Nothing Plus Nothing Is Nothing

Just like Lori's broccoli post, the 40th birthday party post was getting old and moldy. Thing is, not much has been happening. But I do have a few pictures, so I guess I'll share.

When Ian and Katie came out for the party, we got to meet Mason (Jarston, as I affectionately call him) for the first time.

Ian and Patrick enjoyed the trampoline.

Later in January, we went to the math and science night at the school, and Paige showed us her class' science project that tested different liquids for watering a bean plant.

This picture outside of the school didn't turn out, but I thought it was kind of artistic in a way. So I am posting it because it fits with my subject - nothing :)

I thought it was so cute how Brandon stuck his olives on his fingers. I know you're probably thinking, "Every kid who has ever lived has done that," but this was MY child, so it was cute.

And since I missed getting a picture of him in his costume at his birthday party, I had a little photo shoot later. Does it look like Elliot and ET are riding on his hat?

In more irritating news, Kallie for some reason decided to write on all sorts of things she wasn't supposed to. I cleaned the masterpieces off my leather couch and Paige's sheets before taking these pictures, so you're not seeing the whole collection. Suffice it to say she has lost all her writing utensil privileges and all her toys for now... we'll see if she ever gets them back. Hmph!

I know they're kinda cute in a way, but don't encourage her!

And finally, my neighbor and I have been busy working on coordinating sets of French memo boards for our houses. We have spent several days in a row on these, and today I finally thought to take a picture to chronicle our progress. Never mind the pile of trash in the pantry.

Mine are all done and looking cute! I will take a picture of them soon.

Happy February!
