A baby shower. Yoda stamps were all I could find, okay? I’m not packing up all the nut jobs just to get stamps.

A tank top from a free Ottobre design pattern. And let me just say that I am not doing another Ottobre stencil design again for a LONG time. I made it while watching a movie and it took the ENTIRE time to finish it. I wouldn’t have gone through with it except that Seth said he’d wear it if it had turtle bones on it. I’m willing to do pretty much anything to give him some diversity in his wardrobe.

P.S. It was snowing the day he wore it.

Joseph stole some garden tools. I have NO IDEA where they came from. I asked around but couldn’t find the owners. I’ll just toss them in the pile of other things that found their way to our yard (like the bathroom mat that Bella stole from some unsuspecting neighbors).

Joseph face planted into the asphalt at Target. I wish I were carrying my camera when it happened. He had a black smear across his face along with the scratches.

This is one of many outfits to come since I bought LOADS of cheap knit fabric last week. My friend that we carpool with for school saw Catherine and started singing “I’m a maniac, maniac!” Just for the record, the headband was Catherine’s idea. And the 80′s are back. There’s no fighting it.

The kids finally got to play on the helicopter at the children’s museum in SLC. Every other time we’ve been it was closed due to ice.

So it kinda turned into a really busy week even though Catherine had Spring Break (which was glorious, by the way). I spent a lot of the week researching stuff for our yield sign problem as well as getting signatures on the petition. I substitute taught in church on Sunday and our family sang a song at church as well. I addressed the City Council last night, so most of the busy stuff is over. Now I just have to pull a 1600 word article on “pinching pennies” out of an undisclosed place within the next few days.

But I thought I’d share my “You Can’t Look Cool When. . .” list with you.

You Can’t Look Cool When. . .

1. You’re eating a banana (this one is my mom’s)
2. You’re ordering fast food at the stupid speaker thingie
3. You’re kids are screaming (any or all of them)
4. Your skirt is hanging out the door of the car
5. Your two year old has locked you out of the car and you’re trying to coax him into unlocking it
6. You have a dirty diaper in your hand
7. Your dog is sniffing your butt
8. Your kid is pointing out that someone’s cigarette is super stinky (or bad for their body)
9. Your 2 year old is screaming “I want doughnuts!” throughout the ENTIRE grocery store
10. After a prayer at church your son exclaims, “Everyone thought that was a talk, but it was a prayer!”

It is a whole new world, one that I didn’t know existed. And you can own one for yourself! Click here to buy one that my kids made (#2140-2144; sorry, 2145 is taken!). For a good cause, too!

There’s also a news release about their creative donations here.

It’s funny. Someone from the local newspaper called me today and I thought they were going to ask me about this news release, but to my pleasant surprise they are writing an article about our blessed yield sign I blogged about the other day. Yippee! Bad press is always good:) They might even use my photos. I’ll be published. For the second time. Although, I don’t really count the first, because someone in my immediate family published them. What was he going to say, no?

Heh. Maybe he would have.
