The Bright Eyed Brunette

This is what an "Off Day" around our house looks like. We got to spend Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday at home with the Simpson boys. So Carlie spent that day doing her hair (what else?!), Makena was making bracelets with her loom, Noah and Trey were having fun playing in Trey's room, and Eli was loving the television (and Trey's DS when Trey wasn't looking!).  We also got report cards on this day and I am proud to say that we had one on the All A Honor Roll, and two on the A and B Honor Roll. Makena, Trey, and Papa at Ellie's 4th birthday party. It was cowgirl themed.  I thought it was funny that Papa decided to join the fun and wear a mustache! Ellie loved her new horse watch! And of course, her princess dress :) Another picture of Trey and Noah. There is no telling what these two will get into when they get a little older.   I almost forgot about this one!  We had a Birthday Party/Potluck at church for our Pastor....

Well, it's freezing outside!  Seventeen actual degrees with a wind chill that makes it feel like it's zero.  I'm not liking this one little bit either!  What a better way to spend the day than staying inside (where it's somewhat warm) and blogging!  Sure, I probably need to be cleaning but this is my last lazy day! This was taken yesterday.  We had to run into town to pick up a few things.  Makena was trying to ignore me, but Trey was all smiles! The picture on the left is the result of a Saturday night card game gone wrong...Carlie's Patagonia got ripped! Let's just say that Trey lost the game, the girls were teasing him, he started chasing them, and while running Carlie's jacket got hung on the drawer pull! The picture on the right is a nice, happy Carlie after we got her a new Patagonia because Mack's was open on a Sunday (Thank-you Mack's).  She even eventually forgave Trey.  Now all is well in our world!
