Disney on Ice

What. Could. Be. Better!!

This was so much fun. Mac LOVED IT!

We went back in May with our friends Brandy and her son Garrett.

We were on the second row from the ice so we got to see everything up close and personal!

The pictures aren't great but here are some of the things we saw.

Mickey and the gang...

Mater and McQueen were a huge hit...

Ariel and the Prince (talk about up close and personal...)

Woody, Buzz, and all the toys from Andy's toy box. And Andy too!

The kids were so impressed! Even LP!

And the big ending... everyone came back out to wave goodbye!

Popcorn, 100oz sprite, a sword, and a 5x7 picture with your best friend... what kid could ask for more!

Well mine but whatever...

Hair today, Gone tomorrow

My sweet, precious, darling son decided yesterday that he was tired of his hair being in his eyes. So when teacher turned her attention to a situation with a child going, erm, potty Mac turned his attention to her... wait for it...

Scissors.

Everyone likes a "take charge" kinda person but this might qualify as a bit precocious. A little too take charge...

His teacher asked him why he did it and he said "I'm tired of my hair getting in my eyes."

Mom Fail.

He told me a couple of times that he wanted a haircut. I never took him. I was going to trim his bangs and never did. I didn't want to cut any length off because, well, um, I LOVE his long locks AND because, well, um I had come up with the second(we will never top Chunk from the Goonies) awesomest Halloween costume ever. He WAS going to be Don Dawson from Dazed and Confused...

See the feathery 70's resemblance...(minus the chocolate chip lip)

Now we are destined to be a Biff Tannen... ugh. Super frowny face.

He is the first character that popped into my head when I saw the hair massacre on Mac's head.

Oh well, I'm sure he will be a ninja turtle anyway and they don't even have hair.

To the barber shop...

Toothpaste...

it's not just for cleaning teeth anymore! No, not only can this wonder product put a shine on a mouth full of teeth it can also STYLE your sisters hair!

Who knew??

Mac knew.

However. This was not the first attempt at toothpaste hair styling. Oh no. Here is the first toothpaste hair do.

So as you can see there is clearly a technique here. Less is definitely more when it comes to toothpaste hair styling. In the second attempt he used much more which clearly weighed the hair down and did not give it the "spike" effect that he was going for and expertly achieved in his first run.

There you have it folks. One toiletry item, two uses. Just careful on the amount.

May your teeth be shiny and your hair be minty fresh...

Hippity Hoppity 2013

So I made a list of all the "Catch Up" posts I need to do to feel a sense of being caught up on major events. There are 6, including this one. So let's hop too!

Easter 2013 was fun! I don't know where any of the pictures from Pearl's Easter Egg Hunt are currently living. Cyber space or on an SD card in my mother's camera never-the-less here are pictures from their Easter photo shoot!

And what photo shoot would be complete without bloopers!!

Not to worry... both rabbits are fine!

Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day was a lot of fun! My family always knows how to bring on my special day!!

I was taken to Cool River for brunch before heading off to church.

I got a new phone that day and I don't have many pictures because I couldn't figure out how to work it!

I'm not sure what was happening to the baby in that last picture but she is fine.

In addition to my phone I got some starter money for a purse that I had had my eye on for a while and then about a week later I got the rest of the money! Then I ordered my new baby and waited...

Isn't she beautiful!! It's nice to splurge every once in awhile.

Show Some Love

>Valentine's 2013 was one for the record books people. I have NEVER in all my " " years seen such an obnoxious display of candy coated spoiling efforts on two kids, ages 8 months and 3 years.

And that did not include what was brought home from school!

Next year they will have to share a marshmallow heart and be happy about it since this year they raked it in! (yeah right) Like I have that kind of restraint, not to mention the lack of control over the Granmothers and Great Grandmothers and the Great Aunt and Second Cousin...whew.

Here is what they got from us, the parents. Please don't pay too much attention to Lynnlee's unfinished Valentine Mail Box. It's finished now and ready for 2014 OK!

Those mailboxes are full of candy and puffs for the appropriate recipient and possibly some sort of toy :)

Her first Valentine card, so happy she could just eat it...

Mac got surprise Valentine balloons!

And he had some help with his card from his Daddy

Enter the Valentine's sent via USPS. (These were opened Valentine's night thus the pj wardrobe continuity issue on Mac.)

Didn't you buy them Valentine pjs? YEP! And they were in the dirty clothes thankyouverymuchforasking.

So in my head I was going to get some really cute pictures of the kids with the balloons before school in their Valentine clothes... HAHAHAHAA. whew. Must have been drinking Irish coffee that morning.

Me too Mac.

Catch ya on the flip side...
