I don't know why it bumps our posts up to the front when we edit them. Sorry about that.

So, we made christmas cookies this weekend. With sprinkles. I mistakenly left the two containers of sprinkles on the counter today, and I mistakenly thought it would be a good idea for my kid to own a stepstool. When I noticed he was being too quiet for too long, this is what I walked into the kitchen to see. How did he get them open? How did he drag his stepstool from the other part of the house?

Look at the CRAZED look on his face!

Awwww...but look how happy he is...

Two lego babies. And a real one. OrangeWhip's "Sleepy globe" reminded me to take a picture of this, which I've been meaning to. My son made two "babies" out of legos and carries them around. He tries to get me to breastfeed them. He sleeps with them. They are not the nicest thing to roll over on at night. My bed looks like this: Lego baby, Lego baby, real baby, and I get a little space near the wall.

Me; my house has never been so clean and I taught my ten year old how to play rummy.
I'm setting seroius computer limits for myself now.

Quick, before it goes down again! I set up a message board for hipmamas to connect and ask each other "What the hell is going on with HM?" for when the site is down, since that seems to be pretty often lately.
Register now and bookmark it, so hopefully we won't feel so disconnected again!

I'm trying to fill out a job application. The application they provided is an Adobe .pdf file. Instructions say to save the file to my computer, fill it out, then email it to them. The thing is, I can't type on their adobe file. How am I supposed to fill it out? I don't want to ask the company or I'll sound like I don't know anything about computers, ya know?
I've tried and tried, but the adobe application doesn't seem to even have a type tool.
Can anyone help?

It's time to make the christmas pictures already. I slung a black sheet up tonight and tortured the kids by making them sit close together and act like they were enjoying it. There a few I need to decide between. What do you think? I'm probably only going to print one.

1)
I think this one is cute but the filesize is a little low for good prints:

OK, I probably won't use this one but I think it's funny:

Listed as a kids halloween costume:

...so many levels, I don't even know where to start.

We carved these yesterday. The big one cracks me up every time I look at it. He looks so excited.

For some reason this made me really happy to watch. Probably because I'm a drummer but my kids have never taken any interest in it. He's really feeling the music isn't he? Amazing.
