Awesome Blog You Have to Check Out

OK, so I know I haven't posted in months, but I discovered this AWESOME blog that everyone should know about cause everyone likes getting free stuff, right? It's http://www.thriftynorthwestmom.com/ and there's Freebie Fridays and they keep track of when Old Navy Weekly refreshes and all kinds of other good deals. You have to check it out.

And maybe I'll actually post something worthwhile soon. Maybe. I'm kind of enjoying the freedom of not blogging. But I still love you all, really....

Brook had crazy hair day at school so we had some fun with some rubber bands and a crimper.

Grave Robbing

For those of you who don't live near me, there is a large cemetery about a half mile from my house. A small group of us go walking there most mornings, and after memorial day, there were so many pretty flowers that we just couldn't help ourselves. The whole place was just covered in flower pots. There was some good stuff out there! Fresh and silk flowers, small toys, baskets, vases--and what do the dead need them for anyway? My kids really had fun with some of the pinwheels out there too.


OK, really, a week after Memorial Day the cemetery asks for volunteers to come clear all the graves so they can mow the grass again. You can keep whatever you want, they just throw away the rest. Now all the porches around my building are covered in chrysanthemums. So here's to grave robbing!

Funniest Thing!

Last night as I was getting the kids to bed Anne Marie was sitting on Alex's bed. She tipped over and cracked her head on the wall. She looked at me with these big eyes and quietly said, "Ow." I laughed and laughed and laughed. (She's only 9 months.)

Birthday Video

Alex's birthday: This is Alex and friends at Jump on It. He spent most of the time crying that he was afraid, and after about an hour he decided it was okay to jump. Silly kid.



Note on the last post: The birthday cake was sand cake--trifle in a sand bucket with graham cracker crumbs for the "sand", the top of a pineapple, and yellow rice krispie treats with frosting faces for the Spongebobs. I am rather proud of myself for that one =o). Glad you liked 'em, Laura.
