My kids rock!

So I just had a couple things I wanted to jot down before I forgot! Last night Andie was mysteriously working on a project for awhile. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she packed up a bunch of her toys (They were in a big cardboard box with tape over it) and told me that she wanted to give them away. I asked her why and to who and she told me that she wanted to give them to kids that didn't have any toys to play with, because she has been so lucky and has so many! This was such a tender little moment for me. There is such joy when things just click for your kids. I have been trying to teach her that giving is the most important thing to do this time of year and I don't like to sugar coat things for my kids, I want them to know that there are lots of kids out there that are far less fortunate than them. It looks like it's paying off a little bit. Now she's so excited and wants to wrap all of them up and she keeps saying "Those kids are going to be so happy!"

Family Pictures!

So my friend Natalie is an awesome photographer and she agreed to do a trade for family pics! My kids are SO hard to get to cooperate for pictures so she did great with the 20 minute time frame my kids sat still for...if that! Here are some of my faves!

Complete Randomness with some Pumpkin Carving!

Okay so I guess I will start this post off with our pumpkin carving night (Sorry, the girls just got home from hunting had a bath and then picked out awesome clothes,

hence pantless Brooke :) )

Andie helped design this one...and we decided it looked like a clown

The girls were SO grossed out by the pumpkin guts that they refused touching them with their hands. We finally got Andie to pull some out and it was so funny she was freaking out over the slime...Such divas...

So back track to last weekend when Shan was hunting and my mom and Lincoln stayed with me and the girls. Anyway, me and Danielle went to What Women Want and my mom stayed home with the kids, when we got home they were all in the back scrubbing the patio with SOS pads..the odd thing? They were enjoying it!! I need to get my kids cleaning more often cause they loved it, but not as much as we loved the view we got while they were cleaning HEHE!

Some people might think these pictures are crude...or inhumane, but me? I think it's hilarious! This is almost what I always see when Brooke is bent over..poor girl, she really needs to grow a bum! haha!

Hard at work! :)

Busy Girls!

I have got some crazy busy girls on my hands! They are so funny and so full of surprises! Last week Charly learned this little trick (One that I'm really not fond of for obvious reasons) I couldn't find her anywhere until I heard her laughing out loud! She's a scream!

Brooke loves to help me do the laundry, so the other day she was helping me and while I was putting all the clothes away I came back to find this...The sock monster! haha she's such a cutie!

And yes, Andie's very busy too...(probably the busiest) She was probably changing her clothes 100 times or attempting to paint her nails while these things were happening... :)

Ohh..the life of a mother with busy girls...:)
