Thank you, MAC.

You were worth every penny. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have this:

I am soooo submitting this to awkwardfamilyphotos.com.

Mia, thank you for being Elphaba. Most girls would have wanted to be Glinda, the pretty, yet predictable, blonde who wears the pink ruffly dress and gets the guy (sort of). But not you, sweet Mia. You chose the complex, misunderstood, and not-so-obviously beautiful Elphaba. Keep thinking outside the box, sweet girl. You make your Momma proud.

Well, they call me the fireman, that's my name.

Actually, Bode was nothing until about 5 minutes before we left for the Fall Festival. I wanted him to be Tommy Lee, Andy was pushing for The Balloon Boy, and then I remembered that this lil' Wal-Mart special was still sitting in the closet with some things that I was hiding for a rainy day. Poor little second child.

He wanted to be a fireman all along, he just didn't know it.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Happy Fall Ya'll

CORRECTION: My mom did not make that cute shirt, Sada did! When I find something in Mia's drawer like that I automatically give Yaya the credit.

Now, the fact that a shirt was in her drawer that I had no recollection of is another issue all together....

Skirt and shirt brought to you by Yaya, the really crappy photography brought to you by yours truly.

Holy Guacomole

I ate my weight in this stuff. Just ask my jeans.
My hand looks abnormally large in this picture. I'm like the "man-hands" girl from Seinfeld.

Why my kids did not miss us.

Where there is Bode there are drums, one way or another.

Mia wore this old dress my mom made for my sister circa 1986 all day and slept in it two nights in a row. Thank you so much YaYa, DD, Ahmo, Aubrie, Grammie, and Boppy. We may have been in paradise but they were in heaven.

Need I say more?

It was wicked fun
