Mook matches my bedroom

We had to show our house today- the people were in and out in 6 minutes...not a good sign. Anyway, our bedroom was nice and clean and Meny made a perfect addition to my throw pillows.Then I thought I'd try to recreate the cutest baby picture I saw in a little shop downtown. It was a baby hanging in a netted fishing bag. This was the best I could do with my little piece of net.

Fake laughs

Do you have one? I have a pretty good one, but poor Jeebs, his is hilarious. I can always tell when Jeebs is talking to a woman from work that thinks they are so hilarious because he'll give his "I'm trying to be nice and laugh at your non-funny comment that apparently you think is so funny" laugh. I always have to laugh at his courtesy laughs. He thinks so few people are genuinely funny- he says he thinks I'm funny, but I know better. I know his laughs.

Hey Catnip

I finally got with it and bought the Hunger Games. I bought it Monday and finished it on Tuesday, then got the second book on Wednesday and finished it today. I immediately went and got the 3rd book. I haven't started it, but I am hooked. Good story- love it.

Cagey's day

My little Ragin' Cajun is 6 today. We started his day with a trip out for breakfast at Sea Glass Cafe. He wanted to go for their huge waffles...and he filled every hole with maple syrup. He only ate half of it, Ezra devoured the other half. Ezra also ate the other half of my wrap (note to self: do not order Ezra his own food)

Yesterday the kids and I made all the birds and piggies for Cagey's angry birds cake. It turned out pretty dang cute. It's all in the eyebrows. After lunch Cagey got a surprise balloon bouquet from Grandy-ma, complete with a bag of starbursts Cagey said were just to weigh them down.

Cagey got a new PS3 game and a new track he's been wanting. He's playing the game as we speak and the track is sitting by itself in the middle of the living room floor. Oh and a bottle of chocolate syrup for chocolate milk- he's already had 3 glasses. We finished the night with 5$ Little Caesar's pizza and bowling. Cagey loves bowling- by the end of the game everybody had either pitched a fit or was in the process of pitching a fit except for poor Cagey. Of course there was his angry birds cake. Cagey and his games!I hope he enjoyed his day of not having to get clothes out of the dryer because it's all over tomorrow hehehe.I bowled with Meny in the Moby and I got 2 spares! woohoo!

Poor daddy

I'm just curious as to how my kids see the world. Not even "the" world, but their world more specifically. At dinner time Meny has an internal clock that says, "time to scream my head off because I smell something that doesn't smell like what I'm getting." (or something to that effect) So, almost every dinner I sit at the table, the baby propped precariously on one knee, foot propped on something else so I can raise the baby enough to the exposed feed bag so she can eat while we're eating. I've already made the meal, usually put it all out on the table, set the table and everybody just has to come in, serve themselves and eat the slop. A couple of nights ago I made my most excellent homemade flour tortillas and greek style hamburger meat- complete with all the toppings to make gyros. (it sounds weird, but homemade pita bread required a 500 degree oven and that ain't happening) I get everything and everybody settled and the mooks starts her little song. Since I was already eating and he had not yet sat down Jeebs scooped her up and tried to soothe her. She wasn't having it so he slipped outside into the heat because that's where she likes it. As soon as he closed the door Taylor pipes up with, "poor daddy."

Today we sit down to eat. Jeebs had put some chicken and bbq sauce in the crockpot- one of Taylor's favorite things. He made rice and heated up frozen corn and rolls to go with it. He seems to always make Sunday lunch because he has more time in the morning to throw something in the crockpot or I usually have to sit down and nurse a baby directly after church and nobody wants to wait for that. Soooooo, after everyone had filled their plates and the prayer had been said, he got a "thank you daddy" from Taylor and Cagey. I didn't pay much attention (because I wasn't sure what they had thanked him for) until Taylor says, " isn't anybody going to thank daddy for this delicious meal?" Somebody knife me...please. Oh and Jeebs, thank you for that wonderful meal.

ps I really am grateful to Jeebs for his Sunday dinners

I tried and I tired hehehe

Meny mook looks so cute in her new gymbo outfit complete with red bow stuck on her head with karo syrup. She was not happy about it though. I tried and Tates was a good sport to pose with her screaming little sister. I forgot how fun dressing and accessorizing little girls is. Tates does not let me accessorize her.

Dollarsssssssss

Cagey lost his first tooth the other night and in true Cagey form he just popped it out and calmly said, "my tooth came out." Also in true Cagey form after examining the hole in his gum I could see his permanent tooth already peeking through behind the tooth next to the newly lost tooth. I guess he'll be losing another one very soon. He kept talking about the tooth fairy bringing him "dollarssss" and slurring his s through his newly made hole. Then he asked "Wouldn't it be cool if I had a thousand teeth and they all fell out at once and the tooth fairy had to bring me a thousand dollarsssss?" Yes, Cagey it would be nice.
