Mad scientist

Picture day

Today I was getting the kids ready for their Christmas portraits, and Rhys was pretty grouchy about the whole thing. After he got dressed and I helped him brush his hair, I exclaimed, "Oh, Rhys! You look so handsome!" To which he flatly replied, "No, I don't. I look like a pig in a wig."

Ummmmm...how do you respond to that?!

Loving her new iPod!

Happy 9th birthday, Avery!

I can hardly believe it, but my baby girl turned 9 today! As you can see, she loved her birthday present -- a new iPod. We had a pretty low key today, and celebrated this evening with pizza and brownie sundaes.

Elf Yourself

Have you seen this website yet? It's hilarious! My cousin put in the kids' pictures and sent us the link.
