A few weeks ago I took #3 with me to a restaurant for a meeting.

She had brought a book with her in case she became bored.  Well, she finished the book, and in her boredom decided to play with her food.

Do you see it?  It's a horse… running..   The butter is a sunset… and the lovely sugar creature is the horse.

This September 3rd is sad day for me… My sweet #3's turns 13 year old today.

#3 and and The Man snuggling on the couch.

I'm one of those weird mothers that doesn't want their children to grow up. 

She's a pretty cute brownie huh?

She looks a little like her mother…

She's an awesome big sister!  (We call her "the baby hog")

Even when she was 6 she was a little bit of a baby hog…

Cute little muffin!

Holy Smokes.. I love this girl!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! I love you more than the moon!

#3 has been dancing since she was a baby.  Here are her costumes this year.

Blue Ballerina

This is her jazz costume.. I think it’s super cute.

This is her tap costume.. they are dancing to “Ain’t going down till the sun comes up”

#3 isn’t crazy about this costume.

She REALLY dislikes these “spats” that cover her tap shoes

This is her Dance Team outfit.  I think she looks adorable..

She’s not crazy about the shorts.

This is her solo costume.. along with her brothers.

Recital day is just 11 days away.. can you tell we are excited?

A few weeks ago my Micro Center 8G flash or thumb drive stopped working. ( I blogged about it here.) I called several places to see if they could recover the data. Most told me it would be $100. to $500.00 to recover it. I took it into Micro Center and they gave me a lecture about “backing up my drives” and “how it would be $500.00 for them to open a ticket to look at it”. Needless to say Micro Center won’t be getting much of my business.. if I wanted to be talked down to by a teenage nerd I could ask #2 for advice. Which leads me to this..

That #2 he’s been trying to get my flash drive to work. He puts into different computers, yells at the drive when it doesn’t work, prays about it and talks about sacrificing chickens. The other day, he sat up right in the chair and said… “I haven’t tried it in the Vista computer!” He made a few weird gestures, closed his eyes, prayed, then made the sign of the cross (we aren’t Catholic) and plugged it in.

The light came on!

Holy Smokes.. and it STAYED ON..

The Vista computer is hooked up to THE TV (you know the TV I talked

about here and here).

We held our breath and started moving files.. a few at a time.

After 2 hours of holding our breath it was done.. I had

all my photos back that I loved (and didn’t back up).

After that ordeal I gave my favorite chicken sacrificing, know

it all teenage boy a kiss.

Oh.. and he gave me one back.. While he might be a know-it-all,

he never has a problem hugging his mother. He’s good

like that. That kid on #2′s back is, #3 she’s a good one too .

*** We unplugged the flash drive when we were done, and plugged it in again.. it never started back up..
