Oh I love being a girl!

How fun is this? Dress up all day everyday.
This itty bitty bikini top is for an infant she just really wanted to try it on.
She says oh mom I like it!
James calls it a booboo cover.

First day

Just a report on James first day. While waiting to pick him up. I'm feeling more like a mom than usual. I have experienced several stages in my kids lives where I feel more like a mom than other times. One other was when the kids were being rambunctious at bed time and I had to tell them to settle down or else. Just these weird pictures of me doing something that I may or may not remember my mom or dad doing, then bam it's me, I'm a parent, weird.
So I wait. Tell them who I'm picking up. Wait. Make it all the way to the front of the line. Notice a slew of kids standing outside but my child is not. Yikes! I see the principle she asks who I'm picking up. James......then I see James teacher go inside 5 minutes later out comes James with a monster grin.
Hops in the car and away we go.
Mom some kids ate in the cafeteria.
Well where did you eat?
In the cafeteria, butI want the schools lunch!
Really? Well I'll look into that. How was your day?
Good. I have 2 new friends. And a new girlfriend.
Oh boy. That's great.
What did you do after lunch?
So and so was having a hard time listening today. But he was helpful so it was better.
Oh.
I ate all my lunch. But some lady threw my chips away before I was finished. I said hey! I was gonna eat those!
Well make sure if you still want your food to put it back in your lunchbox.
Yeah.

I couldn't get much out of him after that. Just a few things scattered throughout the day. I do know that I heard not a peep from his room as soon as we shut the door. Kindergarten must be tiring.

So helpful

I've got help watering plants and cooking dinner. What more could a girl want?

Halloweenmyface

It's an app. Pretty hilarious!

Nostalgia

We took our baby boy to kindergarten today. Ahhhhhhhhh!
Yes I'm feeling sad about that. I enjoy spending time with him and realize now that 5 years have just blown by.
I am so excited to hear of his first day.
I also made a checklist for him so he would know exactly what to do this morning. He really loves checking things off and making lists. I never had to say go do that, do this. Blah blah. Let's hope he keeps this up! Now little miss wants one too!

Don't go ugh

Lately Scarlett has been waking me up at 3 am asking for cold water. Ice cold water. With ice. Every morning.
When that happens I usually sigh very loudly or growl.
Well last night before bed, I filled up her cup full of ice. She says, I will wake up and have you get me ice cold water. Okay? And don't go ugh.

Don't want to forget.

There are some words my kids say that I don't ever want to forget.
James is five and he calls a blanket I made him, Blanklet. Scarlett does too.
They call adults, radults.
Scarlett has always called French fries, ca-fries. Even after we have explained.
Museum, mu-seum-mum.
Throat-throap.
Thriller, fhiller.

I'll think of more. And update.
