Mr. Wilson!

We have new neighbors.  Mr. & Mrs. Wilson are in the process of moving in.  The other night I was telling Aaron, my husband, how funny I thought it would be if our kids always addressed our new neighbor as "Mr. Willllllssssssoooonnnnn!"  a la Dennis the Menace style.  Apparently my kids heard this because guess what I heard coming from our front yard today as they pulled into their driveway.

"Hey Mr. Wiiiillllllsssoooon!!!"

I didn't know if I should be embaressed by their lack of inhibition or grateful that are addressing their elders as "Mr.Wilson" instead of "Hey You"

Calories Don't Stick on Sundays

I have it on good authority that I should feel no guilt in eating chocolate chip cookies today for 2 reasons.
1.I walked home from church today, about 2 miles.  It was a nice day and apparently my husband never turned his ringer back on after church so I couldn't call him to come and get me from my meeting anyway.
2.Calories don't stick on Sundays.  Its true, Pam says so.

Anonymous Comments

Welcome to all of you that I apparently offended by speaking my mind.  While my comment came off as  "condesending and annoying" that was never my intention.  I did not comment in the spirit of contention or malace, I was just bringing up a different point of view. 
I kind of had the feeling that my comment would not be the popular idea on that blog but I chose to use my real google identy instead of hiding behind an anonymous comment. 
So, feel free to leave a comment on how terrible you think I am, I'll add it to my "very important file."

List 7 interesting Facts about myself

Then pass it on..

1. I've been married 10 years to a wonderful guy who works way too hard. 
2. I like to bake, sew, paint, glue & photograph stuff. 

3. I shoot babies.     ( I also shoot families, weddings, teenagers and children.)
4. When I was 7 years old I roller skated in a wheel barrel full of water. I broke my arm AFTER I got out and trip on the hose.

5. My husband says I make the best apple pie in the whole world and I don't even like apple pie all that much.  (And he isn't just being nice, he never lies about food.  He lets me know when something I make is yucky!)

6. I lived in the same house from the time I was born until the time I was married.  In the 10 years we've been married, we've moved 9 times. 
7. We bought a house last spring.  The plan is to stay here for at least 7 more years!  It will take us at least that long to finish all the projects.

2010's Valentines ( Just a little late)

I know Valentine's Day was a few weeks ago, but I thought I would share what we did for Valentine's this year.  I got the kids ready for church an hour early sometime in January and drug them all down to the studio.

I had each child draw a picture and sign their name on a piece of paper folded in half length wise.

I then turned all of their pictures into these adorable bookmarks, put thier hand drawn pictures on the backs and had them professionally printed.

 

I love them!  And its a good thing because I ordered too many.  I will never be without a bookmark again!

(This one I didn't order because I wanted them all to match, but I still like this one too.)

 

I have a secret blog

Thats right.  I have a secret blog.  A little while back, maybe a year or so ago, I was having a really tough time with a few things.  I needed a place to vent.  I needed a place to tell the universe that I was angry, sad, hurting, confused and probably just very hormonal.  I did not want to talk about these things with someone who knew me or my family.  I didn't want to say something that I truly meant in the moment but not 5 minutes later when I calmed down.   I could have written it in a diary or journal, but I wanted to tell someone.   So I created a secret blog.

I created a fake email, fake name, fake profile and created a secret blog.  I wrote a very dramatic blog entry.  I posted it for the world to see.  Then I signed out and cleared  my browser history.  And now, I don't remember my fake email, name, profile or blog address.  I couldn't find my fake blog if I wanted to.  I don't even remember what I wrote about mostly.  But it made me feel better.
