Funny

So my number one girl posted the worst photo of me on her blog. So here is my turn on the funny photo. I did I little silliness on photo shop. I’m sure it will give everyone a smile!!!

This is a great photo of both of us and was from last year at the beach!!! Love ya girl.

we are off

Here we come ready or not

Today the countdown is over, The kids and mommy have been waiting for this day for several weeks. We are off to see good Friends in Maine. There home is very orderly so this will be interesting for them to have a 15 mo old hanging out for several days. So today the kids are "packing" I think everything but there desk chairs. Mommy is going to have a work out packing everything in the car and keeping Regan happy. A big thank you to our house/pet sitters we could never go away and leave them with just anyone. We hope to leave when rob gets out of work.

Slime

I have been watching a friends kids for the past few days. As you can imagine I have been running out of ideas to keep all 5 happy. Today while Regan was napping the rest of us made slime. The kids were great they all followed the directions well, 4 batches of slime in one shot. They played with it so long that I started this scrapbook page. The words are word they said while playing. Good group of kids. I have to thank E for the recipe it is a staple in our house.
