Better Late Than Never

School starts tomorrow. The girl and boy spent a good chunk of the afternoon laying out clothes for the first three days of school. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon trying to explain that even though it may be cool, you can't wear red spikes to school.

We also had this conversation . . .

Boy: "My teacher is going to LOVE me."
Me: "Really? Is it because you're going to be so well behaved?"
Boy: "Uh . . . NO. It because I'm sooo cool."

If nothing else, I've managed to instill a healthy dose of confidence in him.

I'm Good.

Even though I'm lacking motivation today I managed to convince the boy to unload the dishwasher. I think that makes today a success.

Happy Birthday

This is one of my favorite pictures of the boy. It was taken about a week after he turned three. Today he turns 7. In honor of this occasion I am going to tell you 7 of my very favorite things about him.

1. The kid's got style.

2. He is always up for a snuggle.

3. You're most likely to find him in the non-fiction section of the library.

4. He wanted a cardigan for his birthday.

5. He has no idea he is half the size of the other kids his age.

6. He won't field third base because because once he saw a bug there.

7. He is on a first name basis with the mailman.

Happy birthday buddy.

Just in the Nick of Time

Just when I was thinking the summer hadn't been long enough the boy handcuffed the girl to a folding table and lost the key.

So yeah . . . school starts pretty soon and I'm pretty okay with that.

Baby Bum

When I was taking pictures of Madison the other day Davis got jealous and insisted I take this picture of his bum. If you've got it, flaunt it. Right?


Also, as a point of interest my friend is doing a giveaway on her blog. She just started up a new business making very cute sweaters and hair accessories. You should all check it out and enter the giveaway. www.sweetersweater.blogspot.com

Because Its Been a While

I haven't had a poll in a while so when Madison couldn't decide what to wear for her first day of school, I knew it was time.

So with out further ado here is my new poll (vote on the side bar).

Which outfit do you think Madison should wear on her first day of school?

I believe that you can click on the picture to see them a little bigger.

*Here is a basic run down of the outfits:

Outfit A:
This outfit combines her beloved skull shirt, a cute white 80s style mini skirt, with over the knee black and pink socks and white skater sneakers.

Outfit B:
In this outfit she paired a classic black tee with a fun green tutu skirt, striped knee highs and the white skater sneakers.

Outfit C:
This outfit features a girly baseball tee, the tutu skirt, worn butterfly jeans, and her super fun flower Docs.

Outfit D:
Again we see the classic black tee, but now it is paired with a more basic black and red plaid skirt. She still hasn't picked out shoes for this particular outfit.

*Much to the chagrin of my budding fashionista I'm not up on my fashion lingo. Please take that in to account as you read these descriptions.

The Beginning of The End

Someones (I don't want to point fingers, but it wasn't mine) Rock Star Energy Drink exploded in the mini fridge because it was too close the the freezer. I saw the frozen slushy mess this morning as I got myself a Dr. Pepper.

It's been one of those morning so instead of cleaning it right away I just shut the fridge door and walked off. When I returned later to clean up the mess I found Davis sitting in front of the fridge licking the last bit of Rock Star slush from his cute little fingers.

The rest of the day should be pretty interesting. I'm planning on taking the kids to the library this afternoon. You might want to steer clear of the entire downtown area.
