waffle is at the vet getting neutered.
right now as i write this.
poor waffle.
driving 5 kid & a big nervous dog to school in our horrible school traffic while listening to the Annie
soundtrack is kind of like driving to a bus to CrAzyViLle.
oh my goodness.
it felt a bit like Sixteen Candles….
all we needed was kazoos.
i am full of randomness this morning.
check out this little goofball.
my sweet silly girl.
man i miss having that color hair.
when i was little i looked exactly like this…isn't that right mom?
she is Mini-Me.
i really miss my naturally blond hair.
forgot to show this last week…
twinsies!
micah shared his extra tigger costume with annie for preschool!
it was big time excitement around here.
ms. kristin made pumpkin pie playdoh.
it smelled exactly like pumpkin. it uses an entire container of pumpkin pie spice!
it was so cool. it tastes terrible…because it's playdoh.
i am sure many kids tried it just in case.
they pretended to make muffins and cookies. it's so much fun in there!
big plans for today:
cutting out a bunch of paper turkeys for my 3 year old sunday schoolers
having coffee with a friend.
sewing another curtain.
cleaning up my kitchen (how does it get so gross so fast?)
and sorting all the laundry i folded.
watching some DVR-ed shows (i am 3 weeks behind on 3 shows!)
many of you asked about the chandelier in the girls' room.
it's from IKEA.
you can find it here but it's not available online.
you have to get a cord kit also….super duper cheap.
i love this lamp.
oh how i miss IKEA.
i wish i could walk through an IKEA today with naturally blond hair.
HA.
happy friday.
Emilie - I don’t know if it is “electrically” (i made that up) safe… but I have that same lamp and all I did was put the chandelier up to the socket and then screwed the bulb in under it to hold it in place… No cord kit! I posted a picture of it in my hallway re-do post a while ago… I LOVE that thing and totally need to buy more… at only 17 bucks how can you go wrong?
Rachel - Definately need that lamp!
What great pics…the kids are adorable! And poor waffle 🙁
Deb - He is so stinking cute I just want to eat him up. Is that how you chose his name? Lol.
a thorn among roses - love the twins tigger! sooo cute. and ikea…well, you my issue with loving almost everything from there…and 16 candles is a must watch for everyone on the planet. i am introducing my small group of hs girls to it in a few weeks…i think that’s ok…maybe i should rewatch again first.
kasey - darling little kiddo’s.
k-
Lorilee - Meg,
Your photos are wonderful,as always! The chandelier is awesome. I have never been in an Ikea. MY hair is still blonde—-well with a little help from “Sun In” hee hee! This week has been crazy at school. Having our school used as a polling place and cool front all in one week is just too much for my 4 year olds!! We also made Pumpkin Pie playdough! It smells delicious! As soon as I could get my classroom in order, I picked my son up from Middle school along with 3 friends. I then took him and the same 3 friends to the high school football game. I had to pick Brian up early because he was sick. What an exciting ride with a feel like upchucking kid!
Blessings,
Lorilee
Tausha - Natural colored hair-what a far and distant memory! Funny Post! Your little girlie is darling!
We have an ikea here, very far away. Actually, it’s not really THAT far away-only about 2 hours. But 2 hours, is still 2 hours. I do also enjoy the chocolate covered marshmellows there. Not worth the drive, but I do like them!!
carissa - i think i could see yall driving down the street…
that was some good randomness! 🙂
enjoy your weekend!
Lanny Stanard - I’m sure glad you didn’t show the picture of you in the wig, I tired to laugh… Have a great week-end…
Lanny…
mom - Yes, she is definitely a mini-you! It’s too bad that I don’t have some beautiful pictures like these of you at this age. Your dad just seemed to take the funny ones – which are great, but no beautiful ones like these.
traci - i love randomness!! cute pictures of talby. especially the last one with the sun flare – beautiful. i can definately see the resemblance.
Amanda - LOVE the tigger costumes. And the lamp. ANd my natural redheadedness from my youth. Always thought being a redhead was lame and weird…so switched to blond. Now I want my red back! 😉 Luckily, I have been pregnant or nursing for the last 3 years, so no time to add articifical color 😉 so I am just me right now.
God bless-
AManda
MGF - That Pumpkin Pie Play Dough is the bomb…. haha (I always wanted to say that).
PamperingBeki - Yes Talby looks just like you. 🙂
That school parking lot, don’t get me started. (Don’t EVEN get me started…) haha! I actually honked at someone there for the first time yesterday when she nearly ran smack into my car. I’ve never done that there before.
Happy Friday!
meredith - 16 Candles is the best! Thanks for sharing all the Halloween festivities – just gorgeous.
Jaime Melcher - You’re SO fun! Our family has ‘relocated’ many times for my husband’s job-career- whatever… Next time we move, I think I should insist that we move to wherever it is that you live… we would be great friends! 🙂 Happy Weekend!
Kelly - She’s so sweet! Does she want her hair short or do you insist? We’re starting hair battles over here and I can’t decide what to do (maybe you saw my post, begging for advice, lol)?
Love the Ikea light. Will add it to my list to check out next time we go!!
Trina - You are an inspiration.. sometimes I feel crazy just driving 2 kids to school… and look at all of the other things you can accomplish – wow! Inspiration. We have that same chandelier from Ikea and I have to admit, not to make you jealous or anything, but I did wander around there yesterday but without perfect blonde hair, I assure you that!
jennifer - Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. In my kitchen baking cookies thinking to myself, “Bake cookies. Be happy!” 🙂 It’s just one of those days. But at least it’s Friday.
I love the pictures of your daughter. You’ve such a good eye for just the right shot.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Diana Cornielle - yessss, your daughter looks just like you…you’re right, she’s a mini-you! Lol… Enjoy your day!
Tracy - Whew, Meg – that was a CLOSE one! I was needing my “fix” and just couldn’t imagine WHY you hadn’t posted the last couple of days! *lol* Seriously, love the tigger costumes, pumpkin pie spice “cookies”, etc. and the pictures of your beautiful daughter are just stunning – especially love the last one of her with her looking down and the sun shining all around her – just beautiful. Have a great fun-filled weekend! I can’t wait to see what next week holds!
Hugs, Trac~ :o)
Lisa - Hey Meg, great pictures of Talby. I was going to say that she looks much like you in the first picture. I think it’s that sweet little grin, it matches the one in your profile picture. Poor Waffle, my little Milo got fixed and declawed last week. Sometimes a little Friday randomness is good.
take care and have a great weekend,
Lisa
Kameron - I feel you in IKEA! I used to live near 3 of them and now the closest one is an hour away. I could get lost for days in that store! Have a happy Friday!
Jen - I ♥♥♥ Sixteen Candles!!!!
Jen
Jenn - You had me at your pumpkin pic! We both got an award from the blogger behind jumpinginpuddlesoflife.blogspot.com and so I wanted to check out everybody’s blog that SHE likes and I just wanted to say that you have a wonderful eye and beautiful subjects and what seems to be an amazingly wonderful family!! The pics of your 4 year old storming the hood with her birthday ballons are stunning! Kinda makes me want to head out right now… though not being four, I may bet more confusion than smiles!!
