Over the hill

My cousin and her husband share the same birthday and they turned 50 this week (she's 26 and he's 24). So they had an over the hill birthday party and told everyone to dress up like Grandma's or Grandpa's.

My husband is so dedicated to the things he decides to do. It was time for a hair cut so he asked me to cut his hair like an old man who only has hair on the sides and around the back. The pictures don't really do it justice but everyone at the party thought his hair was really like that. He looked so much older and so different. He even shaved off all his facial hair for the party. (This is only the second time I have seen him with no facial hair.)

We we're a pretty scary looking couple but we had SO MUCH FUN!

Thanks Amy and Andrew!

Moses

My sister gave me this Moses basket after her babies had outgrown it. I used it for two of my babies (I think) and then gave it to my best friend. It is currently being stored in the basement of my house and Eadie & Orin decided that they needed to use it for their babies.
But then Eadie had to go to school.
Orin started to use it as a cat bed. Then of course Alton wanted to get in too. So they both sat in it happy as could be. I saw them and had to take pictures. I went downstairs to show Justin the pictures and when I came back up Alton had his blanket and was now lying in the basket. It was just too cute!

Private

I am thinking about making my blog private. If you could please email me to let me know you are interested in reading it, I would appreciate it.

Crazy!

I know it's not something you should do to your body and that it doesn't exactly coincide with my religion, but over the weekend I went a little crazy and got a tattoo. For about six months I have wanted another one. I had decided that it wasn't the best idea and I wasn't going to. But on Friday I kept thinking about it. My best friend came over and I asked her if she would go with me, she said that she wanted one too. So, after talking to Justin about it, we decided to go the next day. We ran into a few difficulties and it was kind of a pain, but it all worked out in the end. I like it!

Crank

I recently finished reading a book titled "Crank" by Ellen Hopkins. It's about a girl who goes to visit her Dad for a few weeks during the summer. She meets a boy who introduces her to the "monster" as she calls it. The story is based on the authors daughter. It was a really good book and I enjoyed it. It brought back a lot of memories and made me realize just how truly blessed I have been. I will celebrate 15 years of sobriety this July.

I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

Prayers

Eadie gives the best prayers that I have ever heard a child give. She says better prayers than Teya. She really thinks about what she wants to say and does such a great job. Tonight when she was praying she said "We're thankful that we had the great Abraham Lincoln". It was very, very cute!
Can you guess what she's learning about in school?
