MATILDA WREN RUNNING AWAY...


THIS IS MATILDA WREN........ONE OF THE COOLEST KIDS IN THE WORLD!!!

JUST LOOK AT THE PRETTY THING...


this was her book bag, packed for running away....running to under the dining room table. she said she packed her favorite things. i wish i knew why she wanted to run away, but i'm sure it was because she couldn't have a gumball or something like that. :)

this is what was under all those plastic figurines...


and this, (my favorite), is a picture of her car that she drew.
very important for running away, to the dining room table.


this kitty was actually stuffed in the pocket, head first, but i switched her around, i thought maybe she was uncomfortable. ... ..... i wouldn't make a good photo-journalist.


open the bigger compartment, and this is what you see, and what falls out.


after emptying the big pocket.....i think this is all very important to bring. i probably would have packed more. prolly a couple'a bags.


and then, we played My Little Ponies......but these were miniature ponies. no brushing hair here. i was somehow still satisfied.

ms. wren is rad

Renaldo aka Renni the Knife


lord, look at that face?!?!

THIS IS ABBEY'S NEW KITTY, WHICH MEANS I GET TO KISS HER ALL THE TIME, LOVE HER ALL THE TIME, WRESTLE WITH HER ALL THE TIME........CAUSE SHE LIVES WITH ME. BUT ONE THING I CAN'T DO...IS CALL HER MINE.
INTRODUCING..RENNI THE KNIFE:

this is her favorite spot in my room....it's on top of sueberts shrine (my kitty, well, my old kitty).
look at how tiny her chin is. i would kind of love to pinch it off.

These kids rule ... and so do their parents

I went to visit my sister Malissa two weekends ago. it was amazing. ... the kids are insane, and their parents ..... amazing. rad

above is something that matilda, my niece, drew. i asked her to draw a heart, and after she drew this much, she stopped and said "yah, i don't want to"..... incredible.


george, my nephew, decorated his shirt with stickers during dinner. we should all have sticker decorated shirts. life would be a bit nicer...i think.


Malissa tickling Matilda. ... before bed. ... i remember malis tickling the shit out of me when i was younger. holding my arms down with her knees and digging. digging as hard as she could... i would laugh but all i really wanted to do was cry. amazing


george on his bike...THIS IS HIS BIKE (granted it was matilda's)...but he picked out his basket.. and he couldn't be happier with it. he rides so fast, around and around the driveway.


george getting attacked/loved by his momma. he was sitting on the couch in undies and his shirt. kids rule


morning time, watching something...hoping that mom won't come down, cause she will turn the tv off. soon after this pic, jeff went back to bed, and i snuggled in.


see......................


this was them, standing on the X. this X gave the perfect position to look at the men on the light tower thing in their backyard.


before bed spiderman time. runny nose and all.


this is the mermaid that spiderman saves, isn't she pretty!!!


mermaid, momma, spiderman...


the green goblin (their poppa) coming to attack them.


george saving matilda from the green goblin. when he saved her he hugged her real tight. then he shot web out of his hand.


resting mermaid. beautiful!!! i want those shoes.


malissa usually has about two kids attatched to her.


george gave me these!!! they are still on my hoodie.


george fixing the screws under malissa's computer chair. banging and moving things around, he is addicted to those goggles.


playing outside. they were batting balls around, riding bikes, and malissa was drawing with sidewalk chalk. i think i was...well....i think i was just smiling the whole time.


i look like i'm 250lbs in this pic. but it was fun...yah, i look a bit bottom heavy. well, i guess i am. my face looks ridiculous. thank you very much.


could he be cuter? he was pouting. about the zip line. he didn't want to play anymore. so he went and got his glove. soooooooo frickin pretty!


matilda gave him an acorn hat. dude lives with all the fairies and gnomes. hurts.

playing with shaving cream on the kitchen table...brilliant. their pop let them. after that......
they made stone soup.... how cool is that??!!!
eating, looking at a toy catalog, and listening to their pop tell a story about spiderman.
she scratched herself, so i she needed her mom to give her a sling. seriously, i remember wanting stuff like that. wanting braces and glasses when you didn't have them. now, well... having braces and glasses? no thanks.
my farewell.... while the kids were asleep in the backseat. ha. they kind of cared that i left. i miss miss miss them. love love love them.
