I'm so not a girly-girl mom...

... well, in most ways that's true. Take for instance hair bows... each of the girls have probably worn a bow in their hair maybe 2-3 times, TOTAL. I really do wish I was that mom that can do cute hair styles or always has cute bracelets or jewelry for the girls, but to be quite honest I can get so consumed and overwhelmed with just making sure they are dressed with clean underwear/diaper that I completely forget that they need to be GIRLS and have cute hair and stuff.

This morning I decided I needed to have my girls at least resemble GIRLS... hot pink nail polish coming right up!





It actually was the funniest thing to tell Brooke that I was going to paint her toenails. She ran to the office and pulled out Sam's paint set and said 'here mama, here your paint'. I laughed so hard... it really was quite cute. I took the girls to my bathroom and sat them on the counter and painted Sam's toes first so Brooke could see what it would look like. By the time it was Brooke's turn she was so excited. Once I finished her toes I set her on the floor and she started to get very upset and rubbing her toes on the rug (don't worry... they were dry) and then she starting crying. Apparently her toes were cute to her while she was sitting, but once she walked around and saw that the paint was stuck to her toes it really freaked her out. I left the paint on - she will get over it - but it's hilarious watching her walk funny and staring at her toes.

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
