What the...?

What the shirt actually says...

What Savannah callls it for SOME reason..."My baby Jesus shirt." ???She was fascinated with the baby Jesus at Christmas and even now we must sing "Away in a Manger" (AKA The Baby Jesus Song) when we go to bed at night. But I have no idea why she thinks it is the baby Jesus shirt. Two-year olds - go figure!

Wordless Wednesday

"Hello? 3 little pigs? Yeah, we want to build a house..."

As I told a friend, it's that time of year for the "funk." Savannah was sick today with a fever and cough. I heard others have the flu or strep throat. As someone who works in a public school, I'm never surprised at what is going around or that my family or I have gotten the latest crud. Anyway...
I didn't feel like doing much at work today and the kids were getting on my nerves so I surfed the internet a good bit. We are finally (!) starting the house building process, so I was looking for some ideas. I think we have the house plan picked out but it needs some tweaking.
The whole process is really very scary. I only have to decide every single, solitary, minute detail of a major investment that I will have for the rest of my life! Top that off with my personality ("well, I don't know, I'm not sure, I need to think about it") plus Steve's personality ("this is how it is, it costs how much?! and too late I already picked burnt sienna") equals divorce lawyer on speed dial. Just kiddin- I hope.
So if anyone out there has some sage advice, you let me know. In the meantime, say a prayer for us as we get it underway....

"Kid Swap"

We had a good weekend. We "swapped kids" with some friends so we could all have a night out! Friday we went out to eat and had drinks with some "old and dear" friends. Brrr! It was a bit chilly, but we had fun and enjoyed our evening out on the town! It's fun to be reminded that living with someone bonds you to them for LIFE!
Saturday, it was our turn with the girls. Harper and Savannah are BFF, but let's face it...sometimes they act more like sisters! They were pretty good that evening, until Savannah got worked up about sharing the Barbie Princess dress. I mean, look at it! It has peacock feathers!Wouldn't you be upset, too?!?

What the...?

No folks, don't adjust your color settings. This pic was taken about a year ago at a conference. We were just some co-workers having a good time...kicking up our heels!
