Grambonn & the Grands

As if we could ever get FIVE children ( & Grambonn) , ages 3 months to *ahem* quite a bit older then three months, to be looking in the same direction with a decent smile all at the same time. What WERE we thinking. This is what my crazy awesome kid family really looks like!

Random WA Coast

It's a crazy crazy world.

Our House, Is a Very Very Fine House

Got a wild hair last night and started painting.... All I had was an edger, a 2 inch brush, and Raegans four-hair art brush... This morning? I have a fantastically blue kitchen and dining room! Gotta LOVE owning your own home!

The guest bathroom. It Just. Makes. Me. Happy. I LOVE this bright vibrant wall color, and the wall tattoo turned out SO nice!!! Squeeeeeeeee!!

I did a bad bad thing...

So things have been crazy around here, both around me ( Moving! and Transfer! and all things chaos!) and inside me... ( stress of MOVING! and Transfer! and all things chaos!) so I decided I needed a fresh something. So I got my hair cut. The thought was make something new and fresh and shiny, something young and hip and positive happen to cut through the stress of all this other stuff. Also, I got my glasses in and was feeling very ma'am-ish. So yah. Got my hair cut.

And now I look like a 40 year old school marm. Not exactly the look I was going for. Of course I'll style those gawd-awful bangs myself and change up the train wreck that is my head a bit but yah. Totally missed the goal. What WAS I thinking? Well, at least it's not a perm....

Outside-ish

Lookie lookie!!! Matt just got done re-assembling it today... the kids NEW play place! We got a crazy screaming deal on this structure from a casual friend who was shutting down her indoor play place business. When I heard they were having troubles, Matt and his brother went to help them load up and move out their massive kitchen furniture when the doors closed. A few weeks later we got a knock on the door with the opportunity to get this for the kids. Whoa. Good Daddy. Very good Daddy. Snow and rain and freezing and burning out two drills, he got that thing put up!

In the Box

We got a little bit crazy when it came to the Wal*Mart after halloween sale..... Costumes for a dollar or less... Yah. We Re-stocked. Get ready for a pile of crazy kid posts!

So, We Had A Pile of Fun on Halloween....

We did the usual plus some... a failed attempt at trick-or-treating Old Mill, the Harvest Festival, and some trick or treating with Grammie and around our neighborhood. The kids had a BLAST and ate entirely too much candy. It was such a fun day!
