wow, these things are hard. Do I joke? Am I serious? Do I give a list (I'm a baby-wearing, cosleeping, cloth-diapering, vaccination-delaying....you know the drill)
ummmm...I'm gonna go with none of the above.
THE CAST:
googiemomma
aka "the momma", aka Shannon. I am a wife, going on 12 years, to a Mr. googiedaddy (not what he goes by in real life). I am aged....um, old enough to have 5 kids. Sigh. I'm thirty 31 32.
googiedaddy
my other half (and not in a weird multiple personality sort of way) Makes me laugh, makes me happy. also serves as the muscle in this operation.
Together we've created five "googies":
girlfriend-girl
11 going on 27, aka "Little Momma". the quintessential "oldest child". she's my sidekick, and the best kid anyone could ask for.
boyboy
9 years old, aka Little Man. 175% boy.
always in motion.
always pushing my buttons. always making me laugh.
tiny tim
age 7. she's a joker, and she's a princess. best diaper changer in the house. winner of "best eyes", as voted by ummm...me.
baby bear
age 3, aka "Little Bear". she loves horses, stuffed animals of all sorts, and ELMOELMOELMO. (and long walks on the beach, dinner by candlelight...) also recently ousted from her position as baby of the house, and not taking it well.
five
newest member of the googiehaus. right now her interests are limited to milk and her hands. also the recipient of Many Kisses and Multiple Unnecessary Diaper Changes from older sisters who can't get enough of her. (her brother mainly sticks to just kisses)
why googies? it's the term my dad coined for his grandbabies, and now its kind of stuck.
Yes, 5. Yes, they're all mine. Yes, I was actually voted "most likely to have the most kids east of the Mississippi" in high school. Or something like that.
I sew, but not well. I kind of make it up as I go.
I bake, but not well. I kind of make it up as I go.
I take pictures, but not well. I kind of make it up as I go.
I think I may be slightly ADD, since I can't seem to stick with one project long enough to finish it.
Generally, I hate what I've made.
Except for my kids.
I only hate them sometimes. :0)
(Okay, so I guess we're going with funny)
(Or at least we're trying)
P.S.--Since we're sharing, I'm a stickler for the following: your vs. you're, their vs. there, and it's VOILA for cryin' out loud! IT'S FRENCH PEOPLE--it's NOT "waa-lah" or "walaah" or "wahlaa". That is all.
