{our version}

...an iPad, a Leapster Explorer, 1 chair flipped over, 1 chair right side up as an ottoman, a Bible and these two are set for a wild and crazy superbowl party. We are party animals!

{small town Saturday night}

We took the kids bowling at the local alley. We were the only people there. These pictures are horrible but too cute all the same.

Tis the Season...or is it?

I don't know about you but I don't recall too many Dec/Jan days where we could be outside as much as we have been lately. The kids have loved it. And this little lady knows what preparation looks like when her siblings start grabbing socks, shoes and coats...she immediately runs to her room to grab her shoes and gets her coat off the coat rack. Who's to tell her no...

We are hoping for some snow this season though. We have our bibs, gloves, coats and sleds all ready.

{a Trip}

Dane recently went pheasant hunting over a long weekend. He tried to make me jealous that I was home with our children while he was out having fun by sending me pictures of his luxurious motel and room.

Motel...seriously? If you look closely, you can see flamingos in the grass as "decor".

and the room...4 beds?

I asked him kindly to stop sending me pictures. I couldn't take much more.

The kids and I ventured out to burn some energy. This is what we parked by at Target.  The kids wouldn't stop talking about it. "He" was from Montana and had a Christmas tree in the back of "his" truck. He just starred at us.

and then dad returned home with gifts in tow.

One fireman less his coat, one midget butterfly thingy and one majestic butterfly princess. Yes, a motley crew indeed.

{as Promised}

It's official, I couldn't find the missing tire. Just to bring you up to speed...Brady likes to remove tires from his little trucks and trailers and has so on several occasions. On two of those occasions (one being from the picture in previous post) Paisley has been in the vicinity when he has performed his tire removing ceremony. So, our theory is that she has now ingested 2 said tires the size of a cheerio. Just for the record, Dane has always been out of town when this happens, always. Seriously?!?!

The tire eater...and yes, that is chocolate from a cookie she was enjoying one day during our route home. See exhibit A in her hand!
