Shoe Fetish.

I always loved when all the kids went throgh their shoe fetish and put on anyones shoes while they paraded (usually)half naked through the house. Jack has been going through his shoe fetish for quite awhile now and we have all got a chuckle out of him. We laugh so hard when he puts on bridgers tennis shoes or daddy's water-wading boots that he can't even move in, let alone walk. But the other day, I was minding my own busniess (doing laundry I think- what else is new?) when in walks Jack.

Another Host Post

Awhile ago I posted about The Host, a Stephenie Meyer book. I just fell in love with Twilight and had just read the first 3 books (the 4th wasn't out yet) when The Host came out. I devoured it and look forward to the next 2 books coming out (not for awhile yet). I LOVE apoctolyptic stories. This one was probably was one of my favs. And now the big news........................The host is gonna be made into a movie. Not sure how they'll do it with 2 souls in one body- but you bet I will be there to see it!!! (Probably more excited about this movie- than I was Twilight- okay its' about even!)

Whats-her-name.

First Carli went through the Hanna Montana phase.

Then it was the ICarly phase.

Now it is the Selena Gomez phase. She thinks that Selena Gomaz is the most awesome pre- teen queen ever. I have to agree, she is pretty funny- even to me.

Carli and I talked about what she wanted to be for halloween and I said, "Do you want to be.... whats -her- name from The Wizards of Waverly place. Carli just spit out, "SELENAGOMEZ!" as soon as I asked her and then gave me a big cheezy grin.

She even tucked a photo of Miss Selena in her piano music folder. I remember my obsession with actors/actresess and just giggle under my breath. If her pre-teen years start now wen she is 8- then how many more years do they last??? (Sigh...(giggle)....Sigh)

Bridger-isms.

Bridger has been super funny lately. He is just in that cute- kid stage where he understands so much- but still lacks the vocabulary to get his point accross completly.

This morning about 5am he comes into our bedroom because he just woke up. He was super tired and so I told him to go sleep in the spare bedroom (which is right next to our bedroom) because there is no room in our bed (Keep in mind that this is the kid that likes to spread out!) I hear him in there crying and getting upset. So I get up and go in there, only to find that Carli has made herself cozy on one side of the bed. Bridger is crying because he doesn't wanna sleep by Carli.

Me: Bridger, Why don't you wanna sleep by Sissy?

Bridger- Because it's borrrrinnng.

Wow- I didn't realize that was a valid excuse. (I'm usin' that one on my hubby- lol)

Bridger went to a birthday party today and brought home a sack of candy. Amongst the different pieces of goodies, there were several pieces of sour- coated licorice. Bridger ate one piece and made a face. Carli asked if he was gonna eat anymore and he said, "No, it's too spicy."

Takin' Care of Business

Is there a problem with teaching them early-on how to multi- task?

Back to School Daze.

The kiddos and I get soooo burnt out last year wth school and school activities. I am so glad that we had a nice sumer break, so when school started last week, at least I was ready for it. The kids were another story. I was told every time I asked about school that my kids did not like it. (to put it mildly) (Did I mention that last year was tough???)

I got an idea from reading Nienie to have a back to school party. Here and here are hers. I thought it was a wonderful idea and even though the kids himmed and hawed about having one- I think that they thought it as fun too.
I wanted the theme to be centeed around Pres. Hinkley's 6 Be's. But we really didn't get to discuss it b4 chaos broke loose.

I made them crowns, but my kidos decied that they were too old for crowns- boo!


I found these cute baskets and hot dog tray awhile ago at Target and was waiting for a fun evening to use them. We have hotdogs,fries, tater tots (at Carli's request).....

and tiny cans of pop!

A school bus cake topped off our evening !

After dinner, we played the board game of, "Are you Smarter than a 6th grader"

So far so good with school this year.
