Maybe it’s Because They are Homeschooled…

homeschooled children, weird kids, costume

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.

You want to Make a Memory… Try Again

I really wanted to take a photo of The Man and I at midnight on New Years eve.  You know.. to have a memory of us on the cusp of 2010.. Here is what happened..

Wow.. we got an ear and an eye..

Better except The Man looks like he took some NyQuil or Unisom

a half hour ago.. and my eyes.. well, they look bloodshot!

is this better? I don’t even know.

NyQuil has taken effect..

Look at his face!  Distrust has come between us.. and I don’t even

know it.  (the wife is always the last to know) 😉 These were the best of our

“midnight together photos”.  You know we should have just asked one of the

other 8 people that were in the house with us that night to take our

picture… anything would have been better than this.

Speaking of photos on New Years Eve…………………….

We went out with my “Mon ami” from high school and her man.

Luckily before we left for dinner at PF Changs.. We snapped some photos

together..

Not bad.. the man looks like he was taken by surprise.. and well..

I look like a midget even though I was on my toes and Mon Ami was

bending her knees.

Here’s the perfect New Year’s Eve Midnight Photo..  I asked

why he took it.. he said; “I’ve always wanted a photo of myself

upside down”… um OK #2..

You know that old saying.. “There is one in every crowd”.. I’m not sure that applies to my family. I think for some reason the combination of The Man and my genes have made our children weird.  If there is a ruckus going on.. my children are some how involved.

Before going into this really cool toy store at Crown Center I saw

this sign.  Apparently #3 saw the sign too.

pleaseberesponsible4I think he just wanted a picture with Hello Kitty.

Exactly.. point out the obvious #4.

Closing the door is not going to help, #5.  By the way.. nice Ben 10

jacket and Omnitrex watch.
