Summer Mysteries

Some of these things may or may not ever be explained.

Does lip gloss go better on the lips or all over the face?

How long can this curious george book keep Lincoln entertained on the potty?

If you look closely just below the bowl and to the right a little there is a dirty footprint on my counter. Can you tell who's size 9 that is? 

Why was the sky covered with this weird smoke and the sun was red? A 25,000+ acre fire pretty close to our town. 

How in the world did I get my kids to eat every bite of their veggie lasagna that doesn't even have noodles in it? Grilled eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, even clearance organic ricotta.

I love this look, his playful engaged face.
And the final mystery of the summer, who does this little boy look like? I guess he looks like Warner but it amazes me how his facial expressions can change in just the few seconds between pictures. His little hair line is also starting to come in so he's not quite so bald any more. I think his hair will be more similar to Dylan's than Lincoln's so far. 

His focused on Mommy look.

His watching tv look.

His handsome, almost unbearably adorable look.

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
