"Not subject to misinterpretation or more than one interpretation"

This is so geeky of me, but I can't believe 'stick-to-itiveness' is an actual word in the dictionary.  Were 'tenacity' and 'perserverence' just not enough for people?  That's right up there with making 'hella' a synonym for 'extremely' or 'surpassingly'.  It just.... mmph. 

Also, I was on the phone with my mom tonight while she was in Toys R' Us, trying to figure out what to get the kids for Christmas.  I told Colton what she was doing when I said goodnight to him, and his response was, "Umm, obvious!"  I asked him what he meant, and he said, "Hot Wheels!" in his most 'obvious' tone, with the most 'obvious' look on his face.  I mean, he's a good-natured kid and he didn't say it with attitude or anything, but... how do they go from being little kids to being people so quickly??

Three Things!

Firstly, I introduce Luke-a-saurus Part III, made for Luke's 2nd birthday.  I don't want to sound overly confident, but I like this one!  Makes me feel better about Luke-a-saurus Part II, the first hat I ever made, which can now retire into rookie oblivion.  

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, I would like to introduce Uncle Cupcake. 

 

 

 

Saw him on a profile pic on Facebook and showed him to the kids.  Shawn said, "Hey, guys?  I want to show you a picture of someone special.  This is your uncle that you never knew about.  His name is Uncle Cupcake, and he's coming over tonight to meet you!  Only he doesn't sleep well on the couch, so he'll want to sleep in your firetruck bed in your room."  Every time Abby barked outside that night, we would say, "Oh!  Uncle Cupcake must be here!"  Unfortunately, Shawn messes with the boys so often that they really don't scare easily.  His last-ditch effort was to make this mask at work, wait until nightfall, and sneak around to the back of the house to knock on the sliding glass door until they answered....  

 

I think he should have at least changed his work shirt.  They barely even flinched.

  

 

 



And lastly, I now have three helpers in the kitchen.  Total chaos, but they love it.
