Going for a drive...

So most people go to the store, go to the library, go to school and church. What do I do on a Friday afternoon??? I drive a deer carcass to the butcher INSIDE my Suburban!! If you recall my post about being the best mom ever I want to now add to my resume best wife ever. Yep I win!!!! So I drove for an hour with a dead deer in the back of the car wrapped in a tarp. I have to admit I did everything in my power to not remember it was there. I turned the i-Pod WAY up and sang my heart out. For some reason singing along to Lady Antebellum seemed to help. And now the carcass is now at the butcher and I enjoyed my drive home WAY more than any normal human who DOESN'T drive around with a dead deer should.

I hope my award doesn't have a little gold deer on it.

On a side note don't be jealous that you don't have one of these to put in your yard during the deer hunt.

Excuse me...

The joys of a little kitten who wants some chicken....And Ben LET HIM!!!

The ones that didn't make the cut...

Today Ben and I took the kids out to take 'school pictures'. We are so lucky to live in a place with such great scenery and beautiful locations. We spent about 2 hours out and about and 70 pictures later we got some good shots. These are NOT those shots. Here are some that didn't make the cut. You can click on any photo for a bigger view.

Goober children - especially Michaela

This is Dani not smiling- she thought she was funny I think it's good black mail

This photo seemed to have a LOT of Zach in it

Here's Zach NOT looking at the camera.

Why is Dani in a ray of sunshine?

Cute picture of Jordynn but I like it when she opens her eyes.

Zach playing with a stick. He does this all the time but this is NOT a good school picture.

Again this is my goober son.

Michaela has some fly away bangs in this one.

Dani was scared to be by the water fall and didn't want to fall in. So she's TRYING to smile but is too scared.

Wheww...a busy week

Well the weekend of fun ended and we made it home to a new school week. But we had a great time while we were hanging with the family. We took the kids to see Toy Story in 3D and it was really good. And when I say we took the kids please remember this includes my 18 year old brother. We went to Gardner Village to see all the Halloween Decorations and to drop a shoe in the water. Thank goodness my brother Josh was there to rescue it. We fed some ducks and went to lots of the cute shops.

When we weren't having fun I was RUNNING MY BUTT off trying to get all the errands run I needed to get done. And of course I didn't. But hey there's always another trip.

The drive home was tiring for the kids

And then Ben got a MOOSE!!!! It was so cool. Ok he didn't really get a moose it was poached but he brought it home for us to see before he donated it to a family who would use the meat. It was SOOOOOO big!!

And fianlly I'm sick of the mouse in the house so.....
