Dangerous Daughters
Geoff the Great was in Pennsylvania (did I spell that right?) over the weekend with Ryann and Emmiko so me and Coie took the opportunity to redo the three boys’ room. And when I say ‘me and Coie’, what I really mean is ‘mostly Coie’. We painted it dark blue and grayish blue and put up white shelves, and we painted their toy shelf to match the one dark blue wall. I’ll have to post a picture because it is enormously cute.
While we were outside doing the toyshelf, I was met with a nasty surprise. I was working away, minding my own business, and when I leaned over the side of the shelf I got smacked in the forehead with a brush full of blue paint.. Coie is reaaaaaaaaaaaaal funny. I got half of the top of her head and part of the back of her neck. She looks good in blue. But do you have any idea how hard it is to get paint out of your hair?
My daughter Ryann is even meaner. Last night I needed to show her that I was still the mama in control so I snuck up on her and tried to take her down with my slick made up karate moves. I barely got her down, and not without earning a humongatory bruise on my right arm. That girl is just getting way too big. She should just let me whooop her out of respect for her elders. She just tells me, ‘Mom, self defense is an automatic reflex’. Hmmph. Whatever. I can still take the boys down with no problem…. but it won’t be long before Bo is towering above me. It is not right that they grow up so fast.
Lastly, Maria is planning another Smokey Mountain Blogger Picnic. You MUST come if you are near, or sort of near, or out this way on a vacation. It will be on Sept 21. |

MOM POWER!!!
At 5′ 7″ I am now the shortest one in our house! Jasper is 5’10” and Jenna is 5’8″!! I do have them bamboozeled, though! When they out-grew me, I told them, “You might be bigger than me, but I CAN STILL TAKE YOU!” 🙂 Just between you and me…I probably couldn’t, but THEY DON’T KNOW THAT!! Shhhhhhh!!!
Wish I were in good ol’ TN so I could go to that picnic!

I can’t believe she smurfed you. And you let her get away with it. I’m sure the boys appreciated your suffering for the sake of their newly decorated room!
I wish I could come picnic with you. It’s finally starting to get not-as-hot (but still not cool) enough to plan a TX picnic in October-ish sometime maybe. But don’t hold me to it.
My boys will have their first karate class tomorrow night. It will make for an interesting week, I’m sure!
Love,
Marsha

Hey Missy-Poo
We missed you at bible study tonight. Sounds like you were black and “blue” (ha) with the painting and wrestling…….

Oh no!!!
I’ve had paint stuck in my hair from painting primer on our addition, and yes, it is very hard to get out of your hair! I was just Coie’s blog commenting on her toothepaste escapade and she s very funny!!!! Maybe you could use that toothepaste and take her to get a different one???
And I was over at Ryanns blog commenting too!!
As long as you don’t have paint in your hair it’s ok. But mke sure that Coie has BLUE, RED, YELLOW, and GREEN in HER hair. Just kidding. I’m not that mean!!!
I see you changed your blog around. I liked the green with the girl at the top better. But this one’s ok too. Browns really not MY color.
Well, I’ll still be your friend if you don’t change it back!!!
Your friend, FOREVER,
rachel
PS tell Coie that my favorite school subject is history!!

Okay, that's it —
…I am NOT letting my kids read your blog! I don’t want them getting any ideas, see. LOL.
I know — they get ginormous (my favorite new word — wonder if Webster’s has added it yet?) way too fast.

Parent-child love and all its weird manifestations. At least you don’t bite.

I got two surprises just now…
First of all your new blog design. Yeah! I like that picture!
Secondly, the screams that erupted from my computer when perusing your blog. I scrolled down and saw the tree swing video. Hee hee. Was that you screaming or your kids?

All it takes to take out my two big girls is the “tickle finger”! Although, Briana does get kind of violent trying to fight it off!

Did you know that you have 400 friends? Wowsers. That is a whole ton of people. Like literally I think they would way a ton.
So I can’t wait to see the painted room. And I need to come and collect pine cones for a nifty project I want to do with the kids.
I think that during pregnancy 1/2 my brain is rendered inoperable.
