Ninja Pie: freaks and weirdos.

I had a birthday in there- 34th one i think...

I post this not for the expectation of well wishes from my absent readers, but rather I wanted to document what my children gifted to me.

They made me a cake- knowing my love of baking- on their own they baked and decorated me a cake..cause they rock like that.

They each decorated one side- or area.. I would have posted my heap of photos, but there is very literally- a heap.

now if the cake alone didn't prove their combined rock-dom

perhaps the icing Dalek by my 14 year old son...

Of all the things i expected when expecting- and beyond- of this gig called motherhood no one mentioned that you get to raise your children to be freaks.

utter.leg.painting.freaks.

This would be my husband's oddly fluffy leg- and my daughter's art work.. this image makes me think that a very fitting pirate name would be "old plaid leg"..

Although now that I recall.. the image below was taken a few years ago and springs to mind- that he was already given the pirate name of 'captain gaylord'.

We had some first day's of school at our house...

Ya know I am one of the teary moms who stands in the corner even though the teacher REALLY wants you to go home..

the one who is told that this is a rite of passage- and not to worry because she will have fun..

and you are supposed to leave with your tissue and wait with baited breath until the end of the day.. and than get over yourself.

But i am more like the one who thinks this BICT...erhm.."stranger" who calls herself a teacher has a lot of nerve taking MY baby's time ALL day from me.. me-who has a right mind to grab said baby out of said "stranger's" arm's and run.

Maybe or maybe not involving kicks to kindergarten teacher's shins...

(i feel the need to interject that her teacher is actually a sweetheart and no violence became her the first day of school- not from my hand's ..or feet anyway ...I don't know what kind of cock fightin' life she lead's after she hustle's her stolen treasure's home for the day)

seriously Look at this girl-

I am FAIRLY certain she was born about 15 minutes ago.. school?!?

ARE YOUR FLIPPING INSANE???

although I like the pictures here, the first one- at home with shear excitement, the next- you can almost feel the nervousness..look at her little face.

by the way- she chose this outfit because she wanted to dress *goth* for her first day-

that roughly translated says "i have a teenaged sibling"

The picture below is from the first day she went to meet her teacher, not a full day but I am a mother- so i brought my camera..

You may not know it but this shot is posed.. all Chime.. She went back opened the door and stood there facing away from the camera with one leg perched in the air.

see.. I raise em' right!
