Aquabat Adoration!!

-
So what happens when your cool uncle and aunt come to visit and they say one of their favorite bands is called The Aquabats?  Further more, if you're an impressionable 6 yr old and the Aquabats happen to have funny videos on Youtube that you can watch, well, you become quite infatuated with The Aquabats.

Such was the case with Gavin.  Lil' G has been watching Aquabat videos every day since Thanksgiving and he walks around singing "Super Rad" all the time.  Well, yesterday he decided to dress up like the lead singer.  This was the costume he assembled all by himself, even the PERMANENT MARKER mustache.




Not bad for a first attempt by a six year old.

Well, this afternoon, Gavin and I worked on making a slightly better costume.  Here's what we came up with.







Notice the artwork on the belt?  Hand drawn by yours truly.  Not bad for somebody with a wrist brace (More on that in another post, maybe).

The next image is stolen from the Aquabats' website and illustrates the look Lil' G was trying to go for.  If he had had a green underarmour shirt, he woulda nailed the look!


So thanks Scott and Kimberly...thanks for making my kids crazy for the Aquabats!

Am I in a circus, or what?

It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the

Age and Experience

They say the two go hand in hand...age and experience, that is. And I suppose they, whoever 'they' are, are right for the most part. Only for me, it seems I'm getting older with out the experience part. I still feel as unfit for whatever task is at had as I did 10 years ago. Anyway, back on Monday, I turned the ripe old age of 33. I've found the mid thirties to be weird age. I'm young enough to not feel old and old enough to not feel young. And I act 18 most of the time! Angela baked my favorite chocolate cake for me. I don't know what it is called, and it takes a butt-load of time to make. But the end result is a rich, moist, delicious chocolate cake with a surprise creamy filling in the middle. Its like eating a Ding-Dong only without the preservatives and it tastes better and you get more than two measley bites from a piece (is it just me or are Ding Dongs and Twinkies getting smaller?). We drove over to Stark-vegas for dinner with Chelsey (Jared
