Toothfairy will you find me?

How does tooth fairy know where we are? That's a important question for a little girl who's about to lose a tooth especially if she's going on vacation. I just received a call . "Mom guess what my tooth fell out at maw maw's house." I forgot to leave a note for the tooth fairy letting him know I was going to maw maw's do you think he will find me?  Can you put a note under the pillow with maw maw's address so he can. Sure I can but I know the tooth fairy knows where you are and when you lose a tooth. I can here my parents in the background how much does tooth fairy usually leave you and my daughter says five dollars I about died laughing wow girl you have expensive teeth. Wow better take out the money tooth fairy baby girls teeth are expensive.

Is Summer Here Yet?

The countdown to summer is on. Only four more days of school . Can you believe it?  What will we do no homework, no gymnastics, no early bedtime? Only fun filled with musical programs,end of year party,report cards,saying goodbye to friends and teachers (sad). Then the fun begins staying up late,doing arts and crafts, playing games, having fashion shows in the den, going swimming or to a water park. At least that's the wish list in my house. So what are your big plans for the summer?

Surprise additions!





Mom Bella ,Brees & Blaze






Sly & Gizmo

Well just when you think you know whats happening in your house wow you are surprised! We have been I guess you would call it spring cleaning nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. On a Saturday morning May 1,2011 as we were getting ready for the day outside with kids my husband heard a very faint cry. At first was not sure what it was but then it got a little louder so he so he decided to look around the room. He found a litter of kittens in my closet and my cat. Yes I knew my cat went in the yard and sat under the tree when we are outside but she never leaves the yard. Boy was I wrong I guess one of her friends came to visit because now we have to cute kittens one is black and one is tan. The really odd thing is that my husband and I had saved two kittens when we first were married and they look almost identical They were Sly and Gizmo we had them for almost tweleve years before they passed. My daughter loves pets and of course the first question was can we keep them. Since they are only two and its like De Ju Vue we decided they will remain part of our family so we decided to call them Brees and Blaze. Mom Bella, Brees and Blaze are all doing fine and growing really fast they are so cute. We are blessed to have you all in our family and to Sly and Gizmo we miss you!

Helping Mom and Dad

There is nothing more fun than helping out. At least thats what my kids think they are always wanting to be a part of the project. We decided to convert our bed from a queen to a king a few weeks ago .We had never fixed the frame correctly until now. Tyler had the most fun with the tape measure he measured everything in site including me.LOL Lets not leave out Shannon she was a great helper whether it was handing us something we needed or keeping brother occupied. These are the days they will remember. I will here one day mom remember when you let me help you fix the bed that was so fun. The simple things in life are the most treasured although in society we sometimes forget that. Thanks to my big helpers the bedroom is finished and my bed has been fixed.

My Special Day





Picture Day

Perfect
Wow! Picture day at school is very important to a first grader. Decisions, decisions have to be made. I received a letter from school that they would be taking Spring pictures today. My daughter asked me "mom can you fix my hair"? I responded sure would you like to fix it straight or curly? From past experience she was well aware that for her hair to be curly that requires either me to curl every inch with a curling iron or she must sleep in rollers which is very uncomfortable. She stated very quickly I think I would like to try straight this time. I go to get the straightening iron out of the bathroom and she says wait I want to fix it straight she must have thought no maintence just brush and go.  I said baby I am going to fix it straight this will help to keep the frizz down. While working on the hair its time to decide what to wear? Me as mom am thinking fancy dress for Easter pictures so I go get out these two dresses to choose from I will admit they were bridesmaid style. She says no mom I want to wear a Bright colored dress I am taking Spring pictures not going to a wedding or pageant. I was like WOW how old are you? I said I'm sorry will you show me the dress you would like to wear and it was pretty and bright just as requested. I guess I over thought that a little. She says mom can I have a little lip gloss or eye shadow for my pictures. What about a purse or sun glasses? I said well I can do the lip gloss and eye shadow but we are going to have to pass on the purse and the sun glasses these are school pictures. I don't think the school would like all the children bringing all these things from home to keep track of. She was okay with that and when we were finished. She said thanks mom I look very pretty. I totally agree. Left for school with a big smile and that was enough for me. Are picture days important to you or your kids? WHY?

Siblings Love

This is my first attempt at blogging. I have been inspired by several friends to start a blog. So here I go. A siblings love in my opinion is beautiful and unconditional whether you are best friends are never speak the love will always remain. All siblings have there ups and downs that is what makes us bond. Siblings are there when you laugh and there when you cry. Take me and my sister we were best friends growing up as kids I can remember doing a lot together dance, gymnastics, girl scouts,homework,dress up.As we got older we spent less time together we enjoyed different things. I can remember doing her hair and makeup in high school and the day she was married. Although we live separate busy lives now and do not speak on a daily basis. I know that if I ever needed her she would listen.Friends will come and go in our lives but we are sisters forever.

My children on the other hand I am watching grow together. My baby girl  is seven and my little man  is two. A lot of people told me when I was pregnant for my son that my daughter would be jealous. Since she had so many years to herself, many were afraid she would not know how to share. I am happy to report they were wrong. She loves her brother more than anything. She is always very helpful and never leaves him out. Just today after school she setup her Nintendo to play and of course he wants to play too. I here her say "come here buddy."  She handed him the controller of course its not plugged in but he doesn't care. He thinks its his turn. I can here him saying "my turn  my turn". She says Yes buddy that's right its your turn all the while she is controlling the man on the screen. Years from now when they are older I know we will have fights along the way in the end, they will always be there for each other and  that is a wonderful feeling for me as a mother.
