All Liquored UP!!

Tonight I went to the Liquor Store! I know, that's so like me! So, the purpose for my trip was to get boxes. I just got a storage unit and I am packing up Walter's desk and books so we can get this house looking nice for the potential buyers! Anyway, the house is now full of nice thick boxes which are great for packing books. Winni saw this as a nice distraction. Tonight she gave everybody a hug and said 'good bye' to our Korean ladies who are leaving tomorrow. I told her to go and get in bed for the umpteenth time and her response was...."the boxes need a hug!" I couldn't really understand what she was saying because it didn't make sense to me. So I told her to go ahead and hug whatever she was talking about. Sure enough she walked over to the 3 different stacks of boxes and gave them a big hug. Now, we can go to sleep knowing every "body" in the house got a hug from Winni!

The Apple that fell FAR from the Tree!

On occasion, when I'm really having a hard time getting Winni to stay in her bed at night, I resort to bribes. I try to mask it a little bit by asking Winni what she wants for breakfast? She usually says she wants pancakes. So I tell her that if she stays in her bed and goes to sleep, I'll make pancakes in the morning. This morning I decided to be an extra cool mom and use my "sneaky chef" cookbook. It has a recipe for Chocolate Chip Pancakes. It calls for a bunch of good for you stuff, so you put the chocolate chips in to mask the texture of the wheat germ. Anyway, Trae ate 2 and Winni ate 1, so I thought we were doing good. Then, tonight as it was almost 11 PM and Winni was refusing to stay in her bed, I pulled out the bribe. She was falling for it and requested pancakes, but this time there was a stipulation. She said, "I want pancakes, but I don't want any chocolate on them!" WHAT!?!? Whose child are you? I guess tomorrow will be chocolate less pancakes!

MISSING!!!

Has anybody seen my day at the park? It was scheduled for today! We were so excited, and then as we were getting ready to leave, this started



The gutters flooded in a matter of minutes! I think it might be time for some soap boat races!!

Ugly girls need LOVE too!!

Tonight we had our farewell party for Jen! sniff sniff! It seems like lately we have to have a theme, so tonight it was Ugly Girls Need Love Too! And let me tell you, we some ugly girls! :) We all got dressed up as ugly as we could (which is hard when you look as good as we do! :))! Anyway, we met at Kelly's and did our "glamour shots!" Turns out



because we were all dressin' 80's style! Then we headed out for some LaserQuest! Poor "Lightning" didn't exactly dress right for the occasion, however she did meet the quota for ugly!



We were hoping that "El Preggo" and her 8 1/2 month fetus would have something exciting to share with us during laser tag...


but no!

Then there was Foxy! And boy was she...



anything but! hahahaha However, the highlights of the night consisted of her Marilyn Monroe impersonation, as well as at Sonic when she decided to get up and dance on the table! Definitely an 80's bridesmaid gone wild! Oh, and her LQ score of -36, but we don't talk about that. She's sensitive!

And the epitome of ugly herself Juice, the Porn Star Grandma...



She just couldn't seem to keep it in her pants!



But, with pants that tight, she couldn't have hid that toilet paper if she wanted to!

And, that pretty much sums it up! Thanks for such a fun night ladies! What?!?! My ugly pics? They don't exist! I guess I win, cause the camera just couldn't handle the site that I was! Oh well, maybe next time! Remember Jenny, you've got 1 year!

Mom Award

Today I feel like the worst mom in the world!! Poor Grady! During pictures yesterday I didn't even think to put a hat on him, since I can't put sunscreen on him. I guess I'm used to my kids having hair!! My baby has a sunburned head!! I won't take pictures of it and I won't go into detail because I'll probably break down and cry from the guilt! I'm positive it will heal nicely, but for now I get the Worst Mom of the Year Award!!

Walter-less Family Pictures

Today was Peterson Family pictures. We tried to get everyone together before Walter left, but that didn't happen. So, we went ahead and had them taken. We plan on somehow putting Walter into the pictures. It sure was hard work trying to keep my 3 holding still for pictures, but we survived! Here is a sampling of today...



I guess I could put more samples up, but we really are the cutest group! :) hahahaha If only I had a sampling the "the picture." The one where we used a body double to sit in as Walter. Not sure who's idea it was for the wives to basically sit on their husbands laps, but using the double was hilarious for this. Especially since the double was my nieces husband! Poor kid! I hope he's not scarred for life!! :)

When Grandma Babysits!!

I love coming home from being with friends. I know, it seems like that is all I do these days, but it was needed and has been wonderful! Anyway, last night was cooking club. After I had been home for a little while I heard Trae crying, so I went into his room to give him a hug. What I found was a bit disturbing. So, I took pictures this morning when he woke up.



He really didn't want me to take his picture. I had to talk him into it and try again...



Poor kid! Apparently Grandma couldn't find his jammies, therefore she used the next best thing?!? Dont ya think maybe just a diaper would be the next best thing?
