The girls realllllly wanted to make brownies. Samantha called their outfits, "uniforms."
Gavin is a rough sleeper. One morning, this is how I found him: in the recliner.
I let Gavin have his own bath, without his pesky sisters. He loooooved it.
Just hanging out after school one day.
One of the wreaths I have for sale in Brandon.
Another wreath.
A necklace I made.
Wide Awake Beauty. Get it? ;)
Yep... Another one!
I really hope things start to sell... I'm starting to get panicked.
Shots of my booth in Brandon.
My new license plates. Gotta love 'em.
He really likes high heels and purses.
In fact, most of the time, when I hear the click-click of shoes, I find him strutting around.
Maggie picked out her Halloween costume. She was allowed to wear it once, and now it has gone away until Halloween. I'm such a mean mommy. ;)
Today at McDonalds... getting rid of some of their energy.
The kids have been making me laugh as usual.
Sam: Mommy, why did you have children?
Me: Because I wanted to feel the most incredible joy, ever.
Sam: I'm not going to have children.
Me: Why is that?
Sam: I'm pretty annoying and I don't want to deal with it. You're a great mommy for having me, even when I'm annoying.
Me: Because I wanted to feel the most incredible joy, ever.

Sam: hey, mommy, you know how I look like you?
Me: I sure do.
Sam: Well, if the Beast and Belle have kids, and they look like the beast, does that mean they'll be really super hairy?
Me: Well, the Beast is a man when they get married.
Sam: Yeah, but boys are hairy, so they'll have hairy kids.
Me: I sure do.
Sam: Well, if the Beast and Belle have kids, and they look like the beast, does that mean they'll be really super hairy?
