Love these two artists.. Great SONG

If you're attacked by a shark... hit them in the nose! And KEEP SWIMMING!

Over and over again I feel the shoreline is out there, albeit far away I still swim. Even though I continue getting pulled down defeating what little headway I made.

ie..

Sam's temper sends everyone else's temper into hot water. Aside from Emma who wallows in the shallows.

Emma can easily create a frenzy that we all fail to recognize till it's too late.

M who shall not be named - fails to acknowledge others, sending us to the deep end, and back, and back, and back again.

Christian who knows all, mocks any headway accomplished.

All the while, we parents are trying to find the safest, fastest, most prudent course to shore. No time now for character lectures! We're all flawed as our trials have proven. Our family can and will learn lessons on the cusp of sharp teeth.

So not only will we all survive, we'll look back on this journey as a family laughing in the face of adversity. We'll finally crawl on to land, breath a deep sigh of relief, and enjoy a coconut that Sam has volunteered to crack open for us all to share.

*Sam always insists on buying a coconut at the store so he can later whack it with a hammer! Good skill to have, if we ever wash up on shore!

Wordless Wednesday

Change feels good!

Insipired by this photo I took the plunge! Colors came out perfect, however I'm now wishing I hadn't cut my hair so short! It used to be this length exactly. 

xmas party

Yeah she may never forgive me IF I get her to get in the car, out of the car and attend this party. BUT I'm trying to preach what I, we as a family do...put others feelings first. Go to the party you were invited to, be present and let others enjoy the company of YOU! In that be yourself, let your walls come down. If they love you as you are, you will be invited next year.... YAY!

We can hope for snow, that would be perfect day all around! 

Blog

It's been months but I finally updated my other blog, painful as it was! Those that know it know where to find it.

New hairstyle for 2016

Knowing I needed a hair cut, I let Maddy "trim" my hair. It turned out to be more than a trim.. EEK! It's been 2+ years since I've cut my hair and with Emma's obsession with torturing it, I've decided it's time. Now I just need to decide on my new look.

Front teeth for xmas!

It happened! Sam lost his other front tooth tonight! Pic to follow, after the tooth fairy visit! 

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth 

Refreshed!

What a down pour today! No umbrella! Seeing everyone rushing to pick their kid up and run to their cars, I had to laugh. It's only water! I think it's actually a lot of fun to get drenched, took my time and enjoyed my exciting walk. Sam, Emma and I screamed as we splashed along. Once home I was drenched, cold to the bone and ready for a shower, this time HOT!
