Whew

We have been in a whirlwind these past few weeks, er, months. I'm ready for things to slow down. I love nothing more than staying at home, day after day, doing school and puttering around the house. I need for life to slow down so we can slow down too.

So here I am, reminding myself of some things, before they slip from my memory forever.

Zane is super into Elmo right now. It's so funny that each of mine did this at this age. Actually Laney loved Elmo much earlier and for much longer, but Zane and Jude did this at the same time. Hayes made this blanket for Laney, and it's been loved by each child. She even made us two blankets, for when one was in the wash. They are definitely going to have to go in the keepsake box.

We had some work done on the house, to get some siding and rotted wood replaced. They found the precious treasure of termites in our house. Live ones. It was a crazy week. I'll spare the details, but here are some of the pictures!

Mario is scrapping up the termites to put into a bag with the other live termites to show to the district manager of our termite company. Lovely, huh? Mario's not scared of anything!! lol...

This is what your house looks like after termites have been snacking on it...

Guess what Jude is into these days.




Is that not hilarious? I love that picture!

(I said, "Zane, show me your new Cars Crocs!!!)

Zane thinks he's a big kid. In so many ways, but he loves to wear big kid shoes. After watching him clomp around in Jude and even Laney's Crocs, I decided to splurge and get him some. We went to the store, and I kept trying them on him, and we finally got to the right size.





They just happened to be the same size that JUDE wears!! Jenn R. says Zane has Barney Rubble feet, and she's right! Luckily they had some Cars Crocs on clearance, and I got him a pair that he can wear for a little while. Then he and Jude will be wearing the same size. I may have to move Jude up so they won't wear the same size! lol...





I got this shirt today with a gift certificate from a friend! (*wink*) I love it! I know it's a little Paris Hilton, but anything to get the message out, you know?



They have these bags, at WalMart, too. I know some people have said that the WalMart cashiers don't want to fool with the canvas bags, but these are $1 each and hold a whole lot of stuff. If you buy one or two of them, and then have some of your own, they should be happy to load up your bags. We have found one sweet lady at the Alabaster one who is fine with our bags, and we always find her! She even told me today about a really cool handmade bag a lady had that she really liked! Hope that helps!!!


Jude got a bag of toys at the thrift store today, and in it was a little happy surprise for me!!! Lol!

That's a nice note to end on!!!
