help me with this child

I have lost my cell phone. I could blame myself. Most people would. But I like to think that Weston is the culprit. He may seem like an easy scapegoat, but once you understand his history of "stashing" you may wonder where the cell phone might turn up as well...

places I've found things:
- a sippy cup of grape juice in my underwear drawer
- Wes' toothbrush in the cubby seat of his bus
- balls in the toilet water, with the seat closed
- my wallet under the bathroom sink in my hairtie basket
- books in the trashcan
-Wes' entire magnet collection in the trashcan
- toys in Scott's book bag
- about 20 small toys discovered under the oven one day
- balls in the printer-ink compartment
- crayons in the printer paper storage compartment
- balls in my laundry basket
- balls in his laundry basket (daily)
- toys/anything in the bathtub (daily)

fun with dinosaurs

To speak to David's claim that this blog is a homage to Weston: yes, it is (mostly) pictures of Weston, but frankly no one wants to see pictures of me folding laundry or reading, or Scott at the bank or doing his homework. :) When Scott and I do super cool stuff and I approve said pictures of myself doing super cool things I will put those pictures up.

Wes Wes liked mommy's super healthy green drink, but mommy did not like how hard green drink is to clean off the kitchen floor once it dries.

We've had a lot of snow lately! I'd prefer if it never snowed, but Weston seems to like it. We play in the snow about 20 minutes every afternoon, and if Wes had it his way he'd never go inside, which usually happens when he decides his gloves are cumbersome and takes them off to grab the snow.

Christmas fun in California

We spent a wonderful Christmas in California this year with the Elmers. We were in Desert Springs at a Marriot and had fun hanging out, playing with Weston, swimming, watching movies, and playing group DS games.

I'm not sure what they're playing here, but it must be fun
(oh, and these are the CA Elmer cousins)

I'm so cool, and wearing the Christmas pants Grandma made

my cool Africa art

Scott's brother Mark served his mission in Mozambique and among many cool things given to us was this piece of art (forget what it's called). Kathy (Scott's mom) showed me how to sew a backing onto it and I hung it up in our room today. Wanted to show it off (mostly for mom to see, since she asks for pictures.)
