Wow. Geez. I hadn't heard that you broke BOTH of your legs! ~ That is THE project that I say I'm going to do when I break both my legs... however, modern medicine wouldn't allow that. C had his hip replaced and was walking within days. So, it's best to do it w/o added drama and pain. I'm VERY impressed.

RBC: Yes, I'm impressing myself. Be watching for random pics popping up on FB.

Why are YOU up? I'm working on pictures.

H: 

That will be cool. I'm Easter Bunny-ing. I actually have everything very organized but got distracted while trying to find a podcast/audio book to listen to while filling baskets and making fun tags. S(17) didn't come home until midnight. I had to wait ... she is hard to surprise. Although I did get her on the 1st with the fake grapes in the ziplock bag at lunch. :)

C (an erstwhile curmudgeon) was out of town for April Fools' Day ... I had Lots of fun. You can trust me, really. :]

The cottage cheese in the milk was a good trick. They didn't "get" it until the next morning. I'm still laughing about it. They are too. Once one of them poured the lumpy milk on their cereal, checked the smell, checked the expiration date, and yelled at me, they just waited for the next kid to. No one told anyone. The timing of breakfast/after school snack was perfect. Very funny.

N is for Nice I-spy! & N's unusual baptism pic.

Happy happy boy. I finished the top of N's quilt. He loves it and I am very happy that I made it. I started with S's and now have one to go. It is cut and splayed out on the dining room floor. A bout of insomnia will get it DONE. I don't know what I will create in the future but I don't know if my children will ever love anything so much as these quilts, for them. Each child takes pride in each square, choice, color, combination, pocket, stitch. When they are all finished, backed and bound I hope to enter the stack of 5 as ONE -- a tangible manifestation of my neurosis, I mean Love of creativity and SKJN&M.
I'm making a crazy quilt top for S to take to DECA Nationals and maybe a crazy quilt of sorts for Ginger.


This is funny. Last October at N's baptism, the primary president loaded up the Polaroid (remember those?) and fired off a shot. This was the first picture on the role! (Dos Equis is a brand of beer, in case you don't know.) "Stay thirsty" isn't a bad theme for a baptism talk... change the meaning a bit to suit a sweet 8 year old though!

Check this out. I wish I could figure out how to put it on this blog. Any ideas? I'm not really a big fan of television, or movies... wish I was, but I can't sit still that long (usually). This is just about my speed. Completely perfect at the gym on my spiffy iPod -- worth having the screen.

N is for No.

And don't forget it!

E is for Eichhörnchen

Eichhörnchen means squirrel in German. My brother's favorite German word. :)

O is for Off to the Braces!

oh my.

Well, actually the braces are On.
Last week Both K and J had braces put on their teeth.
J has a cross bite.
K has an overbite.
Brothers.
