Miller Mayhem: Randomness

Obviously December is busy for everyone, but with a birthday, baby dedication, and tube surgery I feel like it was a little extra busy for us. So here is my attempt to get all of that randomness into one post.

I am only posting my selfie with Santa to show you this scary/cool thing Google is doing with my picture. After I uploaded it to Picasa this snow effect began. Our Christmas tree picture also did a similar thing, but with glistening lights. It is pretty cool, but scary at the same time that Google is able to tell what is in my pictures. Actually, it's just creepy.

Mary Frances....... In her defense this shirt has been small for her since I bought it, but I ordered it online for $3 and it wasn't worth returning it. When I put it on her I guess I pulled it down far enough that it looked fine until she started moving around. The worst part about this is that I did not notice her belly hanging out until after I had given her a second nutri-grain bar. She is not going to be happy about this picture when she is 13.

My Rook man at school!

This was after Jackson admittedly told me he was not sleepy and did not need a nap. Yea, right.

And while he was asleep in the car I stopped for gas. After we stopped I saw a Santa across the street ringing a bell and thought Mary Frances might like to see him.

Apparently not. This was her face when I pointed him out. Needless to say, we didn't go say hi. Maybe next year.

The next three pictures are just keeping it real! This is just a typical Saturday while Matt is on call. Three kids and one parent equals disaster. I try to let it not bother me, but it does.

And at the end of the night I have to clean everything up. Some nights I wish I could just go to bed and not let it bother me, but I can't do it.

More weekend pictures while Matt is on call. He gets blown up with pictures so he can keep up with the kids. I got some post nap cuddles in with this chick while the boys slept.

And Jackson made me a 'block necklace.' Look out David Yurman, you have some competition.

And on Sunday this dude did some serious snoozing before church

and after as he cuddled with me. I am not sure why, but he would not sleep unless it was with me. The bigs were asleep so I was not complaining.

Here are some more pictures from school. We don's have a desktop at home, only an iPad and laptop so Jackson has never used a traditional mouse other than at school. I didn't even know he could! But the likelihood computers will need a mouse by the time he starts school is slim!

These pictures are from Mary Frances' actual birthday. I had a different dress picked out for her to wear, but this is the one she wanted. She's only 2 and she is already making the rules. God help me.

And in another mommy fail, I didn't make her any special muffins or pancakes so this is what I resorted to. 2 candles in a nutri-grain bar. Maybe she'll forgive me one day.

And this dude, well, he is just a mess. He wanted to see a picture of his Under Armour Super Man socks Gaga gave him. He is going to love this picture even more when he is a senior in high school.

More pictures from school.

I promise Jackson does not have a mullet. His hair was long, but his sweater has a brown fur around the inside of the collar. It also appears that he is about to beat up those other kids, but I am pretty sure that is accurate.

This was from Rook's doctor's appointment where they confirmed he would be getting tubes on December 31. I hope they help him sleep better. Since the end of November he has woken up most every night and the only way he will go back to sleep is if I feed him. I am going with it for now, but after his tube surgery he is on his own. This mama is worn out!

These pictures are from Rook's baby dedication below are not only funny, but accurate. Franny is crying, Rook looks confused and Jackson just wants some candy. Story of our lives.

A big thanks to Grandmaw and Pawpaw for the playhouse for Christmas and Frann'y birthday. The kids love playing in it! And being able to play in shorts outside 4 days before Christmas makes it even better.

Daddy and Franny just hanging out on the back porch.

I had to throw this in here. Rook on the top and Jackson on the bottom.

And I FINALLY took Jackson for a haircut. Lauren cut for days and actually had to use the thinning sheers. This has NEVER happened to me.

And last and most certainly least, I captured my June Clever attire. I was cooking in a skirt and hose. All I needed was my stand of pearls and I would have had to start calling Jackson Beaver. I mean, I broke out an apron! It was a momentous occasion.
