Let's celebrate Dr. Seuss's B-day.

Hi I am Cindy Lou Who! Shaylee came to school today dressed up as one of the characters from Dr. Seuss. She was pretty proud of the way she looked. When she looked in the mirror after Mom was done she said, I look Dang cute. Of course, Mom always agrees. Everyone made a big deal at school over Shaylee's hair and that just added to her big head head or hair I should say. We love showing school spirit and like to go all out. By the end of the day her head hurt because the cup (which is hidden under the hair) was digging into her head. When I picked her up from school she had the whole thing taken out. All my hard work down the drain. J/K

Holy EGG!

I think one of our chickens was constipated but not anymore. Let's just say that we found this egg in our chicken coup and can't believe it could have possibly came out of a chicken. There must have been some serious straining going on to lay that sucker. We had to show everyone the "dinosaur egg" as we like to call it. It is unbelievable but it is the truth.

Can I have this Dance?

Thanks to Grandmother Great Arrington my children have become quite the dancers. Shaylee and Blake have been studying the movie "The 12 Dancing Princesses" and finally have their moves down. I caught them in the family room working on their routine and I had to capture the moment. They were actually quite good and really were doing some great moves. Grandma Great would be proud. Shaylee would even correct Blake on where to place his hands.

Baby it's COLD outside

Emma did not like the snow. She came outside and picked up a big handful in her hands then realized it was way too cold. She just started crying and wanted to go back inside. So much for a fun playdate in the snow. Fire here we come!

Blake and Shaylee did not let the cold stop them. We made a little snowman. I don't know how people make snowmen in Missouri. I could not get the snow to stick together. We had to get pitchers of water and pour it on the snow then hurry and form into balls. Utah snow is much better Corene. I think we will stick to snowmen making in Utah. It was hard work for a little amusement. The kiddos loved it though and I guess that is all that matters. It is pretty sad when you have to use little pebbles for the eyes.

What are you Looking At!

"I know I am having a bad hair day, but leave me a lone and let me listen to my music." Emma was so funny just wanting to listen to my MP3 player like she was a big girl. Yes and her hair is disgusting, but it just doesn't lay down. This is exactly why her hair is always done, letting it be natural just won't do.
