Piano Recital

Evan played "O Come All Ye Faithful" in his first recital last Friday night.
This was Meghan's third recital and she played "O Holy Night".

HO! HO! HO!

The Best We Could Do!

  

Outtakes:

Christmas Traditions

Time for school...

...and we're waiting for Meghan. As usual.

Evvy Ray Cyrus. (DadGUM he's fine!)

Target Halloween Clearance.  Craig says it's the best 80 cents he's spent in a long time!

 Seriously, Evan?!!  This is where you hang your mullet?!

This took me aback when I walked into the kitchen.  About 20 minutes earlier I'd been chastising Evan for twirling and tossing the mullet around, telling him he needed to take good care of his mullet or it would get tangly.  He took it to heart. ☺



The Hobbit Project

The Sixth Grade class did a major project based on the book, the Hobbit.  Each student was assigned a character.  Meghan was Bilbo Baggins.  Each student re-wrote a portion of the book from the point of view of their character.

Meghan (as Bilbo) reads her chapter to the kindies (see Tressa third from the left)!

Is This How I Taught You?

First Day of School

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

Meghan 6th grade, Evan 3rd grade, Tressa kindergarten!!

And to add to the excitement...

When I woke Tressa this morning I noticed she was missing a tooth!  Her first!  She was shocked!  I called to Craig and he said that her mouth did bleed the night before when he brushed her teeth.  So we're guessing he brushed that tooth right out and down the drain without either of them noticing.

Tressa is the Personification of Cuteness

Little Twinsies

My sister Katie and I get a big kick out of dressing our kids alike!

Charlotte, Tressa, Hayden, Noah

The Way Brothers Are, Part II

"In your face, Hayden!"  (evil laugh)

Who would you have left...

this crazy dude...

...or this sweet girl?

Don't answer that.

Tomorrow we get our sweet girl back from 2 weeks of camp!!

Gittin'er done

Define "fuel efficient"

I admit, when we pulled in to this Maryland rest area and saw the special "fuel efficient" parking lunacy, we added it to our list of reasons why we will NEVER live in Maryland.  Seriously, the hybrids get better parking than the handicappeds!

But then - GASP! - the unthinkable happened!  A conversion van pulled in to one of the special "fuel efficient" parking spots!  This scofflaw gave us a good chuckle.  Such bold flouting of greenie-nonsense should be applauded!

Tressa Never Saw It Coming

...but Meghan did.

"OH NO!  Here we go!"

And the front of the tube sank, causing the girls to plummet headlong into the lake!

Swimming back to the boat... Tressa sporting the "drenched-puppy" look.
