Our life:

How can I not be excited about all the day has to offer when I wake up to a hair-do like this? Mine may not have been much better...some secrets a girl will never tell ;)



Which also reminded me of something that happened a couple weeks ago that I needed to write down and remember.
My parents were watching the kids one Sunday a couple weeks ago while Joe and I were at the church (he was getting a new calling). I dropped Joe off at home to gather things together to head to his family dinner while I picked up the kids. I walked into my Mom's and Corinne was crying...the first thing I noticed was the look on my Mom's face then she said, "I am so sorry, Steph." I looked at Corinne and it took me a minute to notice what was wrong. She had a ZhuZhu pet stuck to her head! If she wouldn't have been so sad it would have been hilarious.
Jed had turned it on and stuck it next to her head "to see what would happen." Well, Jed my boy, you found out. What happened was, it wound itself so tight in her hair there wasn't any way to get it untangled. My Mom had just been holding her with the pet hanging on her head until I got there because they didn't want to cut it out without my permission (good thinking). Anyway, my dad was having a look at it and accidentally bumped the on button, it kicked it into reverse and unwound itself. Close call.

This is the boys the day before the wedding reception as I was getting things cleaned up. Oh, the irony.

In their defense they did ask if they could "play in the mud", but I was under the impression they meant their trucks not their faces. I didn't grab the camera until Jed was mostly sprayed off but you get the idea.




Never a dull moment. By the way, am I validating my children by taking pictures of all their naughty moments? Hmmm.
