thhhhere it is!

So we managed to pull it together and remember what Christmas is all about after all (but not without clenched teeth threats of a present-less christmas :)

The Mario mustache that keeps on giving.

offspring awesomeness.

I tried to get my family to dress up as cavemen (not the annoying Geico kind...ones like this adorable family) but i lost to the marketing genius that is Nintendo (brought to you and crafted entirely by handsome bob/dad).

Name that Carebear...

I had a hard time figuring out how a cavewoman should pose...

willy wonker?

...that's what my kids call it anyway.

Sorry for the anti-climactic project boo:defenseless babies finale. This "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" concept I had much higher hopes for (the chocolate waterfall looks like a boring tree and there are no oompa loompas!) I guess I got a little lazy and he ended up looking more like a really lost blind hobo. But when I add too many props or detail, I am positive the universe whispers to Sonny that it all must be violently destroyed. Actually I think my lackluster motivation is just my total frustration with my piece of crap camera. It takes grainy ugly pictures that I just can't respect in the morning.

Thanks to those who played! all five of you. Seriously Kelly, Cara, Maryposa no excuses...you are now on blog BFF watch. The defenseless babies edition is now going into retirement. Until Project Boo's next installment...enjoy yourself a little candy land paradise...with hardly any candy, what??

Mostly, thank you Sonny for being such a sweet treat. A real Sonny Delight! Thanks for smiling at all of mom's same old desperate tricks. Thanks for having Willy Wonka hair. And thanks for not realizing how embarrassing it is to wear your sisters purple velvet jacket.

We all love Mila's Daydreams.

And I think it's safe to say we all love my little Sonny Delight.

You know you have thought about doing it. maybe you already have. Or maybe you worried I'd think it was lame (cause i make fun of most things) Maybe you're afraid i'd think you were obsessed with me and wanted to wear my skin. If so, please slap yourself in the face, and remember that teamBoo is about spreading the l♥ve, rather than being impressive (plus: i totally shanked it from Mila, remember??)

So pull those random blankets and ridiculous thrift store finds out of the laundry room, and create some "tummy time" artwork (we say "tummy" at our house, and "smoochies" and "bum"...you can take the mom away from the kids, but you can't take the kids out of the mommy?? wait, i mean you literally CAN...but you know what i mean, shut up). Anyway, the best part is you don't even need a defenseless baby to play!! You can use your defenseless kids, animals, or even significant others ;)

Here's an example of a awesome go getter who has already made it happen (and whose friend, who never thought I would see it, left a comment that totally dogged mine. HA! busted. ;) check it:

(up, up and away by team cowan. love it.)

*And if your lucky, I might even make a prize for my fave...since i know how much you all LOVE my handywork (admit it, you were a little embarrassed for me) But i don't care cause practice makes perfect haters.

(but that's a big fat maybe, we could always just play for fun?)

now email me those entries (to teamboo2000@yahoo.com titled "my defenseless baby") so i can post them here!

ready, set, go...

(*when i was little we used to have to pay my mom a quarter each time we said "shut up." so now i only pull it out on special occasions. like here. to boss you around)

phoenix "sonny"

This picture is especially for Adam (baby daddy) who is not only a huge basketball fan, but a Phoenix Suns fan ta-boot. Although since we didn't have a Steve Nash wig (sick), we used an afro (cause that's a normal thing to have lying around?? actually we have three :) as a tribute to old school basketball with the short shorts and the knee high socks. As you can see from this picture sonny got completely into character...

(see other defenseless baby shots like this here here here here here here and here.)

*also: don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to comment for a chance to win my super fabulous (not really) team boo pillow.

whoville

Sonny's baby documentation just wouldn't be complete without a shout out to his likeness of the Whoville mayor (...who befriends a sweet elephant, you know the one.)

What do you think??...

(see other defenseless baby shots like this here here here here here and here.)

*Also Leigh vs. Laundry is determined to fill as much of the blogosphere with happiness as she can. If a little picture of my Sonny Delight doesn't help that cause, i don't know what can.

the SUNdance kid

Sonny reminded me of the kid on Christmas Story when his mom gets him ready for a cold day at school with like 17 layers of clothing on. He just sat there like a dead fish. i was laughing so hard.

(only, i sounded like this....muhuhuwahh!)

He's so tough he can hold a cactus with his bare hand!

...eat your heart out Robert Redford.

(what a weird saying..."eat your heart out??")

*here's an example of how easy this kid makes these pictures. Also proof for CPS that I am not torturing him...

so when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong.

wanna hear something 75% hillarious, but 100% pathetic?

...today after i posted about my glorious teamBoo pillow giveaway. you know the one. the one that isn't perfect but is free and awesome? the one where all you have to do is comment that you are already a teamBoo follower (cause i have eyeballs and i know you're there) and you are in the running?

i'll tell you what happened....i LOST two followers.

I realize the heart is a little big and the talking part looks a wee bit like a clam foot, but seriously are you guys allergic to free stuff? Are you afraid that since i always tell you how scummy i am, there will be boogers on it or something?? Do you not like LOVE?!? this is about encouraging me to keep sewing guys. sheesh ;)

Then Sheamus pooped in the bath. you know, the kind that breaks into a bajillion pieces but that are still too big to go down the drain. Adam played the "sensitive gag reflex" card (said in a dopey voice that he'd claim he sounds nothing like), and i cleaned it up solo.

BUT its cool cause then Elyott (who BTW came home from school today in a thrifted full unicorn costume that my sister surprised her with during carpool...amazing) reminded me that, amongst all her very precocious verbal skills, she still refers to the Falcon (her school mascot) as a "Phallic-on"

...that always makes me giggle. i'm basically a ten year old boy inside.

munchkin land

this really doesn't do Sonny's "lollipop guild" hair justice, but you get the idea....

staying grounded.

The thing I always forget about punishments is that you actually have to carry them out.

And sometimes that can be a lot of work :/ If you go so far as to ground them for the day, you must be fully committed to the possibility of having to entertain them....like, all day. Unless you're prepared to listen to 24 hr whining, which could always lead to more grounding ;) So think twice before you say the words, cause you may be in for a long day my friend.

But could it also be the smartest thing I've done all summer?? Cause after a day like this, I ultimately have nothing but gratitude for this undivided time I've had to love on my kids. Forget the chores, online browsing (eghm showering)...cause clearly what i didn't know was that a full day committed to nothing else but these little turds was just what I needed. A day to slow it down and appreciate their sweet little spirits, one on one, just as they are today. After all, these kids are the the greatest gift i will ever know...so if it takes a little mischief on their part to get my attention, bring on the "punishments"

*also, if you need answers as to what is going on with Sheamus....

It's ridiculous how charming this movie is

meet my little "Ash"

he's nothing short of obsessed.

June in Arizona can suck it.

We are taking a litte AZ hiatus. Not even a week in to our vacay, and not a dull moment. Hopefully I can capture some of it for a summer video?? Im already kicking myself for the things i havent filmed (ryder being carried away on a stretcher, our cabins flooding in yosemite...I think it's because I resent my janky camera. eheghm, Adam) Stay tuned....
