Stephens Family: Random Pictures

, apparently Drama figured out where we live again and decided to strike in spades. Several weeks ago the car died. We think the timing belt went and took part of the engine with it, apparently a problem common to the Aveo. Then the dryer died and then the garbage disposal went. So I had dirty clothes and no way to dry them because it was raining too much to hang them out on the line. I couldn't get them to the nearest laundromat because the car was dead. And then I had to add rotten, foul, soaking wet towels to this pile because the garbage disposal pipe exploded leaving me with a disposal full of food and water that overflowed the cabinet under the sink. Truly, there are times when I HATE being an adult. However, my darling Pirate, light of my life fixed my dryer AND the disposal pipe. Fixed the dang pipe in about 15 minutes after I swore and yelled for over 30 trying to figure it out and getting wet in the process. Aaaiiyy.

On a happier note, here are some recent pictures of our lovely damsels.

"Help! I think my butt is stuck. Help!"

"Don't worry Little Goose, I will save you!"

"Who WAS that girl in the Teething Ring Mask?!"

(Imagine my surprise at seeing that cat picture on going through the pictures on the camera and having THAT jump out at me. I didn't take it, Siale the Photographer did. That picture scared the crap outta me!

Ooohh - speaking of being scared - I tell Siale when she startles or scares me that she "scared the heck outta me." So now, when I startle HER, she says, "oh, you scared me out of heck!!" Aaahhh, man I love that kid.

Here's a video of her being her own cute self (I apologize in advance for the fuzzy focus, it's called breathing. I need a tripod!!):

When I first showed this video to Siale, she laughed hysterically. I hope you will, too. Seriously, this one, little 2-3 minute video makes 9 months of pregnant misery all worthwhile!
