For all those who come to this happy place, Welcome!

 I'd forgotten I took these pics when we first bought the kids costumes. James loved being a Ninja and put on his costume everyday after school.  His mask is a black t-shirt. You can learn many things on the internet.  SHe has that glazed over stare down pat. Now we just need some glitter and sunshine.  She was pretty bummed her prop teeth didn't work out. She's been watching 101 Dalmatians for a few weeks now and calls her costume "Pongo"  This is way too true to life. She really thinks she's a dog some days.  Handsome Ninja. ka pow, ka chow!... I mean Kadush!

Here's my Abbey. so cute - and such a little stinker all in one.  I hear 'momma, you make me laugh' almost as much as I hear 'mom, your makin' me crazy'  Handsome boy! Can you believe he is already in 2nd grade? I love this one because it shows his cracked front tooth. You know how they say imperfections shows character. This boy oozes character.  He went to the dr.'s today for his infected toe and I took him out to lunch after. He got a Jamba Juice and we were sitting on a nice covered patio eating lunch and he said, 'This is the life. We should do this more often."  Here's the best of both of us. She is smart, cute, and fun to hang out with.   I just dread when sh...
