Winter nights

Home from the gym last week (before all this lice drama) and this is what I see. Not shown is Dad on his laptop on the couch.

Head Lice won't kill us!

26 loads of laundry...9 garbage bags full of pillows and stuffies...3 x 1 hour long head checks a day...gross smelling shampoos...

 

Nothing gets the Judds down ;0) Fun craft days is all it created ;0)

(and some drinkin' nights for a stressed out mom ;0)

 

 

My Son is not like me at all...

Sorting and Organizing...FUN stuff ;0)

 

 

Cool Guy

Couldn't pass up the Aviators!

Dad and Jimmy playing Lego Star Wars on Wii.

I can't even believe he can do this at 3.

Jimmy had fun with the "fun mirrors"...he got to be a "fat guy" ;0)

 

Mist

 

 

 This pinball machine thing was the favorite. Silly. It is in the lunch room.



Emmy's Baking Party....FINALLY!

Well, due to a lice outbreak in her classroom, Emmy's kid party was rescheduled to tonight. It was awesome and went so smoothly. I had my babysitter help me and this was the key point to the party success...I have done this a few times now...will never have another party again without a "helper" :) It make s all the the difference.

Emmy said she had a lot of fun! Poor Jimmy had to leave with Jim a few minutes into it...he cried...he was so sad...He wanted to stay with the girls. I feel bad now...but at the time didn't think the party would go well with little Mister Center of Attention there.

So, we made a placemat, chef hat, and apron. We rolled and cut out fondant shapes to decorate cakes. And then we iced and decorated the cakes! All while listening to Taylor Swift of course! Played a little freeze dance, ate a little supper, and ate a little cake and ice cream. Wow! we fit it all in...

Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the cakes!!!

All Emmy's wonderful gifts. Girls were sooo thoughtful. She got lego, and journals, and a fashion sketch pad. You could tell the girls really thought about it and had input in the gifts. Emily was really touched...

Blowing out the candles with a little spit!

Emmy's Family Party...Blackhawks!

A family party to celebrate Emmy's 7th birthday. A Blackhawks birthday as requested. Uncle Bob shares the same birthday so we share the celebration with him.

 

We had to cancel her kid party due to an outbreak of lice in her class! Luckily, Emmy didn't get it. But you never know. So, we decided to reschedule for February. It is a baking party and she is very excited.

 

(We also have some secret news we would love to share...but it is secret...check back for the great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
