The World Fair project

you know...the one at Desi's school where I was completely stressed out for weeks on end. Well the photos are starting to come in so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!!
First is Angel Falls: during the event we had the lights dimmed, a fog machine running behind the falls to create a misty effect & a CD player running behind the falls with waterfall sound effects. It was sooooo cool!









This is the rainforest we had in the back of the classroom. We had anotherCD player hidden back there playing rainforest sound effects. It was awesome!!



Here's my girl D. ~ she was an Andes tour guide!








Here are the Andes Moutnains...those took more sponge painting than I care to think about! :)

I am a genius!!!!

Thank you, thank you...please hold the applause........ okay, seriously, I am so freakin' dense about my computer it is not even funny! All this time I have been waiting for K. to come home from the slope to download photos off our camera cuz I couldn't figure it out...duh! He does it via a cable into a port...blah, blah, blah....I still don't get that. However, as I was in the shower at 6a.m. it dawned on me, just maybe...I could do it through our printer. I know...clear as mud, eh??? Well we have the HP 2410 photomart printer/copier/fax/scanner thing-a-ma-doo. Anyway, K. always razzes me cuz I don't print out photos on in. What can I say..I'm a chickenshit when it comes to technology. So anyway...I decided to try the thing where you take the card out of the camera & put it in the little slot on the printer....and guess what....it automatically loaded all my pics onto my PC for me. How about that??? C'mon...I KNOW you are impressed....***please, work with me here**** LOL
So know it's time for show & tell:
First we have our Christmas tree on the big morning just before the kiddos got up! (I know...I'm only a month late! :)






Then we have Miss D. in all her Cheetah glory!!









Next is R. & K. doing the guy thing with the new race track!!









Here are the uber-cute stocking my mom made the kids this year!! Both of my kids love animal print & G-ma delivered! (Hey Mom~ You rock!)






Here it is ~ the Secret Project. It's recipient, My sister Femmie, recieved it on Saturday! It's a 7 Gypsies Tie Album that I filled with misc. photos of she & I over the years. It was super fun to make!!

Okay...I have more to show ...but I gotta go.. somehow, gymanstics class does not revolve around my blog...the nerve! :)

Real life experience #2......

take it from me...... sleeping with a Hot Wheels car in the small of your back ('cuz your 3 year insists on sleeping with said car & in your bed) is soooo not conducive to waking in a chipper mood...
just in case you were wondering

Things a boy will say......

This is the current (& ongoing) R-ism:
*Mind you, this is kind of sung, rather than said...& in the craziest, silliest 3 year old voice voice imaginable!*

R: Credit Mama Spank Butt!!!


What the???? I have no what this means, where it came from or why it so insanely funny.....even his sister dies laughing the instant these words tumble from his precious little lips. I have begged them to let me in on their little secret... "what's so funny"...but neither of them knows, but it sure as hell doesn't keeping them from breaking out it huge belly laughs! :) Crazy thing is they rarely get spanked & credit is pretty taboo in our house.......probably way too much TV. Damn that Disney Channel! :)
