first haircut (sorta)

Nathan needed a bit of a trim around his ears.

Josh got out his little trimmer

Nathan wasn't so sure about that noise buzzing around his head though.

"I'm outta here, Dad!"

At this point, I put down the camera and Josh put down the trimmer and we got out the scissors and tried to trim the hair. We basically got done what I wanted, just don't look too close! HA! Where's Auntie Tasha when we need her? =)

just like Daddy

we had baking powder biscuits with our beef and vegetable soup the other night. For dessert we put jam and cream on the biscuits. Josh loves "spray cream" you know, the kind from from a can. (he's been known to eat it on his cereal and to take a "swig" straight from the can LOL) well, he decided to share with Nathan. He sprayed some on Nathan's mouth. and as you can see Nathan likes it too.

p.s. Nathan is 10 months old today!! crazy!!

blog book

I used Blurb and had my blog made into a book. So far I've only done 2009. I'll have to get 2008 done and then keep up with it every year.

Toothless wonders

Anti-Procrastination Tuesdays--the school room

Remember this?

well, this is what it looked like after Josh and the girls got into it.

not perfect but much better

lots more room so we can actually use the school room instead of the kitchen table

a couple more things to be done like throw out the boxes of rubbish and organize a few more shelves and whatnot. But we use it and have kept it tidy since. YAY!!
