Friday, January 18, 2008

I just read a blog where someone was saying that everyone always posts only happy stuff, family trips, kids smiling, you know the perfect family memories, but no one ever writes about the negative things in life. Well I, for one, will continue to post only our happy perfect family moments, and some not so perfect, but I will not complain on my blog because for one, there is enough negativity on the internet and everywhere else. Two, because Josh looks at this at work and I don't want to bring him down while at work, this is meant to be a "pick-me-up" for him. When he is having a crappy day and needs to see his smiling kids and wife, this blog will be there for him. So there, continue to enjoy our happy family moments. :)

Our Zoo trip

We went to the zoo today! We got all three car seats in the back of my car! Barely, it might not have been legal but all kids were safe. Paige thought it was pretty cool to have someone right next to her.
Aunt Janna showing Peyton the lions. The male lion was walking around and putting on a show for us.
Paige loves to show off. She had a good time showing off another headband that mommy made.
Peyton showing off his independance after standing by the ice cream cart staring at all the choices.
Allie has finally crashed by this point and Paige is getting ready to, notice the look on her face, she is done with the zoo.

Newest Hobby

I love finding new hobbies to do after the kids go to bed. It makes me happy to make beautiful things. And I think bows are beautiful especially when they are on top of Paige's beautiful head! Have I gone overboard? Ask Josh. I'm pretty sure I am obsessed with bow-making now. There is so much you can do and I feel very accomplished when I finish a bow. Of course all of the bows I make for Paige have to be attached to a head band because of her lack of hair, but the big poofy bows sure make up for it! And she doesn't mind it so much. And while she could care less what's on top of her head I am going to go bow crazy before she is able to take it off. My sister, Ashleen, told me that in 2nd grade she my mom would put big bows in her hair and she would take them out before she got to school so no one would make fun of her for it. So at least I know I've got until then to do this to Paige. Girls are fun.
