DADicure Salon

Kaylee introduced Emily to nail polish last Saturday. After Emily's bath Sunday morning, she noticed some of the paint was chipping off. So, who did she go to fix it? Why, Dad of course!! He definitely has a careful touch! If he's too good he might end up doing all of our nails! Welcome to the Dadicure salon!

Post edit: Emily has had her nails done before by Kaylee and me. What I meant was Kaylee reintroduced Emily to nail polish for the season. She was so excited to join Kaylee in all the fun!

Pinewood Derby 2010

We had our pinewood derby a few weeks ago and Justin and Ethan both got to do a car. They were lucky because last year Randy was really busy during the pinewood derby and wasn't able to help. I am not very good at the whole thing. Justin's car last year was a basic blue and had coins glued all over it to make weight! It was terrible and he was sad. What do I know? I was pregnant and trying to keep 4 kids out of trouble with the race officials!

This year was different. Randy was able to help them a lot more and things went a whole lot better! Justin came in 2nd! Ethan did really well and almost placed. He wasn't happy because he didn't get a medal. We told him he has 2 years to get ready for his real derby so these are just practice runs!

Good job Team Garn Boys!!

I don't scrapbook

I don't scrapbook. I have never scrapbooked. Don't get me wrong, I think they are fantastic. I love looking at the works of art that people put together for their posterity. I don't like the pressure of it. I take plenty of pictures of my family so I'll remember things and the way we all looked. They aren't in cute books with awesome cut-outs and whatever else goes with those cute little books. I figure I have enough kids now that they can all make scrapbooks for young women and scout/young men projects. Besides, they are much more creative than I am and it comes to them with much less pressure!

So, why am I saying all this? I started this blog as a way to avoid scrapbooking while being able to jot down things that have happened in our little life. The problem is I don't find time to jot down things very often. My last post was way back in November and I don't even feel bad! I have enjoyed reading everyone elses blogs so much that I don't have time to work on my own. I started feeling the "pressure" of keeping up a blog and I avoided it even more. Then, I was on other peoples blogs and realized that I am not on there lists anymore and realized that maybe I should blog a little more so I don't get blacklisted by all my friends. Then this blog would really just be for cyber posterity because no one would follow anymore!

So, here I am. I am going to post a couple things (maybe) and then who knows when I'll be back! But just know it is your fault that I don't have time to post often. If all of your lives weren't so exciting, I could spend all my computer time typing about my life.
