a little... "Fabulous" fun

nag... nag... nag

Why is it that no matter what I have to say... no matter for what good... I feel like this!!!!!!!

kindergarten!

Big day! Big kindergartener! Hard to believe we are already facing this day! My little chub-a-bub of a roly-poly baby is in elementary school! What!

She returned from school and all she said pretty much was... "that place rocks"! That is really what she said! I think she will go back tomorrow! :) Other than being a bit tired... it was a big hit of a day!

Happy day to all the great new kindergarteners! Yipee!

oh tooth fairy...

Look at me! I lost my first baby tooth!

finally! She wouldn't eat a thing! We begged her to try & wiggle it out before her big day at kindergarten. Then we promised her a honey bun (of all things)..... that pretty much did it. She twisted & wiggled & pulled on that tooth all afternoon until it came out... she was super excited!!! And yes... she remembered the yummy honey bun! Life's little joys!

summer afternoon

What does a "summer afternoon" mean or feel like to you....?

This was the question posed over at Studio Friday this week.

Summer afternoon...

It's usually a time when I try to stop what I'm doing and head outside with the kids. This is where you can hear alot of "mom... mom... mom... watch me... watch this"! I sit in one of the rockers and start decompressing from the day. Soak in the fun of the kids and try to let all my worries rock away! Might be a good time for a glass of wine too!

i want a muffin hat like that

the girls love their new hats...

for the love of school supplies!

I have always been a sucker for school supplies! I remember vividly shopping for school supplies as a kid! I am sure my moms recalls it very well too... she was great taking us to each & every store until we found JUST the right notebooks, folders and such! The thrill of getting home and unpacking it all... getting it all ready for the big day! Awwwwe! I loved it!

There are sooooo many great paper products out now. Have you taken a stroll down the school supply isle at target? It will make your head spin with glee!

To be a kid again... NO WAY !!!
I'll take the wrinkles & gray hair any day!

Happy Birthday!

Two very special people...

cheeeese!

Little stinker! What a face she can make!

She is full of expression and loaded with smiles!

I'm going to try and keep a smile on my face today... it does seems to make me feel better! Wonder why that is? I know it usually brings a smile to other people's faces... they say smiling is contagious!

Hmmm... I think whoever "they" are... "they" might be right!

one watch ... two watch... three

I love this picture!


I came across it again this morning while doing some photo back-up. It was taken Thanksgiving of 2004. We could not believe that my grandmama... my aunt... and I all had the exact same watch! Really! Now that is great! It was one of Oprah's favorite "picks" that year!
I like to think I have their taste! They are both brilliantly creative and the kind of people you hope to become! I love them to pieces and will always treasure this picture! What fun!
