Proximity doesn't prove guilt!

Things happen when Sam is around. That's not to say he does so-called things, I'm just stating the fact that they happen.

This one is called "Wow! Someone made a mess! I better go tell Mom so she can take care of it. Darn brothers!"

And we've labeled this one " Watching the Flour Fly" although that's not meaning to be accusatory, either.

And this is simply "Aftermath".

Like I said, things happen when Sam's around. But, then again, things happen when he's not around, too. So who knows?

What the Heck in the World?!?

Super Cute Aprons

Happy Easter

I looked everywhere for ties for my boys for Easter. Since someone thinks $20 for a 18 inch tie is reasonable, I decided to make our ties this year. At the last minute (like, Saturday at 9:30 PM) we decided to make one for Jared, too. Aren't they soooo cute!

This is an Easter collage of our day. There's our ties, dying eggs, Jeremy (niece Natalie's husb) & Sam, Jake & cam looking for their baskets, Sam dripping sticky, sweetart chick goo down his chest, egg hunt pics from Earlet's, a pic of Natalie that Cam took - she's glowing!, and the East Egg Roulette.

(double click it to see the details)

On the way to school Friday, the DJs were doing an Easter egg roulette on the radio. The guy had to smash eggs into his head until he found the one boiled egg in the bunch. The boys and I decided to try it (although my job was just to boil eggs!) The right picture is Cam and the left is Jake. I gave them each 5 eggs - 4 raw, 1 boiled. Cam found his boiled egg on turn #2; it took Jake 5 eggs to find his!

Buckethead

Isn't this what you do with your Easter basket? Nevermind that, look at how cute our Sammer is!

Sammm, we're trying to read scriptures! Cut it out!

Really, Sam. No one is even listening anymore. Stripling warriors Stripling schmorriors!

Why don't I get anything done?

I was trying to make cookie dough, like any good mom, so the boys could decorate Easter cookies for their teachers for Friday. In the time it took me to take the dough to the fridge, Sammers pulled this box of cereal out of the trach and emptied it on the floor.

While I thought about cleaning that up, he opened the baking cabinet and got into the corn meal.

At this point, the neighbor kid came in tattling about my oldest angel so I headed across the street to make amends. Sam threw up the handful of cornmeal on their kitchen floor instead of theirs. One less mess for me. And, no, I didn't get a picture of that one!

April Fool's Day

These were our delicious cookies mom made and left out on the counter for April Fool's. The boys love Oreos and I love my boys. I love them so much that I helped them multi-task by replacing the creme with toothpaste so they could eat and brush their teeth at the same time! Their response? "Those cookies ou made sure were minty, Mom!"
