So Friday Karesa & I did PWAT. As you can see, I did my own color mixing which did not turn out so well. Is it gorgeous? No. Will it go behind my bedroom door like my other 8? Yes. But did we have a BLAST? YESSSS!!!!! Can't wait for the April schedule to come so I can pick out what I'm going to paint!!! :)

Kids say the darndest things! vol 1
JACKSON
Mom had told me about this guy attempting to abduct a 7 yr old from a Wal-Mart but the girl was rescued due to the girls actions. She began yelling & screaming for help; which is when the guy put her down & fled.
So on the way to the mall today I decided to ask the kids what they would do if we were in Target & a stranger picked them up & tried to take them to the parking lot. Well McKenna said the usual "yell, scream, wave my arms, yada yada". This was the conversation between Jack-Jack & I:
JACK: Well I would just kick him.
mom: Ok, that's good. But what if he's alot bigger than you & just picks you up?
JACK: Well I'd just karate chop him. (dead serious, no smile)
mom: OK, but Jack, what if he's bigger than daddy & he knows karate too?
JACK: Momma! I already told you! I would just karate chop him in the leg & he would go away!
McKENNA
The kids have taken their baths together since they were babies. When Kenna turned 5 I started having them taking separate baths, but not necessarily like "OH you cannot see you sister naked". Our usual nighttime routine is Kenna takes a bath while Jack takes a shower (all in master bath).
Well tonight I noticed McKenna acting a little different around him & making sure she was covered & blah blah. So while I was putting on her PJs I asked her if she wanted Jackson to move his shower to the guest bath. This was our EXACT conversation:
mom: Baby, do you not like it when Jackson takes his shower while you take your bath?
KENNA: Ummm ... well .... I don't like him out of the shower or in the shower .....
mom: Well ... ok .... we'll work something out :)

A few great 'finds' I had to share ...
So I've found a few things this weekend/week that may interest you ... if not there's still a cute photo of the kids at the end to entertain you .....
So thanks to my friend Jana I have found this AMAZING iPhone app, Lose It! Love it!! -- Lose It! website
Found this free parenting seminar to go to @ SB Families website. The author of "1-2-3 Magic for Christian Parents" was the speaker & we really learned alot. (I dragged Jana along as my +1.). So the seminar was just an overview for the book, so I'm in the process of reading the book now. To be continued .... -- 1-2-3 Magic website
Then came across these cute shirts @ Walgreens today, but found a much greater selection on their website -- Sweet Thing Apparel website
Maybe you can use this info...maybe not; either way, have a great day :)
P.S. As promised, here is a cute photo of the kiddos in the adorable shirts their Aunt Katie bought them. (In case you can't read it, the shirts say: Big Sis McKenna & Lil Bro Jackson.)
PPS Adding my favorite organization blog "I love organization"; pay special attention to her March Challenge: Household Binder! (Thanks Lorna for being as dorky as me & loving it as much as me...lol!!)

working at the carwash
Well it was kind of a slow week around the Poole house, picture wise, so I thought I'd post my absolute favorite picture of the last 5 years for you to enjoy .......
~ photo dated March 2011 ~
McKenna & Jack-Jack were washing their car over at Papa & Nana's when Kenna decided she needed to be cooled off a little. Needless to say I did correct this behavior; but only after I snapped the picture...LOL!!! The look on Jackson's face is PRICELESS!!!!
I'll definitely be pulling this one out for McKenna's "sweet 16"! :)

Jubilee Zoo - Blanchard, LA
So here is my first attempt (this year) at trying to keep folks updated (without facebook) on what's going on with the Poole's and our precious kiddos! So no promises, but let's aim for maybe a post once a week with photos and see how that goes!?!? We'll see ....
