Mia the Monkey

Amelia was off by herself for an hour or so the other day.  She came back with her sketchbook filled with 7 pages of sketches. They were called The Dress Up Friends.  It was a series of different animals that each had a special power. For instance, she had a dinosaur who could travel in time (how else could he get to the present to save the day??).  However, the one that caught my attention was Mia the Monkey.  She is a monkey handcuffed between two trees, but her power is "Finding happiness in dark times". Now, I may be reading too much into this, but I can't help but think she is Mia (one of her nicknames) and the two trees handcuffing her are her lame parents.  Luckily, she's able to use her powers to remain happy despite our dark ways.

1 out of 4 Ain't Bad

1 family, 4 sore throats, 4 strep tests, 1 positive... I guess that's a silver lining?

Sunday

Some of us know how to have a lazy Sunday....and some of us know how to take that to the next level....Sophie might be the Yoda of lazy Sundays...

Gray is the New White

Thanks to a meeting between Everett's tooth and a friend's head, my man now looks a shade tougher...and that shade is a gray front tooth...

Ummm, Thanks?

This came in the mail today addressed to us.  I know I've gained a few pounds, but I didn't think it was enough for the folks at Similac to assume I was pregnant! And no, in case you're wondering, nobody else in this house is either...Teddy is more baby than we can handle.

Oldest Trick in the Book

It has been proven to me that all things, including toddlers, cats, and now dogs innately know the key to avoid going somewhere you don't want to go is to drop and go dead weight. In this case, it was getting Teddy to go to his crate...

You Think You Know

Just when you think Teddy deciding to use you as a place to rest his tail was the worst he'd do today, he wakes up from his nap, walks into the other room, and throws up a PAIR of socks. We have no idea when he ate them...or if a pair of shoes are next....
