Syd and her sidekick

I keep finding pictures like this on the ipod. Practicing the kissy face. Silly kids.

 

 

Sydney is cracking me up lately. It is the middle of winter and she refuses to wear a coat. Not even a jacket. One day it was raining and she grabbed a light jacket. "Phew," I thought. And then saw her drape it over her hair as she sprinted to the bus stop. She wasn't worried about being cold; she was worried about her hairdo.

 

The other day, she was rummaging through drawers looking for old shopping bags. Why? To put over her little slip on shoes. No boots. Shopping bags. ?????

 

Teenagers are awesome.

They just are.

I am loving being Sydney's mom.

What you hear at my house

"The rains come down and the flowers come up."
Rachel refused to sing this for the camera, but it is dang cute, for sure. :)

"MailMan!" - Hash says this in a shakey, spooky, scary voice (except in the video). He means, Boogey Man! It also means Superman.

If you have a pre-teen or teen, you are probably familiar with the Korean music video by Psy called 'Gangnam Style.' I wouldn't necessarily suggest watching the entire video. 1:09 is where the chorus starts, 1:33 is the questionable part. BEWARE!

I was embarrased watching it with my kids. There is a part, though, where he says, "Heeeeey, se*y lady." We don't say that word around our house so we came up with alternative lyrics.
"Heeeeey, Nacho Libre!"

This last thing is something you can SEE at my house. This is a poetry book Camille uses at school. I love her cover and the way she spelled poetry and the way the picture matches the word. Talk about poetical imagery......
