Too much catching up to do

I wanted to get these pics up for Cam so he doesn't miss seeing our cute faces while he's gone... I'll be updating later on when I have more time and more desire... Enjoy! Love you, Dad!

Ignore how bad the pics are, we just wanted to get some before the flight out, and Cameron took the camera... you know... blah blah blah...

Cam took Jace to a Thuggets game tonight so I got to work on a cute little summer thing after Campbell went to bed... here's my most recent craft, and it's complete!!! < there's a first!!

Jace has a yellow tongue

Jacer and Camper had popsicles before the boys left, but mostly we wanted to remember forever how bad Camp's hair is right now... Jace took a scissor to it a few days ago, and it only looks halfway decent when I put it in piggies, otherwise it's a complete mess... she took her hair out when we were outside playing this afternoon... nice!

I know you're jealous!!

This is my latest project. It has taken a few days cause I've only been able to work on it when the kids are in bed. Poor Cameron had to put up with the mess in our room for like a week! (Thanks, Cam!) It's not quite finished, but you get the gist of it...



Yesterday, the kids were just dying to get inside, so we set it up over our dining room table and had FHE inside the fort. It was really fun, but pretty squishy! Eventually I'll put together a cheap, easy table that's a bit taller to go in their room... they have bumped their heads a bunch already. I have to add some twill tape to all the edges, a Velcro closure for the door, and some tulle grass along all the edges, but then it will be pure awesomeness! You can make one yourself by going here for the directions: Make it and Love it She is one amazing crafter! I get quite a lot of inspiration from her!

Who says white boys can't jump?!! Jace was having a blast jumping around while Cameron watched a basketball game. I can't believe our camera got the shots!

Who came up with this crap?

Moon Sand, Moon Sand, the sand that you can mold.... la la la... how do my kids know the words to the ad? Anyway, my DEVIOUS baby brotha gave the kids some sand for Christmas this past year and we only pulled it out once before. I should have gotten rid of it after the first time, but somehow did not! (No offense Jeff!) My kids found it recently and have been begging to get it back out. So, this GREAT blue sand is sorta sticky, so you can mold it into whatever you can think of. My kids thought it would be best used sprinkled into the white carpet... thankfully, it vacuums up really well!

They had it all over their hands, under their nails and on their tummies, so we did baths right after.


A BIG shout out to Uncle Jeff for the 'awesome sand he gave us for a present!' - Love, Jace
Next year a stuffed animal or a toy car would be great! (hint, hint)

Boo, Hiss!!

And now I know why the kids were too cold to stay out in the rain... same day pics!! ICK!! The car was cleaned off halfway through the day and here's the car after 5 pm...A little while after we played out in the rain it started snowing, and it hasn't stopped snowing ALL afternoon and tonight. We really don't like snow in this house so we're a little bummed. Go figure, I packed all the snow gear away just YESTERDAY!!
We took the screen off the window in the upstairs bedroom so the kids could catch cotton ball-sized snowflakes... no worries, we didn't pull a Michael Jackson!!
