On a little more clean cut look!

1950's Day!

This week has been "Back through the Decades" for Red Ribbon Drug-Free week at our elementary school. Our family has really gotten into this and I have posted some pictures of the kids in the 50's, 60's and then forgot to take pictures on 70's day. The sad part of this whole thing was that it didn't take much to put these outfits together, especially the 60's and 70's day. Our kids actually wear some of these clothes on a regular basis. How pathetic! On 60's day when Wayne took the kids over to school, he came home and told me that our kids looked like true authentic hippies. While most of the other kids wore tye-dye shirts, our kids were in flower child gear of peace vests and hippie blouses, with beads and chains, bandanas and flip flops. The Entire Ensemble! Andrew even wore sideburns. He thought they were so cool and got so many comments on them that he wanted to wear them again the next day. He said all the kindergarteners were staring at him at lunch. He thought it was Kinda Cool, Man!

Could We all Be Too Exhausted?

Does this picture perhaps bring into focus that our lives may be too busy. This is little 9 month old Amelia (Pea Pod) putting herself to sleep. Wayne and I and the kids had been upstairs working on costumes and I heard in the distance a little fussing. I spent a few more minutes, (maybe five) upstairs. On the way down, I see that Pea Pod has gotten into her bouncer all by herself and then as I get closer, I realized she had just thought "Forget it, I am not waiting for my mom any longer", and went to sleep (she does love to fall asleep in that thing.) How adorable! How Pea Poddish! That is just so like her to be so easy and cute at the same time! Thank goodness Little Miss #6 is so yummy!
