It's a T-Shirt...You're a Super Hero!

I've run out of safety pins to attach blankies around necks.  Arco clips aren't doing the job, and tucking blankets into shirt neck holes every 2 minutes just isnt time effective.  Proving that my memory processors still work intermittently, I've remembered that my sister-in-law is a t-shirt refurbisher extrodinare.  When Bridger was born she made an AC/DC T-shirt into a newborn nightie.  (I might also add she made us a Napolean Dynamite, and Abercrombie nightie as well.  Thank you Rychelle!) 

What really saved the day today, was her idea to take an unwanted T-shirt and make it into a Super Hero cape.  Mind you I spent two minutes making my capes, instead of the extra type Rychelle did, and you can really tell.  But thankfully the kids can't tell, and I'm the one who's the superhero now.   Add to it that I encouraged the kids to draw on clothing by decorating it with their super symbols, they may just think I flipped my wig. Here's her link if you too would like to become a Super Hero.

In a Drama Contest we Beat German Opera

Have you ever noticed that life takes up every single moment of life?  What happened to being pro-active, to getting ahead, to saving for a rainy day? Well some say you make lemonade with your lemons. As for me I found listening to O Fortuna, shaking my head for two minutes in bewilderment, laughing at how funny life is, and seeing how many Junior Mints I can eat before the kids find me hiding in the pantry very therapeutic.

Here's the Sessions drama in 2 acts (or months) and

our 11 most pivotal events:

1. Heather finally decides to have that gaul durn gallbladder removed.
2. Jeff starts training for his third job to pay for gallbladder, gaul durn it!
3. Lizzie gets Strep Throat. Antibiotics administered.
4. Bridger gets the mysterious South Weber sick and is the grouchiest bear ever until...(oh! and Antibiotics administered.)
5. Jeff gets a gun from Pops and the Mule Deer Foundation Dinner.
6. Heather break a tooth while eating popcorn and watching "Red Dawn" for the first time.
7. Heather starts second job to pay for stupid tooth.
8. Bridger beats his grouchiest bear record, and doesn't sleep for more than 2 hours for 10 days. (We experience our first kid ear infection, and I have no idea how we dodged it that long. Here's hoping tonight is quiet.) Antibiotics administered.
9. Heather gets Strep Throat Antibiotics administered.
10. Lizzie gets Strep Throat. Antibiotics administered.
11. We watch the other survivors for signs of sick.

Curtain closes.
 
It has guns.  It has drugs.  It has organ removal.  I think it's a blockbuster!

Baby Bridger Gets a High and Tight

Well, Bridger has had hairs cut before.  After all, when it was pointed out to us that his newborn roostertail made him look like Sloth from the Goodies, it has to be cut off.  But little Bud has never had an all over, and was really, really needing one.  All Dad needs is excuse to shave something, so out came the clippers, and now Bridge looks like a little man rather then a blonde member of the Beattles.  Plus, he need as little wind resistance as possible for all that army crawling he's mastering.
