Confessions of a Crappy blogger

Halloween with the cousins

So, it is true! I am a Crappy blogger! I did pretty good until we moved, but still, I was starting to fall into crappy blogger syndrome before the move happened. I am trying to reform myself and become an awesome blogger, but no promises! I am going to try to blog every day, at least for a while.

So many funny things happen in this Huffaker-Huffaker-White house, that it would be a shame not to share. Some of the things that have happened, we could not experience in a home of our own. ie: Gabe was throwing a fit one morning about his cereal, so, grandma went outside and got him a bowl of snow. That put an end to it. Gabe has, also, enjoyed learning how to feed the birds. For a while, he was going out each afternoon with grandma, to feed the blue jays peanuts. He and grandma would stand still with peanuts on their hands so that the blue jays could get to know them. It was cute to watch. Another thing that happened was, grandma fell down outside in the snow. She was all by herself and couldn't get up because everywhere she pushed with her hands, she'd sink. Finally, after alot of trying, she got up. When she came in the house, Gabe said to her "I saw you out there, grandma. You looked funny."
Today, we went down to see the holes being dug for our house and the white's house. As I was explaining things to the kids, Molly had an ah-ha moment. She said, mom this is going to be so easy. I was confused. Building this house is going to be easy? No, when we live in our house, we can just walk over to Brayden's house. We won't have to drive. It will be so easy. It was great to see her face while she was so proud of herself for making such a great discovery.

Silly Random Pictures

These Pictures just make me laugh!! I thought I would share in hopes to brighten your day.

Molly's bug bites

Day #1.......Molly woke up with a swollen eye while we where camping. Turns out, she had gotten three bug bites around that eye the night before. Poor thing!!!! She would have to tip her head up to be able to see out of the one eye because she couldn't get the one eye open enough to see out of.
Day #2.....getting a little better. It took about 4 days to really go down. Then, the whole thing peeled off once it got back to normal.

Kate's Hiding Place

We have this little corner in our kitchen that all of the kids have enjoyed playing in. Kate, most recently, has discovered this spot. She loves to hide in the corner and open the door to the cupboard so that all you can see are her piggy toes. She'll open the door and roar at you and then just giggle at her game. She gets upset when her brother or sister occupy her spot and promptly removes them from "her place". It is so cute to watch. I had to take pictures to share how cute it is.

Molly's first bike crash

So, anyone who knows Molly knows how timid she is. She has no interest in anything that goes fast or has any possibility to be dangerous. She has always had a big wheel like Gabe, but we have never bought her a bike because we just didn't think she was interested. My friend at work, Laura, gave us her daughter's old bike for Molly to ride. It was cute, pink, and had princesses on it. What more could a girl ask for?! All we had to do was go and buy some training wheels for it and it would be ready to ride. It took us forever to go and buy them because we kept forgetting. One day, I finally remembered and surprised Molly with a ready to ride bike. She was so excited and spent all day cruising up and down the sidewalks in the neighborhood. I thought, Finally, she is excited in something that has wheels!! Dumb mom, I forgot to teach her about the brakes, and she crashed big time! Her poor face and knee! She scratched her nose, her cheek, and above her eyebrow. So, as anyone can guess, she won't have anything to do with the bike anymore!!
