approaching twelve

I've got a headache just thinking about it.
It's imminent though, isn't it?
--------------------
As we prepare to celebrate with cake and candles, we've also seen a kid who is now 4'7" and weighs just over 70 lbs (my little lightweight). His freckles are too numerous to count and his big feet (size 5 1/2) are hard to keep in shoes (because he either wears them out or stretches until they are too tight.)
------------------
Let's not talk about all the other endeavors he is curious about...
Look closely...the guard is still on! ;)
Under close supervision, I suppose, I can handle a bit of this.
------------------
But I am ready. Camera in hand. He won't forget a second of it.With that in mind, I've caught some other unwittingly OCD tendencies floating around this house lately. Everyone has met the camera shy girl below. It cracks me up how creative she is getting with finding ways to make sure her face is NOT in focus...
Chato has gone organization crazy lately. We laugh at how things must sit just so to allow for the maximum use of space. And to that end, he got into the cabinets and "categorized" the canned goods. No more searching for a lost can of spaghetti-Os in this house!
All in all, there's hope for this family...
Aly posed for a picture and knew exactly what she was doing.

And the picture of C totally made me smile...that is me with our spice cabinet..of course it doesn't last long AT ALL, lol and usually it is me that isn't putting them back in the right spot;)
