Today

I'll start with the answers to the Friday Fun Questions.  

Picture #1 was Cole's tooth which met up with the sidewalk real hard.
Here's hoping that it doesn't fall out and possibly changes back to white!
Picture #2 is Aidan's mouth.  He received a plastic egg at school and unbeknownst 
to me he suctioned it to his face, hard, for a long time.  So he is now the proud owner 
of a giant face hickey.  

It' difficult to pick a winner, but I'm going to say  Mom because Aidan has already promised her one free super-sage, so I'm off the hook for prizes.

Yesterday Asher and his friend Jake went for a bike ride and found some old wood
in a vacant lot.  They brought it home, got out some of Scott's nails and hammers and
went to work building themselves a bike jump.  Here they are proudly displaying their finished
product.

 Here's Asher going off the jump on his new bike that he saved up to buy. (fyi His bike is the same size as his old bike BUT, it has pegs people). The jump lasted for a good 1/2 hour and then broke.  
I appreciated their ingenuity and "green" vision.


Lastly, notice the picture of the moon at the top of my blog.  It was suppose to have one fantastic owl in the picture too, but it had flown the coop.  We had a fabulous owl perched on our roof night before last.  We heard it hooting while we were in the office and I couldn't believe it when I ran outside and saw it just sitting on our roof with the full moon behind it.  However, I could not get my camera to take a picture of an object that far away with so little light and while I was tinkering it very quietly without my noticing flew away.  So, in my disgust I took a picture of the moon.

Games & Magic

Aidan has come up with a new game, and I like it!  When we are running errands I occasionally have a stop that will just be really quick, so Scott stays in the car with the kids while I run in thereby saving time and sanity ( I guess it just saves my sanity, not Scott's).  Anyhow, this happened just the other day, 2 stops I would quickly run in and one everyone was invited.  

When I got to the first stop Aidan tells me, "If you hurry fast enough Mom, you will win a prize!"  So Scott helps him time me and I hurried.  Sure enough I won the prize!!  He tells me I've won a "super-sage" (like massage, but minus the mass and replace it with super). Hmm, that sounds interesting.  

Next store, same routine, if I beat the clock the prize is mine.  I win again- another super-sage. When we got home I was running around pretending to accomplish much and Aidan kept asking "Are you ready for your super-sage Mom?"  I put him off 3 or 4 times and finally he caught me sitting at the computer and asked again.  

Why did I put this kid off!  Do you know what a super-sage is?  It is fantastic!  He started by rubbing my hair, then my neck, my back, my arms, my fingers, my legs, my toes, my eyes, my nose, my knees, my stomach and my ears.   

That my friends is a super-sage, and I have one more to cash in.  
Can't wait. 
I'm going to take this kid and his stopwatch to town more often. 

I knew it would happen sooner or later.  Chloe was holding Grace while she slept and this was the result.  Hot pink nails.  I have to admit, they are cute on her little fingers.  
This outfit may look like just one cute little stripey baby outfit, but it's not- it is a MAGIC outfit.  Molly let me borrow it, but she didn't tell me of it's magical powers.  You see, whenever Grace wears this little number, she does a MAJOR number.  That's right, this outfit + Grace = onesie in the trash & baby in the bath.  



"oh oh she's magic- you know!"  I've got some powerful stain remover-  no worries Molly.

Guess Who Came to Visit?

Can you guess from this picture who came to visit?  


That's right- Jen!!!
Of course I talked her into helping us do one of her cute crafts.  These are Chloe, Asher, and my bunnies respectively.  It was a quick visit and I'm short on sleep, but oh I love it when a sister comes to visit.  Thanks Jen, love you.
