How NOT to make your own indoor dirt pile

 Ingredients one should NOT use: 5lbs. Flour, 5lbs. sugar, applesauce, gushers fruit snacks, rice krispie cereal, fruity pebbles, and golden grahams.

 Don't be fooled by the ghostly figure in this picture!! There has been NO trick photography. The tracks that you see on the floor are REAL! This poltergeist was caught in the act!

My daughter has this obsession with markers, and just when we think we have thrown them all away I find her looking like this. My own mother has confessed to me that I wasn't this naughty all the time! I think they went a little overboard on that "Mother's Curse". My dad said the other night...just think she'll have one 10 times worse than her. I said I wouldn't wish that on her in a million years! :) I just want her to have one JUST LIKE HER!!! :P
The pictures are crazy now because the screen on my camera is busted, and these new cameras nowadays don't have the view finder anymore. So you get pics that have heads almost chopped off or floating. :) Notice that cute floating head pic?? Well during all this other chaos going on, Ryann decided that her hair was just in the way of all her creativity....so she chopped dome of that off too!! Not once, twice in one week. I didn't get pics, but I saved a lock of the chopped curls for her baby book. Yep...I'm saving all the evidence of the crimes. :)

Hot Pink Disaster

OMG....I can't leave this child alone for a millisecond. Wesley and I were discussing what to have for lunch and while that was going on, a very quiet Ryann was "playing" in Wes' room. Yup...you guessed it. I went to work on lunch only to hear Wes scream..."You're not gonna like this" He was chasing Ryann and trying to keep her from touching any and all surfaces in our house. I HATE arts and crafts supplies!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear I have an eye twitch from her and when they deem my officially crazy you all will know why!!! I couldn't see having any other kid, but I really would like to renegotiate that parent's curse.....I think they were a little too harsh on me! I wasn't THAT bad! ;) I am tremendous fear of what her teenage years are going to be like....hopefully she will have all this worked out by then...or else Lewis and I have been watching a program called Beyond Scared Straight...it will be that or the Nuns (that is what my mom scared me with and I am not even Catholic!)

One the other hand this is what Wes does when I sleep and leave the camera unattended :P I have two different kids. 

 Best duck lips ever! :)

Is that a Black Eye??

I left Ryann with Lewis for approx. 10 min. the other day and pulled back into the driveway to this.

I was freaked out because at first it looked like she had a black eye. Nope. She just managed to do what she does best...find dirt. Lewis said she had been throwing it over her head and had gotten some in her eye. She obviously rubbed her eye to take care of that problem. :) My water company loves her, and the soap and shampoo industry have been doing wonderful. Thank You Ryann for supporting such noble causes at this tender age.
