A Thousand Words Thursday - Grandpa

See more ATWT photos at Cheaper Than Therapy

Grandpa always knows how to make J laugh. He obviously enjoys this. J does, too!

Also, this is DH's dad...so this pic is a little taste of what I'm in store for! Did I just say that??

I "Heart" Faces - Silly

One more quick entry for the I ♥ Faces photo contest...post yours quick, it ends Wednesdays!!!
If you can't tell, this week's theme is SILLY!

Wordless Wednesday - Thematic Photographic - "Down"

This week's Thematic Photographic at Written Inc. is "down". Now, I thought a lot about directions, but this photo struck me as the best "down" I could convey. That's all the words I'll say, as this is also Wordless Wednesday at 5 Minutes for Mom.

Not Me Monday - Sick Babies, still

Fess up! It's "Not Me!" Monday! See what others did NOT do at My Charming Kids.

I once again am NOT writing from work. I don't do that. EVER. Not me!

I DID NOT give my sick baby to lovely and motherly babysitters from church while I worked at the hospital with everyone else's sick babies. I'm a stay at home mom...and I DID NOT just admit that!

I DID NOT feel bad that I am not the one comforting my son while he is sick. I WOULD NOT be making him drink from a bottle all weekend when all he wants is more mommy time.

I also DID NOT have to take Jc in to see the Dr. to find out he has one ear infection and the beginning of pneumonia after assuring my husband he's fine. Definitely Not me!

I DID NOT let the Dr. give Jc an injection of antibiotics rather than the oral stuff so it can work faster and keep us OUT of the hospital. Poor baby, I'm too nice, it was NOT ME!

I DID NOT feel a teeny bit jealous that Hubby took the big 3 kids to dinner and a movie while I slept after the previous work night. Just because WE never get dinner and a movie anymore doesn't mean I shouldn't be happy they get to do it! NOT ME!

I DID NOT give in and buy MD his own box of Golden Oreos, then help him eat them all in one afternoon. SO not me!!

I once again DID NOT ignore my housework just to catch up on blogs. Not me! Um, and it was really NOT ME who moved stuff and stacked boxes differently downstairs just so PM's occupational therapist wouldn't think I hadn't done ANYTHING in that front room since last week when she came. NOT MEEEE!

Friday Friday - sick kids

Leftovers? See more Friday Fragments at Half Past Kissin' Time.

• We have had snotty noses all week. JC took the worst hit last night. He started screaming about 8PM and did off and on all night. I was pretty sure it was an ear. Got in to our local little clinic to check. The PA said it was his right ear and she felt like he was heading for pneumonia, too. She said they couldn't rule it out because they don't have the baby cattle-chute-thingy for x-rays at their clinic. She gave him an injection of antibiotics rather than wait for the oral stuff to work. We're due to visit again Monday. This photo is JC pre-cold. Now picture him with red watery eyes and copious amounts of snot, and crying.
• MD drew me a picture of a heart that said "Mome" (mommy). He explained that he "got tears" while he made it. Then I did, too.
• AM's friends think the rockstar hair is cool. I haven't met any moms that roll their eyes at me yet. At least not to my face. Like I care!
• When I scolded PM for someting naughty, she told me "NO, Piper go cry!" I said OK.
• Debating on a photo seminar in Minneapolis in April. It's a one day thing, I'd spend one night, and I really want to go ALONE...like without kids. Is that possible????
• I have to work this weekend, I'll be pretty much MIA, I'll probably Twitter a lot, so follow me there!
• The RaMbLeR and I had this conversation, then not 1 hour later it happened. Grocery store bagging is apparently a lost art. The bagger at the checkout put drippy meat packages w/ my dairy and squished my bread into a bag full of cans....seriously, people??? I would have said something but my attention was divided among my four kids asking for every piece of candy at eye level in the checkout lane!
• Also, Skype is cool! Just don't forget to turn the privacy settings to "only allow people on my Contact list" or you get Christina.super.sexxxy.whatever.the.heck.her.name.is asking you to visit her site. Riiiiiight.

A Thousand Words Thursday -

Post your picture that's worth a thousand words. See more at Cheaper Than Therapy.

She stole my glasses when I wasn't looking....

Love the static-y hair. Notice the Princess Dress of the Day - Snow White.

She switched to a Barbie Princess Dress later, I guess Barbie's too cool for glasses. But not too cool to have lunch still on her face and stinky pants.

Wordless Wednesday - The Eyes Have It

I'm gonna try my hand at the I ♥ Faces contest again. This week's theme is "The Eyes Have It"
This is my current favorite of AM...
