"Not Me!" Monday

Ah...Monday...I'm actually not happy for this usually dreaded day!  There's almost no snow on the ground...and the kids will not be getting back to school on a normal schedule once again!  Whew!  Can I please not have the house back again and get some order!  {although I have not loved having them home and being super lazy productive...ahem...}

I did not send Emily to church in this Pippi Longstocking get-up...and Dan was not even a little embarrassed to allow her out of the house like that...even though he wasn't even going to be there...
{this is how she did not respond to that...}

{I did not respond with..."That's just Emily...I think people know that by now!"}

After church {and a cat nap} we did not get together with the whole family to help celebrate Great-Grandma Martha's 93rd birthday!  She is not the most amazing woman in charge of such an awesome family...I do not want to grow up and be just like her someday!

I did not finally get my hands on this little cutie!  {look at those big eyes!}

{...and I did not color my hair...again...ahem...No more snow days, please!}

Family is not the best!

{the super sweet E's...Emma & Emily}

{Alex and Grandpa talking basketball..and that is root beer Alex is drinking!}

{the boys talking business...or electronics...or sports...}

{Alex checking out the cake}

{silly faces}

{Emily & Alex with Grandma}

Alex was not a super sweet helper...getting gifts...serving the cookies and cake...and helping with clean up!

It was not a wonderful party with family!  {I love birthdays!}  If this family gets any bigger...there will not be a place to hold all of us to get together much more...although, I have a feeling we'll find a place!  We are not so blessed to have a big family!

Dan is not still truckin' on the basement...and the ceiling's almost done!  {when can we move in? ...sigh... slow and steady wins the race, I guess...}

And...I did not get some fun mail...thanks to Tiffany!  She makes the best pillows!  She made this pillow for Craft Hope...and I'm not so happy to see it's cute, cheery pear-ness in our kitchen...

{...and it's Snowball-approved!}

What did you not do this week...sleep with a pile of unfolded laundry on your bed...wake up to a sink full of dirty dishes and a tornado of Barbies and Hot Wheels on your family room floor...or hang out with your awesome family and eat too much pizza and cake...me either...Not me!

Be sure to head over to MckMama's to read what she and so many others have not been doing this week, too!
