Annie
« Previous EntriesMoody Girls
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010It is obvious that Kimberly and Annie are asserting their personalities more and more. They are both very strong, opinoinated girls. Sometimes this takes the form of wanting to dress a particular way and sometimes it shows itself when they want to do whatever they please. Dressing with their own style, within reason is something [...]
Annie Lost her 3rd Tooth
Monday, August 30th, 2010Today when I picked up Annie and Kimberly from school Annie had a very cute tooth necklace around her neck. Inside was her tooth. She said that she twisted it during PE today and it fell out.
We’re Adjusting
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Paul and I are adjusting well to our time without the Girls. He is still lost without their constant direction but he is getting along. He likes to swim and hang out with just Mom. He hasn’t really gotten into playing by himself yet, but I know it will come. We have only been on [...]
I need them more
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010It has become very clear that I need my children more than they need me. Today as I dropped Annie and Kimberly off they rushed off onto the playground. I had to call them back to give me a hug and kiss. (*I had the camera with me and was tempted to pull it out [...]
First Day of School
Monday, August 16th, 2010First Day Sassy Outfits Madeline had her first day in Kindergarten. We celebrated the day with First Day cakes. It was a nice day. The kids all enjoyed their classes, except for the fact that Annie and Kimberly said recess was way to short.
‘Twas the night before school
Sunday, August 15th, 2010Today was the last day of summer for my kids. Tomorrow a new school year begins. Because of this we did some family traditions and started a new one. The kids really took their time in the bath tonight making sure they would be clean enough for school. We reviewed their morning checklist. They laid [...]
My Gymnasts
Monday, August 2nd, 2010It seems as though I am in need of this button. Since it is the end of summer and we needed to place the Girls in their next class the coaches did little evaluations on them. Madeline was evaluated and they found out that she is very talented in the area of gymnastics. Not only [...]
Alive and Well
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I know I haven’t been posting to the blog lately. It doesn’t have to do with anything in particular, but a lot of little things. Summer is a very busy time for me and we mainly swim, eat, sleep, repeat so there isn’t always so much to blog about. Swim lessons are going very well. [...]
Animal Kingdom
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Lately our backyard has become a place for desert animals to go. Not sure why since we had the yard and house sprayed recently which would diminish their food supply but still they keep coming. Several weeks back we had a medium sized snake under our grill. We moved some things around on the sideyard [...]
In Motion
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010I love to sit back and watch my children in motion. Each one is so unique and different. They all are getting exactly what they want out of a particular experience and yet not one is the same. There is Annie, often off on her own but playing right by everyone. She wants to be [...]
1st Day of Summer and a Chill
Monday, June 21st, 2010We got the group up and headed down to the beach. Despite the fact that it was the first day of summer, it was quite chilly down at the beach. Once there Bill set up our camp area and we started playing. Grammy brought a bag of toys and taught the kids how to play [...]
Beachy Keen
Sunday, June 20th, 2010This morning we woke up and had breakfast in the beach house. Grammy made waffles and I made eggs and bacon. We all ate our breakfast and then got ready to head down to the beach. With all our gear in hand we headed out. The beach was so nice and quiet when we arrived. [...]
Go time
Saturday, June 19th, 2010This morning I was woken up by the youngest at my bedside. He said, “Today I going to the beach Mom!” He really had no idea what the beach was but he is good at joining in when the girls are excited. The kids got themselves dressed, we got showered, and we headed out of [...]
Dinner Skills
Thursday, June 17th, 2010One of my goals for the Girls this summer was to give them more exposure to cooking. Last night Annie made dinner, mostly on her own. We had flautas (the premade type from Costco), grapes and refried beans with cheese. Certainly a meal very easy to prepare and a perfect one for Annie. She opened [...]
Last day of school 2010
Thursday, May 27th, 2010Today is Annie and Kimberly’s last day of Kindergarten. They will officially be graders and in twelve short years will be graduating. I know those twelve years are going to fly by just as this one has. Just look at these timid babies as they began their journey. and look at them now! There is [...]
Fund Raising
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010I finished the dishwasher tablet container a couple of weeks ago. The girls asked if they could have the container for crafts. Bill and I thought it would be a great place for them to collect bug in. (Annie and Paul have a serious obsession with collecting bugs.) The Girls had other ideas. Here is [...]
Daisy Wrap Up
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Saturday we had the final Daisy Girl Scout meeting. The Girls had chosen to go to Build a Bear for their reward for working hard throughout the year. We met at the mall and the girls had an enjoyable time creating a special stuffed animal. After the bears we went to the co-leaders home to [...]
Little things
Friday, May 14th, 2010Sometimes it is just the little things that make you happy. Here are Annie and Kimberly in their brand new petit skirts I bought them at Costco eating jello cups with whipped cream on them. They loved the skirts and the treat!
The one illness . . .
Thursday, May 13th, 2010I never mind too much when the kids have fevers or when they are hacking up a lung. Caring for them when they have those issues is not easy nor enjoyable but it is so much better than stomach flu. Right now Mimi and Annie are sick with stomach flu. It is no fun. I [...]
Impressive
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Annie recently figured out that her tongue can touch the bottom of her chin with her tongue. Not sure if I should be proud or concerned.
