Meeting Mr. Claus at the library

Get a little closer; don't be shy.

Apparently, Santa isn't wearing "Arrid extra dry".

Is this legal?

I wonder if this is what they had in mind when they wrote "no dumping" next to the drainage ditch.

Planking Competition

Planking (or the Lying Down Game) is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. Both hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank. Rigidity of the body must be maintained to constitute good planking.

I think Ben may have won for originality...But Daisy wins for technique!

Ben's 6th birthday

Time for Christmas... a little early!

You think this is early?

Look up my November 2009 post. Go ahead, look it up! I will give you a clue....

The post title is "Halloween Trick.... or just being sneaky?"

Fun after school

Daisy! Get down here and finish your homework!

Colby! You are too young to be in a tree! Yes, I know "tree" sounds like "three" but that doesn't mean that is the age requirement!

Ben! Quit monkeying around! What shirt are you hiding under that jacket? Did you wear your orange shirt again to school today?

Alexis! How many times do I have to tell you not to climb trees in your clean, white socks!

Children! Where is your father? I know he heard me when I asked him to start dinner!

Halloween...lots of fun on halloween

Neighborhood block party!

Hay rides, pizza, a projected movie, and carnival games. We were freezing, but we got lots of candy and the chance to hang out with some great neighbors. Good times! Daisy, our cowgirl

Alexis is 9 years old!

Alexis had the girls from her class come over for her birthday party. They had fun putting make-up on blind folded, creating foil princess outfits, and using "money" to barter for prizes. Our little, shy gal ain't so shy anymore...she rocked that party!

First Day of School

I'm sure Mrs. Franklin is ready for some sass in her class!

Daisy, dear, you are just in 3rd grade. But I do appreciate the formal etiquette pose.

Ben? You do know the rules at school, right?

Daisy's baptism

Freaky

Daisy may need a little practice trying to scare us!

Our first house guests

New house!... I'm excited!

Our cute 5 bed, 3.5 bath home that we just bought in Columbus, Georgia. June 28 closing day- here we come. Saw 20 houses, argued a little, and closed on this plan, the Cambridge. All in a DAY'S work. (Rhet doesn't get off much, but that will soon change!) The kids are already discussing which room is theirs and I am already planning for guest room furniture. SO- if you plan on staying with us (please, do) let me know what kind of bed you like!
