I'm a Crab

Aren't cardboard boxes the best? They provide a creative outlet with hours of endless fun. Remember the cardboard houses, forts, hideaways? Every mother has made the comment at least once, "Why buy toy's? they got more enjoyment out of the box" Connor made great use of this one...."MOM Im a Crab." I say "Cheap halloween costume" Do you think trick or treating in this get -up is practical??? Probably not.

First Day of school for the Martindales

This is what the first day of school looked like for us. Sydnie and Connor in their matching uniforms. Connor really went to school with that faux hawk hair doo.  And Ashlee is so cute in her college apartment. Whew... we made it. 

"Are you my mother?"

If I didn't know better, I would swear that there is a DNA strand that connects this beautiful owl, my husband and daughter! They are nocturnal creatures who have our whole house waking to the moon and sleeping with the sun! The first weeks of school have shattered us all. Waking at the crack of shmack has us all walking in a daze. We were at our Condo this summer and enjoyed a wild life demonstration given by the Hogle Zoo.  The Owl stole the show. What a beauty.
