I wish I could capture my kids like my friend kel can. Sometimes I don't think I slow down enough to try to get them on film. They are growing so fast! Little Girl, or LG, as she is known in these parts, shuns the camera. While Cowboy Stoney, a nickname he bestowed on himself, loves it!

Dirty Gold - California Sunrise

I have taken quite the hiatus from blogging. This is due to a lot of different factors that are changing in my life, I have started homeschooling, being more realistic about how much time is in a day and how efficient I really am. I will write more about that later. But there is something I have to scream from the rooftops. My nephew that I adore, because they are kind, great examples to my boys, hard workers and sweet as can be, are creating a stir in the music world. I had to share. There music gets us groving and my boys just keep hitting the play button. Read about them hear, scroll down to Before the hype, dirty gold.

pirate day times three....arggghh

We we so thrilled to have a pirate day at school. So thrilled in fact that I sent Scurvy Gums Bobby to school a week early dressed and ready to plunder. My husband took him and five minutes after he left I checked my email that reminded me that in fact pirate day was in a week! Blimey! So I called my husband and told him to turn and grab the child who was running for the classroom and bring him home. My husband dropped the buccaneer at his Nana's which was closer to the school and I met him with the appropriate attire and some wet wipes.
The next Monday We suited up again, and added some dye to his hair to improve the look. This time he went all day. His Nana picked him up because I had a sick baby. When she brought him home, she informed me that in fact pirate day was on Friday. Sink me. This time I needed an apology to go with my wet wipe.

But the third time is the charm and he went looking shipshape and better than ever to retrieve his treasure. Luckily our beloved Mrs. Endicott is his teacher.  And I had another experience notch on my motherhood belt. I am going to be so good at this parenthood thing by the time I am through.

AHOY!

My New Life

In case you weren't feeling grateful today.

Today after swimming my five year old was lying on the grass in his swimming suit just relaxing. My little girl crawled on over to her brother and tried to nurse.

"Ahhh- you silly girl! Those aren't the real thing, those are just decoration!"
