5 on Friday

1. We have been enjoying our Toddler Tuesday group so much this year. This week's was my favorite. Collinwood Park. Great swimming beach and playground. We would have stayed longer than the 5 hours if the little ones weren't getting so tired and crabby. Its encouraged me to plan a Momma Day at the beach ( without kids!). I can't wait!

2. On Wednesday, sickness filled our house. From throwing up , fevers, and sore throats. I was so happy this morning when everyone woke up healthy. Glad that it was a quick one! There are a few lingering sore throats but we are going to attempt our camping trip anyways.

3. Yea!! I'm so exited about camping this weekend! We are camping with my whole family ( minus my brother and his family) And let me tell you my family knows how to camp! My mom is Camping Queen. She loves her some rustic camping. Even though we've learned from the queen we've givin' into the Camper rather then tenting it like she and a my 2 other sisters do. But be sure to know that my mom will be cooking the entire HUGE camping breakfast over the fire! Yumm! I can't wait.

4.Speaking of Miss Camping Queen. Take a look at this. She is really going to hate me for putting this up- but- hey, she's the one who posed for the camera and should know that I would totally put this up!

And Another one....

Yup, she's c.Ra.Zzzzz.EEEE!
We love her!

You can tell we are all like her too!

5. This is totally strange and you will all be probably thinkin I'm a crazy. But remember I was borne of the woman above ;) Plus I'm trying to come up with a 5th topic here people. So hear me out!
 I always have really weird dreams, but I had a really weird one the other night.....
I was shopping at a store when this little troll like man was following me and every time I tried to pay for something he would pinch the inside of my arm. It really hurt. So I picked him up and threw him over a balcony and he fell and ended up with a spear going through his body, but he just wouldn't die. He had a really freaky face and I was scared to go to bed the next night thinking he might invade my dreams again. but he didn't . So, anyone have any thoughts on interpreting that dream?
Yup.
I'm crazy.
Or weird.
You are probably thinking " I don't know why I'm reading this pointless blog and I need to stop before I become crazy like this lady"
To all of you that will continue to follow me- I thank you. From one crazy blog writer to you crazy readers!
Love ya!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I'll be having a blast with my crazy LOUD family!

Picture time...

I set off for a day to take some amazing pictures of my amazingly beautiful children. The setting was Munsinger Gardens. The perfect place to capture my perfect children in pictures. Or so I thought O.k maybe I really didn't think that this would work! The whole ride there I threatened and yelled that they BETTER BE GOOD! And they behave exactly the way they normally do. Not listening, not smiling, being crazy wild children.

This was the first picture....

I should have know after this picture things would not be going well on this day. This day that I had hoped would go smoothly and I could pretend for just one day that my children and perfect. I'm sure the other garden visitors thought I was a crazy woman shouting and threatening my sweet looking children.

They figured out that they better do as I say or scary mommy was going to come out! and this is about the only picture I got of them all looking at me. Even if Ethan is doing a strange impression of who knows who!

My handsome little man! He's growing up way to fast!

He's missing all four of his front teeth now! I love toothless smiles :)

Love his grin!

Owen refused to smile after the first couple pictures, I was lucky if he would even look at me. He mostly just scowled at me,

Example below....

I really had a hard time with her...she was so distracted by everything ,mostly the dirt, she kept trying to eat it. She's cute even when she's not looking:)

Me and my babies. I wish they would stop growing up! When I look at this I am amazed that I have 5 children! I can't believe how lucky I am to be mommy to this cute bunch :)

He's quite the looker, isn't he? I think so :)

Me and my girl!

The Toddler Tuesday group. We sure have some beautiful kids!

I really wish this would have worked out. All the boys look really happy but Audrey just wouldn't look up. She was fascinated by the ground.

My boys.

I guess it didn't turn out too bad, but after taking over 400 pictures and these are the only ones that remotely tuned out, its a little depressing but, hey, with 5 kids what can you expect. And I think that next time we go to Munsinger i won't be taking my camera, we'll just enjoy the park and all the beautiful flowers.

Hope you enjoyed all the pictures!
