Chaos

280/365

Everybody was happy to celebrate Grandma's birthday. 

Added bonus I got my laundry done. My washing machine took to smoking and it's so not attractive. My parents graciously allowed me to do my laundry there and we got to see the pup.

 

He may have had mixed feelings about the visit.

The air was pink...

 While we were driving up the mountain the air was pink. 

The sunset demanded to be documented. 

It's not the best but it's still pretty. 

outage...

278/365

The power went out right before bed. The kids were a little freaked. I am not sure why all my kids are so scared of life but it reminds me of someone I used to know. ;) 

In an effort to make them like power outages we shared some peanut brittle and got the lights we use int he bathtub out to make some magic. 

That's a heart by the way. 

A great day of conference (the kids did really well) and fun with the family. 

Painting with light. 

At the teddy bear picnic...

 Moonpie is so not sure about this. This one of our nurses who loved us. :)

 They loved the chickens. At one point I saw a chicken peck at Moonpie's mouth and I braced myself for the shocked cry but instead he just smiled at me and said, "chicken kissed me." Yup. That's exaaaaaactly what it did.

If I had a pen full of animals, I think my kids would be happier. 

I love the preemie picnic. Not only do we get to hear conference on the drive, and I mean we get to hear it because kids are strapped in their seats and usually quiet. (except when moon pie cried and screamed about being stuck this time.) 

We also get to say hi to some of the people who made life possible for these two. What could be better than that? 

A pen full of animals, but there was one there so no worries! 

I realized too late I am not very good at photographing events. I am usually too preoccupied by who has gone missing and where they went. I should've gotten a picture of the boy playing with my friends little girls. He talked about her all the way home and all afternoon. 

*sigh* Oh well, a goal for next year.

Accordion wrestling...

276/365

Today while we waited for the bus the boys wrestled the accordion. 

We waited for a good 30 minutes or so.

I practice my ukulele while we wait. It's improved my playing. Practice is funny like that. 

We waited some more. 

Me: When you guys get older would you like to learn how to play the piano?

Moonpie: Yeah!

The boy: I'd rather learn how to play this. (the accordion) 

We might have a loud future. 

Still waiting for the bus. 

I decided that maybe I should look in his backpack. 

Fall break started to day and school pictures were Thursday. 

Oops.

Dog days...

275/365

It's hard to believe our dog days are almost over. Come this weekend we will go from 6 dogs to 1 again. The kids are going to miss them so much.

Cosmic bath

My kids love these little waterproof LED lights.
