The Good, the Bad and the Messy

What does it mean when mid way through February I'm still posting photos from Christmas? That's pretty bad isn't it? Part of it is probably that I have zero photo shopping skillz (as you can see from the one at right), because other that that I have no excuses really.

These are from our family photos right after Christmas. My children do not smile like normal people when you take their photos. With any luck that will change in, oh, 20 years? right? Now that I look at these I think we all three look half deranged, but that's probably just how we look.

Wouldn't this fine family look cute with a few more little people? Y'all have to agree with me because my nose is still slightly out of joint after overhearing that hanging out with me and the kids is great birth control. Which in itself is a pretty hilarious comment since I only gave birth to one of the little rascals. I guess Christian is just THAT BAD! Funny, I usually think he's the easy one.

At the moment we have a 4th boy for weekend, we'll call him Dubya. He's 10, so I honestly haven't even noticed the addition. Christian and Dubya have had their noses in the Gameboy all evening, with short breaks to wrestle down the Littles and keep them in their place. I managed to give Ashi a complete comb-out in the tub before the Littles went to bed. That was over an hour ago and Ashi is still calling to me from the end of the hall (Carrot Top on the other hand falls asleep faster than you can say "snoring like a frieght train"). I should send these big kids to bed just so I don't have to listen to Ash whine anymore. Then he can just climb in with Bub and drive him bonkers (at least until HE falls asleep). That kid...
