• Well I'm pretty boring lately.  Not a whole lot of stuff is going on here at the Leonard household.  Right now, Lexie and Jamie are gone to her gymnastics class, and Kaleb, Roxie and I are at home doing pretty much nothing.  Roxie just now came up the stairs with her hands hidden behind her back, a sneaky grin on her face, and said "Hi, Mommy!"  and ran into her room really fast.  I yelled at her to come in here and show me what she was hiding, and she said, "Okay, but you can't spank my butt." lol  Turns out it was a receipt from JC Penney that she had gotten out of a bag of stuff I bought there today.  I guess she thought she'd be in trouble for getting into it. 

  I kept Reagan on Tuesday for Brittany.  I told Roxie that she was coming over.  I said, "I wonder what Reagan will have to say today?"  And Roxie said, "Well, Reagan does NOT speak Spanish." lol  This is true, but seeing as how she's only 10 months old, she doesn't really speak English either.  haha  I don't know what goes through her head sometimes.

  I gave Lexie another funky hair-do the other day.  I just made this one up.  Can you tell? haha:

  

  Oh, I also forgot to mention that while I was watching Reagan the other day, Roxie was off playing somewhere by herself for a while.  That is never good.  She came upstairs looking rather guilty (again, hiding her hands.)  I said, "What are you doing?" and she said, "Well I'm just making a hand puppet" and she shows me her hand, which she had balled up into a fist, and where her thumb and fingers meet, she had drawn a bunch of scribbles on her hand.  I guess it was supposed to look like a face.  So I tell her not to write on herself anymore, and send her on her way.  Well later, after I pick the kids up from school, Kaleb yells up at me from downstairs, "Mommy!  Who did this on the wall???"  I go down to investigate and find this:

  

  Looks like she was drawing on more than just her hand.  I'm hoping the Mr. Clean magic eraser will do the trick, although I haven't actually tried to clean it off yet.

  We also went to the movies the other day for James' birthday.  We took the kids to see Hotel For Dogs.  It was pretty good.  Jamie is really wanting to see Taken, so we might do that this weekend.  Now that Twilight is out of the theaters, I don't have anything I want to see. haha  Although I still think I'd like to see Coraline.  I ordered a couple of books online this week.  There's this old spooky movie from the 70s with Patty Duke called "You'll Like My Mother."  I was thinking of it the other day and wishing I could see it again.  It must not have been popular, because it isn't even on DVD.  But as I was looking for it online, I found out that it was based on a book.  All the reviews I read said the book is even better, so I bought it on ebay for 99 cents.  I don't know why I liked that movie.  I think it might have even been a made-for-TV movie.  I saw it in re-runs several times.  It's very weird.  Anyway, I'm excited to read the book.

  Speaking of old shows...we got Roxie the 2nd set of the Smurfs DVDs for her birthday.  I love the Smurfs, and now I've got my kids addicted to it too.  Did you know they're making a Smurfs movie?  I am SO excited. lol  I also loved the Gummi Bears, and they have it on DVD too, so I'm thinking I need to get it.  Now if only I could find Shirt Tales, the Getalong Gang, and Kissyfur on DVD, I'd be set. haha

  I've got several more cakes coming up in the next few months.  Let's see....I'm doing a baby shower cake on Tuesday for some girls at Tarabeth's work....and I have an order for another newspaper cake next week....and I have a guitar cake coming up in March....and somebody ordered a gumball machine cake also, but that's not until May....I'm also going to make a birthday cake for Josiah when they come in next week.  He's turning one year old on the 23rd.  So I've got to come up with something for him.  I went shopping today and got his birthday gift and also one for Jess.  She's going to love her gift.  It isn't what I was going to get her, but Jamie, being the wonderful brother-in-law that he is, went ahead and got it for her.  Let's just say I was going to get her something similar, but he upgraded. lol  I won't say what it is, because she reads this sometimes.

  Well I must be really bored right now, because I've gone on and on about pretty much nothing.  And while I've been typing, Roxie has crawled up into my lap and gone to sleep.  That is not a good thing.  It's about 6:15, so she'll probably take a nap for a few hours, wake up, and be up til midnight.  I hate when that happens.
