Hello again! I have decided to come back to the blogging world; however, if you have abandonment issues then you might not want to be a follower of my blog because there is not telling how long I will be doing this.
Here is a little recap of what has been going on since the last time I blogged.
The princess:
She is a big three year old now that loves to play dress up, wear lip gloss, and play with anything princess. She is a girly girl to the core and is a different Disney princess everyday, I believe today she is Rapunzel. She keeps telling me to watch out for her long hair so I don't step on it, so I get to spend the day trying not to step on imaginary hair. Oh the things we moms do.
She got press on nails for Christmas that had the Disney princesses on them. She loved them and would go around the house staring at her hands saying, "I am so beautiful," over and over. They didn't stay on very long though and now I keep finding little fingernails all over the house. Thanks grandma.
The toothless wonder:
He is 6 now and in Kindergarten. He loves school (favorite subjects are snack and recess) and is still into tornadoes, hurricanes, trains, and race cars. His most recent interest is dinosaurs. He had a dinosaur themed birthday party and I got the idea to bury little dinosaur skeletons in the sandbox so the kids could pretend to be little paleontologists. I was wondering aloud where I would find these little dinosaur skeletons and the little toothless wonder says to me, "mom, the skeletons are at the end of the cretaceous period." I am so not smart enough to be this kids mom.
He just lost his top three teeth, one of them is still MIA. We had put the tooth in his tooth fairy pillow that his grandma had made. That night after he went to sleep I went in to take the tooth out but it was already gone. The next morning I told Connor that the tooth in his pillow was missing, we both just looked at each other and for about a second I think we both believed in the tooth fairy. But if this fairy was real she took the tooth and didn't leave any money and who wants to believe in a tooth fairy like that. He still got money, but the tooth still remains to be seen.
The hard working man:
Oh wait, wrong picture. I don't know how that keeps happening.
Here he is, the hard working man. He really is! He is very cute I must say. I love this guy. He makes my heart happy!
Oh yes, there has been one more addition to our family. We have had her since May and I really think she will be a keeper. Unlike the dogs, and the fish. Oh, I didn't tell you about the fish? After the dogs and before the cat we got some goldfish. They lasted 3 days. I knew when Connor told me all the fish were sleeping that something was not right. I didn't think fish napped and if they do its not upside down at the top of the bowl. It must have been the chlorine in our water that did them in. I didn't realize that those gross scaly fish that swim in bacteria infected ponds were so particular about their water.
This our Chloe kitty. She has been a great low maintenance addition to our family. Emphasis on the low maintenance part. Connor told me would like another sibling, I told him Chloe was his second sister and that she would be the only other sibling he would ever get. He was okay with that and now tells everyone the cat is his sister. She is the furry child of the family.
And me, I have just been keeping things running around here doing laundry, looking for lost teeth, and picking fake fingernails out of the carpet. I learned how to crochet about a year ago and have been doing that a lot lately. I really enjoy it. I just bought a little folding basket thing to to keep all my stuff organized and was so excited to use it that I almost skipped out of the store. When I got home and showed my husband he told me how his grandmother had the same thing. Excitement gone. I feel like I just aged 50 years. Oh well, call me an old lady if you want...I still love to crochet.
That's it in a nutshell. Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully I will still be here in a week.
