A Photo Shoot For Auntie

And Their Eivl Plans Begin

Two little voices from the other room reacting to my request to clean up their room,

Ave "lets spray her with a hose"
Ethan "ya"
Ava " hmmmm how are we going to get the hose to her"
Ethan " ummmm put her in the bath.... giggle, giggle..... scrubby dub"
Ava "hmmmm but how are we going to get her cloths off?"
Ethan "ummmm" I'm pretty sure he was tapping his chin with his finger
Ava " lets suck them off with the vacuum"
Ethan "oh ya and then put her in the big bath.... giggle, giggle..... scrubby dub"
Ava " and then put her clothes in the laundry"
Ethan "scrubby dub a great big tub"

Do you think they will light candles?

She's Good

Ella is doing great :)
Everything went smoothly.
She was very unimpressed however and may have a different opinion of the event :P
Thanks for all the support

My new Hair

Yesterday as I was huffing around cuz well I'm a girl, Ella set up a trap. She must have been unimpressed with the mature manner I was dealing with my problems. So into Ant's drawer she went searched out a screw mounted to a back plate. I'd post a picture but I believe they were all collected and tossed. She strategically planted on the path I was on putting away laundry.

I will spare you the gross popping sound it made as it went into the bottom of my foot and how I cried like a baby. After it was washed and bandaged Ant started talking about getting a tetanus shot. I was all who needs a tetanus shot I'm super woman (or scared of needles).

Then google showed me the light and I put on my boots and got my hair done.

Dude it's been over a year and a half it was time. After the fabulous Nicole worked wonders on my hair I was off to the ER. I think a world record was broken, the quickest visit to the ER. They didn't even give me enough time to play the new game on my iPhone.

I almost complained.... "I have kids at home people, this is a mini vacation here, stop being so efficient".

Then again who wants a vacation at the ER. I'm a totally flexable person so I changed things up a bit and yes that was me sking in the frozen food section at the grocery store.

My new hair....

Peace

A moment of silence
I Remember
Please know
I am Thankful

EYES

Her eyes, I want to see her eyes. I have looked past the goop for over a year now. I have washed and massaged. I have picked and scraped while she wailed at me to stop. I want to see those baby blues, let the glint of her smile shine through. On Friday she is going in for surgery. No more blocked tear ducts, I have such mixed feelings over her having put under for such a small nuance. Ethan had the same problem, but Ella's seems to be bothering her more now. It keeps getting infected so something has to be done. It is a quick procedure and will be done in less then 10 mins. I bet she can't wait till someone isn't always picking at her and doesn't have to see the world through a layer of goop.

Halloween

I'm just over a week late with this, but I have an excuse..... I'm me :)

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR

MINNIE MOUSE

We made their costumes this year and I think we did a good job, thanks to my sister who helped me out. Working together meant we only glued our fingers together once.

House and Home

Dear Home,

I am so glad that you are in my heart, it makes moving a little easier.

Love Jen


Dear house,

You we must leave, I have had fun here fixing you up. You were quite sick when we first set eyes on you and to tell you the truth I had eyes for another house..... a farm.... a great open space, but you came to us and fit perfectly. As we tore out all that made you smell over the years we made you glow and now I am proud to call you home. (at some point will show you off, with some before and after pictures). We brought all our babies home to you, so much excitement, so much joy. The bambinos room is still my favorite room in the house. What a great outdoor space we have had here, a large yard and with the deck we added last year I spend my summers enjoying you to the max. You are perfectly situated in a village with a great school. I am sad when I think of another family moving into this life, of bonfires and walks on the trails. They will wake up in the mornings and watch the great tree just outside the bedroom transform through the seasons.
As we move on from here, I must say I'm glad it was you dear house even though at first I wasn't sure.
Thank you so much, but now I live in someone else's home, they will come in here and make you their own. I hope they love it here!

Love always,
Jen

Here's Looking At You

We have walking, but she still wants to hold my hand :)

Moving

I have started this post over and over again, but this time I'm hitting publish before I walk away form the computer. So if there are lots of spelling mistakes Ella woke up form her nap and I hit publish and walked away.....

We are moving, like in less then 30 days from now.
We are moving closer to Ant's work. Him driving over three hours to work is just crazy and I'm not working here in the area anymore.
I have cried, I have been excited, but my head is spinning and I don't know what direction I'm headed in.
The kids are doing OK as long as we promise that all their toys are going with them.
