dentist said Felicity would have to come back on Monday, she turned to Felicity and said "is that all right Felicity?" Felicity replied "ya Monday" I tell you thats just not right.

Its snowing-LOTS.

Its January!

Duh you might say, we know that!

Well try this on!

Today I went out side, slid down my steps, tried very hard not to fall and break my bum on the ice only to reach the end of the walk and sink to the top of my boots in MUD!

That is so not right, ice and mud do not belong together.

Last week it was close in on to impossible just getting out of my very, very long driveway because of all the snow, this week I can get out of my driveway but my little back road is another issue as its a complete mud pit.

Katie is almost Seven!
