How we roll in Iowa

I'm not going to lie Iowa has changed us (that's a lie :)). We do things different in Iowa. The pure awesomeness of Iowa has seeped into our very souls and makes us do crazy and outlandish things that we would never have done before (once again lying. I just like to blame things on Iowa :) ). Like-

now we have "moose-staches" as Emma calls them. (I thank the moosetache books:))
"ah, Luigi, whata you talkin' about, aye?"
Fox is not a fan of moose-staches.
Hahaha!! You've got to love this picture!! Liam is trying to look sophisticated with his moose-stache, and Emma has hers on her nose. I told her to put it back on, so we could take a picture with all of us, and thats where she put it!! LOL!
But in Iowa we come home to fancy flowers for our birthdays (well, at least mine) (I like that part of Iowa :)).
This next part is for you Ma. I know you'd be proud. :D

And finally,
In Iowa we take up dumpster diving.
but we look cute while doing it :D
But Let me tell you, it was worth it!
Look at what we got-
A beautiful new head and foot board for our bed!!
I also tried to salvage a nice couch. It was perfect! It matched my other couch (the nice one not the burnt orange one, although that too would be AWESOME!) But unfortunately after hours of trying to clean it, we couldn't get the stupid smoke smell out. :( If you ever need one reason not to smoke here it is-

It keeps mormon dumpster divers from stealing your trash.

If that's not enough of a reason, I don't know what is.
"Which brings me to my next point- don't do crack."

Oh wait! I have one more awesome Iowa change. You may want to empty your bladders first though cause it'll make you wet your pants. Here it is- the famously talked up -Liam playing video games :)
Well I guess thats all. Until the next Iowa adventures. Goodbye and good night...day :)

I like that Liam has a soccer shirt on with his moostache! It makes him look very Italian!
Was that headboard seriously in a dumpster?! That place needs a DI like nobodys business! I'm glad you are cashing in on their DI-lessness. :)
