Jeggings

I actually saw someone wearing these and had to look multiple times to be sure. Yep, they really are spandex legging that look like jeans. oh, fashion. what were you thinking?

and they have a name. Jeggings.

and if you happen to think that you are one of the few people that call "pull them off" I must dutifully inform you that you are not.

sorry. no one. no way. no how.

Halloween Warm-up

My sister Mel is soooo artistic and a few years ago she invested in a face painting set for a school carnival...
we couldn't let that go to waste now could we??? the kids all rejoiced when she decided it was time for another round of recreational face painting.


Shelly's house was covered in DarthMol, fairy, butterfly, and Batman smudges. later that night, so were all of our bathtubs.

should we be worried that they all wanted to look like the devil?

Sometimes I look at our kids and wonder if they will ever realize how lucky they are. so loved, so blessed and beautiful. they are all having a Pollyanna childhood and I hope they know how hard we try to teach them how to love and celebrate life and each other.

...and how hard it is sometimes.
