On a lighter note…

Boy parts!!

Everythings not about my boobs anymore.

Oh hai!

Um. I forgot I had a blog. It’ll never happen again. So ANYWAY.

Here, I’ll catch you up:

There was Halloween.

Bella & Veronica/Zombie Cheerleader & Cheeta Cat

Trevor & Billy/The Hobos

Jack/The Baby in Halloween Jammies

And then everyone in the house got disgustingly sick.

But Jack was the only one nice enough to let me take pictures of that part.

Then I got to go on a date with my husband, which happens like, once a year. Dinner and then to see Blue October play at Stubbs.. with NO KIDS which happens like, never.

We were sort of excited.

My handsome husband.

Fun was had by all *SQUEAL*

Then Jack turned one.

He's very good at cake.

Very very good.

We had Thanksgiving.. in which I did not have to cook anything because that’s how awesome my husband is.

Notice how you cannot see me anywhere near the food?

And then we found out we are expecting kid #6. Yes, 6. I’ll keep you updated on this one, I swear.

So now you know where the heck I’ve been. Where the heck have you been?

What I learned today

That 4 months and 2 weeks worth of laying around on your back makes learning to do this:

Worth screaming for joy over.

There is a very proud and tired baby in the Messiness household this evening, because apparently, once you learn how to roll over, it is ridiculous not to.

Thank you, God for our healthy babies.

After watching Heather & Mike’s unspeakable tragedy unfold and knowing that the world will not be the same after their precious baby Maddie has left it – I have no other words but to thank God for our five healthy and strong kids.

“Ye have lost a child–nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.” -Samuel Rutherford

Sleep sweet, baby Maddie.

Foreheads, Republicans & Singing Doctors

Where the hell have I been?

Hiring a lawyer: Yay for custody battles! This appears to be going ok-ish, although my Republican, Bush-loving, animal-heads-mounted-on-his-walls, nervous-twitch-having lawyer kept smacking himself on the ass and telling us that he has a birthmark “RIGHT.THERE” that matches the one on Jack’s forehead. I think he is on drugs. He is a very nice man.

At the doctors office: My poor, poor, pitiful Bella was in line, walking to the bus after school when her “legs tangled” and she fell, face-first onto the pavement. Apparently, her “arms were busy falling” (direct quote from her) so they weren’t able to catch her and she broke her defenseless, minding-it’s-own-business, perky little nose. She also bit through her upper lip, got a big purple goose-egg on her head, and skinned both knees and an elbow. Bruises are spreading across her nose and under both eyes, and her lip is turning yellow to match the hue of the lump in the middle of her forehead. We are sure to become the talk of the town (or at least the talk of the crazy ladies at the bus-stop). Bonus: The doctor sang an off-key “We Will Rock You” to Belle after she finished peroxide-ing her wounds and sopping blood and mud from her nose. I love our doctor.

Sleeping!!: Jack has graced us with 8 long hours of wonderful, uninterrupted, fabulous sleep every night!! This is a beautiful, beautiful thing and I have caught myself more than once almost waking him up to nuzzle and snuggle and thank the slobber right out of him.

And that’s about the size of it. Plus, I am working on putting my story together for MaggieDammit who is my new hero. Stay tuned, my loyal readers (all 1.5 of you).
