Poop Torpedo

Long time no blog!

Our internet has been out at home.

I've been wanting to tear my hair out.

Totally stressing about my clients and FB posting and not being able to blog.

I have so many pins that I've done!

Arg.

But you know what?

It has also been nice.

Hubs and I aren't standing at the computer all the time.

We've been spending more time with each other as a family.

Not just in the same room.

So nice.

I'm only here for a second.

At the library.

Just long enough to post a few new pictures on Facebook.

And a few pictures here.

For your enjoyment, here are some of Griffin watching himself in a video.

A seven minute monologue about a poop torpedo.

Truth.

I love his reactions.



No, he's not naked.

:)

Pray that the internet fairy comes to fix our router soon!

Oh Happy Day!

Pinned It, Did It, Done Friday - On a Sunday

I don't need to explain to anyone why I didn't post on Friday, right?!

Black Friday?

Still in a turkey coma?

Eh? Eh?

Anywho, I did want to share this pin that I tried because it was a huge hit with my family.

Pizza Rolls

Here's what you'll need:

Some pepperoni slices, a tube of crescent rolls, and some string cheese.

Seriously, just roll out the crescent rolls, slap some pepperoni on um,

and put a 1/2 stick of string cheese on top.

Roll um up.

Bake to crescent roll instructions.

BOOM.

DELISH.

Pinned it.

Did it.

DONE.

Angry Birds, Football, and Posey-Posey Pictures

Thanksgiving Day morning this year

was probably one of the most relaxing and fun

holiday mornings we've had in recent memory.

This kids played catch and Dominos and Angry Birds.

 We watched parades

 and football.

We ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast and pizza rolls for lunch.

 Then we had a Christmas Card Shoot.

With our blended family, there is always limited time to get some posey-posey photos of the kids.

Sitting on the couch, I was going over the time we had Rachael with us and when we could fit

a shoot in.

We literally had 45 minutes to do it.

I had the whole family dressed, camera ready, and on location in 20 minutes.

They were all really great sports and we got some awesome shots!

We played outside in the freak 65 degree weather then headed home to eat, drink, and be merry.

Well, Matt and I had a drink.

But we were all merry.

Happy TDay to you all!

Haunted House

9:23pm

(Griffin calling from his room)

"DADDY!!!!"

(Matt goes upstairs)

"Cassie! You might want to take a look at this!"

 "Look Mommy! Froggy's a ghost!"

"Give him a bath."

Giggles, photos, vacuum, stern talk, back to bed.

Oh Happy Day!

Wordless Wednesday

In the spirit of gratefulness

I am grateful for the small,

sometimes overlooked beauty,

that is all around us.

Oh Happy Day!

Pinned It, Did It, Done Friday

Pinned it, did it, done Friday...

(On Saturday)

I love Ashley Campbell.

Amazing mother, photographer, crafter, designer, & blogger.

She recently did a post about a journal of sorts.

I read that post, pinned it on my "DIY Awesomeness" board, and immediately started. 

I purchased a wee bitty composition journal at Walgreens for 99 cents. 

Then I did a little collage on the front. 

 And a collage on the back.

I love old school collaging.

The pictures are torn out of magazines,

the edges don't quite meet up,

the shiny packing tape.

Love it.

 On each page I gave the date, a simple explanation of what happened on that day,

and the first thing that comes out of Griffin's mouth when asked the same question every day.

"Babe, what was your favorite part of your day?"

 I love this.

It takes less than 3 minutes to do each day.

What a great way to see patterns of what he loves,

see how his vocabulary grows,

see how complex his memory evolves.

Pinned It. Did It. Done.

Oh happy day!

Wordless Wednesday

This is what a sunset looks like from my kitchen window.

Oh happy day!
