Chant Time With The Workman Girls

I can't believe I almost forgot this. Do you remember being a young girl between the ages of, oh say 6 and 13? (Please forgive me male readers) Does your memory recollect making up silly songs and chants to almost everything and anything? Mine does!
Well, the Workman girls made up this cute chant for all the cousins that were in Arizona over Spring Break. You see, there is John Russel, Jack (who's middle name is Ross), Wally, Will, Mary Kate, Bea and Mae. The Chant goes like this.

Oh, if you're wondering double dub is for Wally Workman and Will Workman. Get it? Double W's! AND....if you're from the south W's are pronounced Dubbya!

Isn't this just the funnest!

Again?
OK!

Well....I can't believe it's over. In my nephew Jack's words, "It feels like we just got here!"

This past week has been a whirlwind of fun. Having family in town is always exciting, but the departure date is always sad. We miss the Workman 6 already. Here are a few pics of all the fun!

Another Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Selle!
Happy Birthday to you!

I hope your day is filled with fun and laughter, dear sister. I hate that I can't wish you a happy day in person. I'm so blessed to call you sister and friend.

Love you!

Happy Birthday Mimi!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Mimi!!!

We love you so much.

We can't wait to see you!

My Girl

I've got Sunshine on a cloudy day!



When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May!

I guess you'd say, What can make me feel this way?

My Girl! My Girl! My Girl! Talking 'bout My Girl!

My Girl!!!!!!!

Stong Genes!

*Graci.....so sweet, but she Broke The Mold*

Why don't I have a more recent picture--Horrible, horrible Aunt

*Stinker Will....Too young for the pic below....but he could fit right in with those looks*

*Workman Cousins circa 2005*
*Will was present, but in my tummy*

Ok...So here are some Workman cousins. This picture was taken a few years ago and it is missing a cousin or two. But it doesn't matter because one particular cousin broke the mold and doesn't look like the rest....so it doesn't matter. (yes, sweet Graci, YOU matter...but not for this post) Will....you look like the rest, but I don't have a group shot including you...Gina and Nanci help a sister-in-law out will ya!

See...What I'm getting at is this....They all look so so so much alike! They could all be mistaken for siblings. A few of them maybe even twins if there wasn't such an age difference. It's downright crazy....eerie....weird!!!

I'm feeling a little nostalgic. Call it living so far away or maybe it's that some of these rugrats are coming to visit in a few weeks. I don't know, but it's made me start to thinking....

Thinking about how strong these Workman genes are!!!! Lord have mercy! Could I have married into a stronger gene pool! I can't get over it. The brothers all look alike, too. Granted...two of the four ARE twins, but my goodness they could seriously be mistaken for quads! It's downright crazy scary.....weird....eerie!

We all can't wait for the Workman 6 to come and visit. They will be here in about a week. We can't wait to show them the ways of the Wild West!

Most of all we all can't wait to see each other and have so good ol' cousin fun!

I can't wait to see who looks more like who this time!

I'm not bitter.....I promise!

All I'm sayin' is that it sure is a good thing that they are all stinkin' cute!!

Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

It has been hot, hot, hot! We even broke a record yesterday. It was 91! We went swimming. The pool is heated so it was ok, but it was windy at when the kids got out they were a little chilly. My raccoon eyes tanline has gotten more pronounced. I've been using sunscreen, but the good ol' sun still gets through! I guess I'm going to have to brave the great outdoors without my sunglasses.....or walk around looking like a raccoon....What do you think?

We have also been busy, busy, busy! This week is reading week at school. The big kids have had lots of fun activities going on. Will and I are helping decorate doors and reading to classes! I think we have something at the school almost everyday this week!

It's crazy times, but I love it!

*I didn't take the camera to the pool yesterday. If I had to carry one more thing someone was going to cry....probably me!!
