StuntWOman EV

.

Recently, Elayna has started falling on purpose. (On purpose? Haha.) Then she expects someone to help her up. Before this clip, she crawled over to me and asked if I would help her up. What a nut.

Goofy Girls

One's making a funny face and another's flashing us.

LAND FER SALE

In Columbus, GA, where no child is left behind.

Baby Leaves

Yesterday we spent the afternoon on a walk and at the park. We had a ton of fun. The weather was absolutely perfect. Elayna tried picking up every leaf we walked by so they could be her babies. What an imagination this girl has!

Quesadillas

I LOVE how Elayna LOVES to help me in the kitchen and "watch what Mama do." Here she is stirring for the quesadillas we're gonna have for lunch. We're making pizzelles later and she'll help with those too.

Scowly Shots

This was her expression BEFORE the shots. Imagine her face after the vaccinations.

Personality Test

I found a free personality test online after reading Cheri's post about a color's personality test.  One of my Harding professors issued a Myers-Briggs test, emphasizing the importance of knowing your personality so that you can be most effective and efficient in your personal and professional life.  I was an ESTP back in 2003 and still am today.  After taking this short test, you'll receive a four letter combination.  Please PLEASE take this test and then leave me a comment with your personality.  (This is really what I wanted to go to college for, psychological testing, but too many people told me to go social work, which I love but still hope to get a master's in psychology... one day.)  It takes less than five minutes.  Unless you're a slow reader, then maybe eight.

ESTP - "Promotor". Action! When present, things begin to happen. Fiercely competitive. Entrepreneur. Often uses shock effect to get attention. Negotiator par excellence. 4.3% of total population.
Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)

And here is what each letter represents:


I found this online and am embarrassed to admit it fits me perfectly.  (Click on it to zoom.)
So what's your personality?

Gotta live the crazy hair.

Whoops. Autocorrect wants us to live the hair. Not love it. We can do both.

Ryan almost died today.

Ryan went hunting since it's the last day of the season. But the only blood spilt was his own. When he came home hours early, I saw the blood on his face and got really excited thinking he had killed something. Like he'd gutted a deer and had been splattered.  NOPE. The stand broke, he fell 16 feet into a brier bush and then bounced into water. (Haha.) Poor guy. He's okay. Got a sprained ankle but he's alright. And needless to say, he's done for the day.

EV with her Tony

Tonight was our congregation's song night. Let me just say that two and a half hours of fellowship and worshiping God is absolutely amazing! Afterwards we clean up. Here is Elayna with Tony. He (aside from Bible class) is the reason she is sooo excited to worship. (Candy probably has something to do with it... AND he let's her do fun stuff like ride around on a broom.)

Nap Time

Can you see Elayna half-hidden by her book, stuffed horse, Grover, and blankets? Now can you see her cat Juju snuggled right up next to her bottom? They're so cute!

Lazy Sunday

Here they are after a nice steak dinner, which was delicious of course.

Oh deer, oh deer.

How do you make an awkwardly oversized venison shoulder stay in the slow cooker, where it's supposed to be? You get creative. 10+ pounds oughta hold it. (I hope it tastes better than it smells.)

"Is that a joke?"

That's what my husband asked when I read to him one of my friend's profile updates. The update was, "There are three types of people in this world: those who can count... And those who can't." Yes Ryan. It's a joke.

Bwahahaha

Elayna put her sunglasses on Juju and got so excited. Um, Elayna, wrong end.

Never a dull moment. Ever.

Survival

This is how I make it through my day. Miss Fussy Britches insists once again on being held. So in the wrap she goes! My survival mode. Look at her sucking her thumb. Cutie.

Mmmm

Eating a yummy PBJ (instead of the nice pasta dinner) while wearing a handmade bib from Aunt Lori. Thank you very much! We love the bibs!

It's Mati's treadmill. Not mine.

I think my dog runs on the treadmill more than I do. And I can't believe I just admitted that! Every time I even go near the thing Mati gets very excited. At first she tried jumping on it with me. Now she will wait very eagerly til I invite her on. She just loves to run and thinks we bought the thing just for her and her alone. Anyone else have a dog this weird?

Boppy Battle

Elayna's wriggling to get comfortable. Mati's wriggling to play. It looks like they're fighting over the pillow.

B e a utiful!

She dressed herself today. I especially love the mismatched socks and arm sticking out of the head hole.
