September in a nutshell...

So this is what happens when I dont take 10 minutes out of my day to blog. Ya'll get bombarded with photos & our crazy happenings. September was no exception. Lets start here...


This...
plus this...
equals this...
and this...
which leads to this.
Allie came out one day and had looked like she had dipped her head in the toilet. After all, that was the only water she could possibly reach. So, with that in mind, I am running through the house, to each bathroom fully expecting to find a water mess. Nope. So where the hell did she get this water?! I touched her head and... OMG (thats putting it mildly!)... she put the whole damn tub of Aquaphore on her head! This kid looked sopping wet! And... if none of you know, Aquaphore is WATER RESISTANT! I gave that child bath after bath after bath. Finally I read online that some people have luck with baking soda or corn starch. So, we tried the baking soda first and that did basically nothing. Long story short... we got it out after days and days of bathing.

Ok, so on to the next disaster. Here is cute Kole sitting all tall like a big boy getting ready for his first hair cut...
and then this happened...

lets just say we finished his haircut on the floor...
and now he looks like this.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL CPS (I swear I am a good mom!)

Sooo... I got this cool adirondak chair. I cant really tell you how I got it or I'd have to kill you but basically it was FREE. So, I turned this into...
this! Isn't it cute?! This red is the same color as our accents on our house. I love it! And best of all it cost me like $3.5o for the spray paint.




Tim and I also went bowling a couple times in the last few weeks. I suck but we had a good time!

And I think I may have a 'thing' for bowling shoes, crazy socks & rolled up pants. eh?





Mid September we had a 'girls night' and went to PF Changs for my good friend Lynsay's birthday. While there we also discovered it was almost Alex's birthday too!
Happy Birthday!
after dinner we headed to the movies. I know... we're liven the crazy life- huh?! We were all using the bathroom before the movie started and while, uh, 'going' we heard this really loud noise! It was like a hurricane! All the girls were like screaming and laughing because it was so loud. We came out of our stalls (all with tears in our eyes from laughing so hard!) and discovered it was the 'super mega hand dryer 5ooo). This thing had so much power it could literally rip your skin off ya! So... Lynsay decided to stick her face under it. And seriously, there was NO alcohal involved. Seriously.
Oh, and THIS is what I found in my garage one day! I'm not kidding, this thing was HUGE! I called Tim to make him come home from work and kill it. It was way to big for me to even kill. Instead of killing it, he put it in a jar so we could get a 'better look'. Are you ready for some 'heeby-jeebies'??? The spidar wasnt really all that huge. It just looked huge because it was carrying all its babies on its back!!!! SICK!





Allie was pushing around Kole in the diaper box the other day. I thought it was so funny! It reminded me so much of some pictures that I have of Jake & I doing the exact same thing. Those are some of my favorite pictures to look back on! Isn't it funny the things that kids come up with?! I love it! (and I swear, Allie's hair is not ALWAYS in her face... just most of the time!)

We had a big rainfall a couple of weeks ago so we sent the kids out to play in the street. LOL! Ok, I really am starting to sound like a bad mom- huh?! Eh, they survived & they had fun playing in the rain!

Alright, that just about wraps up September. Who knows what October will bring us. If my poor, neglected children make it through October that is. Bwaa-aaa-aaa!!!

Poor Kole! That's quite a goose-egg! I'm calling the police NOT because of child abuse, but because YOU CUT HIS BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!! Baaaaaad mommy. ;)

I love catching up on your life and getting to see your ADORABLE kiddos.

Love you Gacki!!

There was atleast 1/4 of a pear mojito involved in the dryer picture! omg, those are the best memories. I am a little sad that you left out that you sang Britney the entire way home and every time we stopped we thought an airplane was landing! I love Allie's pictures, that is priceless and poor baby kole's head! His hair is adorable too! you guys always always have the best stories! but for Christmas I think I will get each kiddo a helmet! could prevent falls and aquaphore :) love you friend!

Thanks for sharing all those great pics! That frickin' spider looks huge!!! Do you remember the spider we found in my store that day? I was on the phone to Mom, and you and I were freaking out about a spider in my store... They still freak me out just as much!!!

And just how DID you get that cool aderondak chair free???

If you tell Linda where you got that chair-----don't kill her---just slap her ( circa "Steel Magnolias ".
Love the pictures and stories of your month. Your house and life is never dull. Your kids will grow up with the wackiest sense of humor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
