Economic Crisis Averted

Our country is in the firm grasp of an economic crisis, and it is at times like these that I like to bury my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening. Join me, won't you? I mean, I'm sure Jen will fix it anyway so it should be on the upswing pretty soon. Psst...get to work Jen. I have publicly called you out.

Kate and I discovered a 3 step process to forget about your retirement fund that's currently wasting away to nothing.

Step One: Take a 2 hour bath. Play with various kitchen items you've smuggled into the tub.

Step Two: Dry. Have your mom make loud farting noises to make you laugh.

Step Three: Nap. Preferably somewhere with good lighting.

See? It's so easy. Maybe someone should suggest it to Bush.

Naptime

What should really sell you on the picture is the solid drool line on his hand. Now that's a good nap.

Drool on, baby.

Because he's pretty cute...

...and because he was so good at church and did not scream and by doing so catapult boogers on my silk skirt (ahem, Kate)

...and because tonight he said "Why don't we take some pictures Mama? I will sit here. You just do the snap."

...and because right now he is downstairs trying to be a pirate with his very un-pirate sister.

...and just because he looks like he's currently strangling Kate doesn't mean he isn't the sweetest older brother.

...and because he is just basically an awesome kid.

Thanks for today, Colin.

The Weekend In Pictures

I bet this fish didn't have the best weekend. Well, I'm sure he told his friends "At least I made the weekend in pictures."

And just so you don't think it was all sweetness and light...

I want this exact shoot for my family

How cool is this?


The Whitney Clan from Michel Sandy on Vimeo.

Helps that this is one of my favorite songs. "Love is the answer at least to most of the questions in my heart. Like why are we here and where do we go and how come its so hard." Ah, Jack Johnson--why are you so awesome?

Help me...

...I have too much time on my hands in the morning.

(You'll also want to know that an hour later she had pulled them all out)

(Monique, check out the pig she's holding. Toddler shout-out to Maleia!)

Halloween?

Mostly this post is to get that freaky berry thing off the top of my page. But I've also been working on the kids Halloween costumes and want to know what you, my Internet peeps, are going to be for Halloween? Or are you just too adult for that?

This one is going to be a bee. With a tutu. Duh.

And this?

Well, this is just funny.

Add It To The List Of Things I'm Freaked Out By

This thing looks like a berry and a Venus flytrap had sex and left their love child by the side of the road. My mom and found it today and I swear it said "Feed me, Seymour"

Aren't you glad you came here today?

Um seriously, what the hell is that thing?

Jaded Smelly Punk Teenager

Doesn't she look like a jaded smelly punk teenager reading Rolling Stone? (or whatever it is jaded smelly punk teenagers read) Probably tells her us we don't understand her generation. She's going to want a tattoo before she's four. Oh my gosh, she's growing up so fast. Holy crap.

Oh wait. That's better. I just needed to fix her hair.

The Weekend In Pictures

This weekend in pictures is raaaaaaandom. Isn't it funny when the pictures you get are just the inbetween time?

Bathtime

Naptime

Dinnertime

Tutu time

How could we skip over tutu time?

Wish me luck. Tomorrow is booger library day. I have Wet Wipes.
