Vote for the Best Stimulus Plan

With the current political climate and questions about the economy, the following three candidates have proposed a stimulus package to improve our livelihoods.

Mak- Her package involves setting aside funds to improve the quality of life for butterflies and dolphins.  There is also an earmark to research the existence of fairies and leprechauns.

Perry- His plan calls for cutbacks in the defense of pirate attacks against the U.S.  He feels that pirates should be able to get more pirate treasure.  That treasure would then be infused into the local economies of their hometowns.

Bentley- Her plan is to focus on the the small people.  She feels that the smaller the company the better. She feels that large corporations get too much freedom to do what they want, and that the small businesses should be able to do what they want, when they want to.  She is by far the most vocal candidate.

Oh Perry! My Silly Little Man!

Today Perry started saying "I'm crazy about you Mom!" He always knows how to make me feel so good. He always tells me that I look so pretty. In the morning he says "Mom you have pretty crazy hair." After a good workout he says "Mom, you look so pretty and sweaty." And every Sunday morning he says "I like your dress Mom, you look so pretty." He sure does know how to make me feel good about myself.

The other night I was getting Perry in the bath and had locked me, all three kids, and Roman in the bathroom. Perry took off all his clothes to get in the tub and Roman thought it would be a good time to formally introduce himself to Perry by sniffing and nipping his little Perry. Perry grabbed himself and screamed "MOM! He's trying to bite my tail!" I've never seen my little boy so terrified in his life. I laughed for 10 minutes straight.

I love you Perry, you are such a joy to be around. Thank you for being so sweet to me and your sisters.

Huntington Beach 1/2 Marathon

This past Sunday we played church hooky to support the runner of the family.  We got there nice and early so that we could take the shuttle to the starting line, however the shuttles decided not to show up.  With 20 minutes to the start of her heat Moka took off for a 2.5 mile run/warmup to the starting line.  The kids and I were pretty excited to see her run so we took up some prime real estate close to the finish line and ended up not seeing her.  She was too fast.  She ended up finishing in the top 10% of her age group with a time of 2:03, including two bathroom breaks.  She is the BEST!  Good Job!  She has been sleeping ever since then.

Recap of the Week

Tuesday and Wednesday were so loooong! Makayla was sick and home from school which means I was home all day too. Since I couldn't leave my sick little girl at home all alone I had to resort to the treadmill. Ugh! Roman was very content in just watching until mile 4. It started with some sniffing of the treadmill and before I knew he was on the treadmill he was flying off the treadmill and slid across the hardwood floor. I guess 7.5mph can really launch a puppy! He was so moapy the rest of the day.

Thursday the kids had dentist appointments. It was Perry's very first visit to the dentist. Perry was a little nervous about what was going to happen but with a little tour of the office, some latex gloves and checking out the chair and light he was good to go.

Saturday we went to the Renaissance to play in the snow. The kids had a ton of fun throwing snowballs and drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows. Mike even pulled some marshmallows out of the kids ears, he is quite the magician.This is Madison and Makayla.

Bikini or Bust

So Friday, Patience and I took off with NO kids and went to LA. We went to Ashley Paige to have custom bikinis designed. Since I have to have instant gratifacation I bought 2 while we were there and she's making another for me, Mike wasn't to happy with me.....ooops! The cool thing about the swimsuit I'm wearing in the picture is that the only other person who has it is Courtney Love and I know I look better in it since she's disgusting! While we were there we met Linda Ramone whose husband was in the band The Ramones, and we met Daniella Clarke who is a designer and creator for Frankie B and Dittos, which I was wearing a pair while we were there thank goodness. I also booked a job, and I will be walking the catwalk in an Ashley Paige swimsuit! I'm so excited! Patience is now my new agent, and she gets 15%! We are such a good team. But the best part of meeting Ashley was doing it with Patience and NO kids! Thanks boys for letting us get away for an afternoon!

The New Baby!

We welcomed a hairy baby boy into the world last week. His name is Roman Ollie Allen. All of the kids are happy to have a new baby brother. He is learning to not eat trash and other dogs poop.

SANTA!!

It has been so hard for us to get into the Christmas season! It's 60 degrees out at it's coldest! So, to try and get in the spirit we went to Fashion Island with the Roney's, grabbed some dinner and with 7 kids in tow went to go see Santa. Mak and Perry were so excited but Bentley clearly didn't like him and I don't think Santa was so sure of her either. This is definately my favorit picture ever!! I L-O-V-E LOVES IT!

Afterwards we went to see the 150ft. christmas tree and play on the giant packages.

Afterwards we rode on the carousel and finished the night off with some peppermint hot chocolate.

I suppose it's starting to feel like Christmas. We do have a Christmas tree although it's not decorated. I guess I'll go work on that now. Merry Christmas!!!
