What better place to create art than on the back of every seat in my van? Any suggestions for removal of ink from vinyl?

Cyst

Janna begged and begged for me to take her to the doctor for this bump on her stomach. After about a month when I realized it wasn't going away, I made an appointment for her. I called Jay and asked if he could watch the other kids while I took her to the doctor. He opted to take her to the doctor instead. After numbing Janna, he cut the cyst open and wanted to remove it in one piece. Apparently Janna was freaking out and couldn't handle it, so he dug around with some tool, and flushed it all out. Jay said it was pretty nasty. I don't think Janna will be wanting to go to the doctor again any time soon.

We had a fun time in Las Vegas. The first day was more adult-ish with the garden show. The kids loved the second day with gondola rides at the Venetian, and games and rides at Circus Circus.

Crafty

Saturday we had a Relief Society Super Saturday full of crafts, which I love to do when someone else tells me what to do. The idea part is hard for me. Anyway, I made these, which I am in LOVE with, and want to make lots more. Maybe for my kids rooms. Someday when they have rooms versus one room. Off track again. I also made necklaces for all the girls, and some "Ho Ho Ho" Christmas blocks. It was a busy day. I had Janna with me to help with Suzee, but she ended up doing most of the craft stuff while I held Suzee. Thanks Amy and Dustin for watching the other 6. They had a blast.

LabraWHAT?

Labradane- A mix between a Labrador and a Great Dane. Meet Tiger, who joined our family on Friday (much to my dismay).

The kids are thrilled. I'm not.

He's six weeks old and cute- for now.
