It's Been Awhile, So...

Because it's been SO very long {yesterday} since my last post, I thought I'd fill you in on what the Chaos has been up to recently....

Adam decided to have a sweet tat of me put on his lower forearm.  Who wouldn't want that face staring out from your arm for the rest of your life?  He's looking for artists to do an entire sleeve that will include bloopers from our wedding day and action scenes of the birth of our five children.
Thanks to his brilliant efforts in creating a new financial system where the gold standard was replaced with origami animals, Benjamin Conlin replaced Benjamin Franklin on the 100 dollar bill.  Seeing as how we trade in origami animals these days anyway, it really didn't matter whose face appeared on the bill, and as an added bonus, the nick name for the $100 bill, "Benjamin," was saved.
His "building Lego stuff" hobby quickly progressed into a complete and comprehensive mastery of engineering, when Luke built himself a real-life, fully functioning Iron Man suit, complete with turbo boosters that allow him to fly and the JARVIS operating system.

Josh's adorableness was discovered at last, and his darling mug can now be seen on display at The Guggenheim for the low price of four origami pigs and one origami penguin, children under 3 are free, but please restrain them from touching the photo.  
With the kids back in school, I've been doing some emotional eating...a lot of emotional eating.
Sorry Mountain Ridge Middle School.  Zac will not be returning after Labor Day.  He received his letter by owl today!  We are so proud.  We have a wizard in the family!
And Tommy turned into a scary/cute alien.  No.  That's just scary.
 But really...we've just been having a lot of fun with Adam's new photo app.  :)

You are hilarious. I'll admit you had me going on the tattoo thing.
