We were rained out on Sunday (see HERE).. but Monday night was

perfect night to blow a few things up.  We didn’t get to go to my

friend Tammy’s, but the city of Ottawa had a “Blow Up Make Up” party.

What’s a party without a little drama?  #4 was not happy about something..

I think some one took his chair..

By the looks of this picture #5 had something to do with it.

Maybe it was this kid.. he’s not related to me.. but he should be

OH.. are you and your family doing that Volkswagen “punch” thing?

If you are here’s a free one for you.. Silver one!

It was starting to get dark.. and we broke out the glow sticks.

This kid is using his for a halo..

They can also be used as hair sticks..

Just in case you were wondering.. #4 perked up after the glow sticks

came out.

Happy Fourth of July!

I think my kids have a pretty good imagination.  It seems like

every day they have a different costume or game they are playing.

I have NO idea what #3 is doing here.. she has

on a blanket, with this little sweater clip thing

holding it together.  Oh.. and let’s not leave out

the red and blue swimming noodles.

#5 is sporting a black grosgrain ribbon around his

head, a polka dot handkerchief, foam shield and sword,

camera bag or purse or um satchel, and a Boy Scout Weeblo pin.

I probably shouldn’t leave out the super cool sleeveless

Spiderman shirt.

Here you can see what I think is the sweater clip..

OOh.. and I believe the Sponge Bob pajama pants

with her brothers “House of Jesus” t-shirt on completes the look.

In her defense, she was the bad guy to her brothers

“Super Hero” games they were playing.

I like to thing they are this creative because they are

homeschooled..  or maybe they just look homeschooled

because they are so creative..  Either way it does my heart

good to see them using their imaginations.

Painted by Brad Bunkers see it on ETSY

**note to The Man.. I want this painting.. You should buy it for me

I’ve had an interesting childhood. I would never say it was bad, because I believe that everything that happens to us in our life makes us who we are… and except for a few pounds, (and some small personality defects) I wouldn’t change much about who I am or who I’ve become.

I say this because sometimes I miss having a mother.  I was fortunate enough to have two mothers.  One that gave birth to me and took care of me until I was six, and another that adopted me.  Neither of them are in my life currently.  Sometimes like today, that makes me sad.  I would love to share my life with my mother.  I would love to have a mother to mentor me through all of this stuff in life that overwhelms me sometimes.   I would love to have someone to share how  fortunate I am to have 5 children (that I never thought I would have). I would like to have someone to give that painting to.  But for now.. I will feel blessed that I am a mother and that I am apart of 5 very unusual lives.
