Fantistic Photo's

Photo's from an ice-storm we had... BEAUTIFUL...

Coiffeur Folie

So I went all Britney Spears on my hair today (luckily my madness was generally focused on the "bangs" portion of my hair). I'm wondering if this isn't just a little, tiny bit a result of my control issues? Nah... its more the "anything you can do I can do better" thang, right? I mean, why pay 40 bucks when I can do it in my bathroom for free?

I know, RIGHT?

Annual Sorci Egg Fight...

And the winner is...

Grace holds the unbreakable egg and holds the 2008 title!

It was touch and go between Grace & Megs, but G-Love prevailed!

Money attempts to steal the win but fails miserably.

Moosh v. Z (Megs pulled out the win)

Happy Oestre

best line of the day...

"He couldn't penetrate the double team!"... and the runner up is "If you ever want to know what it feels like to be that high... just ask that guy... he's that high all the time". No, I haven't been watching skinemax, those gems are from the Duke v. WVU basketball game. Soo much material... soo worth listening to... I'm sure that I'll be back with more later!


Ohh, oh, oh... I almost forgot! Another fantabulous line (from Miss Grace). I'll set the scene. We were at the Sweeneys (surprise) and the kids were bickering (super surprise) and Josh kicked Grace (anger issues?) and she started crying (drama issues?) and she goes up to David and says, "Josh kicked me and it really hurts" and Davids all "Well, where'd he kick you, sweetie?" and she's like... "In the balls". Seriously. I'm still frickin' laughing my ass off over that one... From your lips, Gracie!

My American Girls

The Girls were very happy with their gifts from Nana & Papa. I cannot, for the life of me, remember what they've named them but it's something like Sally and Allison... well, maybe.

my girl wants to potty all the time...

We had much fun at the Sweenys last weekend! The kids put on little shows for us which included singing, dancing and
all around merry-making! I only wish that I could have recorded it! Next time, perhaps? Well, love to you all... chat soon!

I is boring...

This is what happens to a three year old when Kelly speaks.

ah may'd dis

Sorry 'bout the title but I cannot stop speaking in Tard Moddle ... it is catchy, no? Megs loves her little teddy-bear, which she has named "Izzy" mostly because while I was knitting it she was 'splainin' all the things the bear would do and what he would be wearing (why? I don't know) and I was only half paying attention and just kept saying "Is he?" whenever she would pause. Thus, Izzy was born. Is cute, yes?

You're adopted!

This is from the Crazy Cat Pics site that Stacey turned me on to... OH MY GODDESS this is soo fucking funny!!!

Bush Fucked Us...

... and how.

Jumpin' Jehovahats!

I just had some really nice Jehovah's Witness Ladies come to my door. And I would be lying if I said that I wasn't just a little bit scared of these retardedly full of Jesus' love bible pushers (for the record... theirs is the only "real" bible, although they refer to it as the "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures") COO-KOO! Did you know that there will be everlasting peace on earth for us all. How quaint. Personally, I was looking forward to the lake of fire... all the cool people would be there... and I was going to bring the wine. Now that's fucked. Ah well, whachya gonna do. They promise to stop by at a later date since I wasn't able to chat too long with them, what with all the babies and animals running around my house. They referred to me as "Earth Mother" at first but I cleared that whole misunderstanding up when I proclaimed that Jesus was as much the son of God as I am (and for the record... I'm the favorite) and that while the bible is certainly an interesting read (if you can get past all of the "begets/begot" crap) it was not only written by men but it was also assembled by them... and sorry, but I don't believe most of what men proclaim/say/do/write/emote particularly when you're talking religion or politics. Rat Bastards, all of them. J.C. excluded, of course (but then, he didn't write anything in the bible now, did he?) Anyhoo, hurry back soon ladies...

I am the knitting king... I can do anything...

I just made this hat for the Megster yesterday (it was super quick and easy) and I absolutely LOVE it!









The earflaps are adorable and the bottom is braided if you can't tell.

















You can also make this w/out the poofy ball on top and w/ hanging strings in leau of the braids (for a boy) if any of you are flirting with the idea of taking up knitting!

My name ith Maggie Thowthie

This is so cute... even better that they forgot the words! Megs tooth fell out last night; another trip from the tooth-fairy!

I'm Calibrating my Whammy

Seriously, this is what Zackary told me when I found him on his XBox twenty minutes after his hour was up "Mom, I'm calibrating my Whammy.... it's not like I'm actually playing a game." (and trust me, there was an implied "DUH!" following that sentence). WTF? OHHH... you were calibrating your whammy... well, why didn't you just say so in the first place because it's common knowledge that ones whammy simply must be calibrated on a regular basis.

Henceforth this will be my go to phrase whenever someone inquires as to what it is that I am doing.

Call me Madame President

It is really difficult to explain to your 8 year old daughter how all persons are equal in this great country of ours when only 7% of our Congress is made up of women (68 in the House of Representatives and 14 in the Senate). This is especially concerning and confusing considering that women account for over 50% of the population... why wouldn't we represent at least 50% of our Congress? That is a tough question to answer, lemme tell ya. The girls are very excited that we have a woman in the primary at this time... they find it very unusual that this is a first and they do not seem to understand my explanations thus far... Grace says that when she's a grown-up there will be a LOT of women presidents - here's hoping!!

Help me Obi-Won

She wanted her hair done like a princess for the birthday party we're going to this afternoon. I chose Princess Leia. How friggin' cute is she? Until she asked "Who's Princess Leia, mommy?"

OHM... OHM... OHM...

So, I get out of the shower and walk into my room and there is Gracie... getting her meditation on. How bizarre? I asked what she was doing and she said "I'm meditating Mommy" and I'm all "How are you meditating Gracie?" and she replied with "I found my center of gravity" so I'm like, "Hmm, okay... sounds about right to me honey. Please do continue." She's just so Zen.
