Color me...ORANGE

Oh Elizabeth...*sigh* This little girl has REALLY been pushing to drive me TOTALLY over the edge over the past few weeks. Almost every day she is DESTROYING something and making insane messes! This one is a fave occurance of mine. I was gone visiting my neighbor Kristine for about an hour, when I walked back in my front door there she was. Sitting on the carpet right inside the front door...surrounded by about 4square feet of orange fingerpaint RUBBED INTO THE CARPET AND HER BODY. I certainly don't blame Josh, he was just on the other side of the room and she can make incredible messes in ANY small amount of time when your back is turned!! Now he sure understands how easily she sneaks in her evil actions!!! LOL

She was NOT happy about getting busted!

Yeah, she painted her left leg all the way around.

Her clothes were covered too, but luckily

it was washable paint and it came out of the

carpet and her clothes REALLY easily!

My little Oompa Loompa!

She looks so thrilled right?

You should have seen her FREAK out

when I had to take her upstairs and scrub her down.

You would think I used acid and a wire brush!

WOWZA can that girl scream!

If we all make it to her 3rd Birthday in June I will be

SHOCKED!!!!! :D

Dress-Up

My poor little brother went through this same thing...

it is a scary thing being the only boy with a bunch of

sisters...a scary, scary thing!!!

ALL kinds of crazy comes out when the kids

start digging around in the dress-up box!

Those are some cute kids...well, freaky, but cute!

Yes, Sam is wearing the Little Mermaid costume

Izzy has been watching the Barbie movie "A Mermaid Tale"

and there are mermaids and mermen in it,

so he saw nothing wrong with wearing the dress/fins!

LOL, they are SO funny!!!

Oh, and Izzy is wearing Emily's tennies...

I have no idea why.

I am quite sure that Sam wearing the necklaces and

Hannah Montana hat is Emily's doing! HA HA HA

So THIS would be Izzy dancing and

making her own silly faces!

Em is just so gansta sometimes!

Amanda joined in the party as the Evil Witch

and immediately put hexes on all of the other kids!

COSTUME CHANGE...

While Sam CAN be an angel, it is usually not the case!

um...er...I have NO idea what Amanda

is dressed up as...a homeless gypsy perhaps???

Desperate for Snow

This post will serve as an incentive to all of you who have been putting of a project. There can be DIRE consequences to procrastination. A couple years ago I unstuffed our two beanbag chairs...it was a debacle of MASSIVE proportions, pea sized styrofoam balls EVERYWHERE!!! Well, the empty bean bag chairs have been PERFECT for holding all of the kids stuffed animals, so in the end it was all worth it. I kept two of the bags of styrofoam balls for restuffing Daisy....Daisy would be our huge stuffed St.Bernard. I have been putting it off since then. I regret that SO much now......Sam and Izzy found them...and...
