I put Chapsticks on my kids when they sleep

I do, It's the truth. I put chapstick on my kids when they are asleep. They get really dry lips and horribly chapped if I don't. Samantha and Ethan have been fighting me lately about applying it during the day so the lips on these children have become very chapped, so i have started my winter ritual of chapsticking it up while they sleep. Sam's is so bad that it woke her up last night from the pain, but i will continue to do it every night until they are better. When they were babies I would cut their nails while slept, it always made it a lot easier. So, bring it on winter. The Koepfle's are chapsticked and ready to roll.

so sweet

when we went to parent teacher conferences we waited in the hallway for the other parents to be done and on the wall was a display of things the kids were grateful for next to their pictures. this was paiges. I got a little misty eyed. she is so sweet.

colors

I am making candle holder blocks that say "family" and "love" and "winter" and a few others. I can't figure out what I want to paint the winter ones. they are a 3 and a half by 3 and a half square block. I had thought about dark blue with white letters but I feel that might be too much blue and won't match peoples decor. I thought about doing black with white letters, but again, is it too muxh black? I need ideas. help!

friend

we have a new member in out family. samantha has named him mr. shoe douglas bug. he is a fly (pictures to come,hopefully). he came into our home about 2 weeks ago and refuses to leave. we tried to free him but have had no success. don't be worried if you see him at holidays from now on. paige and I were joking about getting a mini loius vitton(sp?) bag to carry him in like people do with dogs.

(this picture has nothing to do with him. I just like it. taken about 5 minutes ago)
