Sleeping Beauty

We were all watching tv together after eating my huge birthday dinner plus chocolate cake.

Beauty, who was sitting propped up in between us had fallen asleep on the couch just like this……..


She looked so sweet with her head in her hands, totally determined to stay awake.


School Days


I spent some time this morning at Beauty’s preschool.

She works so hard and I am proud of the progress she is making.

As I watched her I noticed something… all her work, pictures and paintings are done in just one color—hot pink.

She is a girl who knows what she likes, that is for sure.


Little Ghouls

Every year my neighborhood starts Booing each-other.  It is like a Halloween version of secret Santa.

Neighbors make up little gift baskets/buckets of Halloween treats and leave them on each-others doorsteps.

You  leave a little Boo sign for them to post on their door so that others know they have been Booed.  And another note asking them to do it for two other neighbors in the next couple of days.

It is fun to see all the signs on your neighbors doors as you go trick or treating on Halloween. It also spreads good will as you are not sure which neighbor went out and did something for you.

My kids squealed with delight as they found our Boo basket this week.

It was full of goodies, but my favorites had to be the wax lips!  They were too funny.

I think my little ghouls looked great!

Fickle Sibling Love

This time it was lots of love.

First Day of Preschool

first_day_of_schoolmainToday was my little Beauty’s first day of preschool.

We got off this morning with just one small hitch….

She was up in her room crying and throwing a fit surrounded by a sea of clothing cast-offs.  She declared that she had “nothing to wear”.

She is only almost 4 people !!!! Her teenage years are surely going to kill me.

Camping

We took the kid’s on their first ever camping trip this past weekend. It was a lot of fun, great….. friends, food, and time shared.  We went with 6 other families from our hood.  There were 15 kids in all, they traveled like a pack from campsite to campsite giggling and causing trouble.

We had a fantastic time and we are still doing laundry trying to get the campfire smell out of all our belongs!

Recital

My little Beauty had her dance recital, she was great.  She loves to be on stage and wear costumes, you can just see how thrilled she is in her smile!

My Kids in the City

Okay so it wasn’t just my husband I asked to pose for portraits in the alley way!

Don’t you love the strand of hair in her face, even with a clip she always has a stray…It makes the portrait even more her!
