Friday Fotos and Some Awards

Since I didn't do wordless Wednesday this week I will post some pics today since I don't, as usual have a whole lot of interesting things to say today. Except I will throw this out there.... Cat Stevens rules. I mean he just rules. Why did he have to go and change his name to Yusluf and get kicked out of England? And what the hell is a Mona Bone Jackon? It just sounds dirty. I think I am officially iTunes' bitch since I had all good intent to go and buy the theme song from House (Ministry by the way) and spend exactly 99 cents but then in the recommendations was Cat Stevens?...hmmm I don't really get that but being someone who has little or no will power I ended up spending $30 on the Cat Stevens Box Set. Now I wanna get on the peace train and maybe live in a wigwam..I don't know I'm all confused. Curse you iTunes (picture me shaking my fist at the Apple logo).

Ok here are some of my favorite pics of this fall we were all over at E's mom's house painting pumpkins and eating lots and lots of food. All the while the big kids were painting my almost two year old's face. I joked on a previous post that this will be the picture that the prosecutor blows up as justification for why he chose to bludgeon me to death in my sleep, probably with a pumpkin, or a paint brush.


I laugh every time I see that...He hates me.

The next pic is on of me and my sister. Back when I was young and blond and tan.We used to try and see how far we could swing the porch swing before our Mom would start to yell. Nothing like the adrenaline rush of feeling like you might at any moment single handily bring down the house with a pump of your feet.

I realized I don't put pics of Sophie up very much, just adding to her belief that everyone else is loved more than her, so I thought I would put this one of the three oldest but Sophie is actually looking at the camera. I love pictures of people's backs and feet. This was taken over the Summer ...is it Summer yet??

I also love this picture of Lily and Nick, she barely wants to brush elbows with him at the dinner table but I know they will love each other one day. Or not....but I will always have this picture to remember how I bribed her to look like she loved him.

I also have been the recipient of two great awards from two great bloggers. So thank you thank you thank you. I have been slow to post them up here but I am loving them all the same. If I could figure out how to put them on the side of my blog I would but I really just figured out how to post in the future ...which is so cool. Now I don't have to pay the neighbor kid to come over here and hit "publish post" for me anymore!

The first one is from Diane over at Good Morning Glory, there are rules about having to name 10 honest things about myself but I think I gave you about 100 yesterday so stop being so greedy. Also I would pass it along but I love you all. really I do all the same.

The next one I got is from Life on the Goo Goo Ga Ga . I love to say that title out loud. She also gave me a great award that doesn't have any rules except to pass it along to other fellow bloggers , and like I said I have enough trouble trying to get my kids to believe I love them all the same but for different reasons so I am not even gonna attempt it here. Thanks ladies! If you all haven't been over there go now and check out their sites!!

Happy Weekend!!!
