Roller Blades.

Lord help us Nana bought roller blades for the girls. Ashley and Chloe wear the same size. Can't wait for them to learn then Michael and I will get some too.

Sunday

So today Michael and I with some friends went paint balling another thing to add, since I turned 30. It was a lot of fun, we will have to try it again. Closer to home.

Also I switched Killer to senior food. It is for dogs over 7. Killer is 8 now. Maybe this will help with his weight loss. Although I think he is doing really well. I will have to weigh him soon.

Killer up date

Killer walked all the way to school and back today. Walked his booty off!! I let him ride only for about 10 mins. Michael gave him a hair cut yesterday also. So killer is looking thinner.

Killer likes to eat crayons... Do you think crayons have calories? I try to keep them up but with three girls it's hard. Are they empty calories?? I hope he is loosing some weight. He also chased the lawn mower a lot tonight, and chased after the hose.

Red Neck Pool

So it is hot!!! Like in the 80's so the last two days the kids have been spending lots of time playing in the water. On a sheet of plastic it holds water. The girls have really enjoyed it. Did I mention that today is the last day of winter?? It was even cool enough to night while the kids played I mowed the lawn again.

My hand

Has anyone had this happen? Look at my hand. It is discolored it is kind of strange. It has been like this for over three weeks. I have not brushed it, it is not getting worse. Am I fading?? Am I loosing my brown? Haha. Are these my old people spots? Now that I am 30!

RoRo and CoCo.

So I watched Romy for Katie yesterday and Chloe now loves Romy. Chloe said take a picture of me and Romy. She even wants Romy to come to her birthday party. Romy will be 2 next month.

Update on Killers diet. Killer I really think weights 14lbs, not 13. But I do think he has lost .5 lbs. He only gets a half a cup of food a day. It has been rough he is totally hungry for table food. He took a piece quesadilla from Romy yesterday. He is always hopping someone will drop some food. The girls have been good about his diet. We are trying to walk him more. He is almost out of food next time I think I will buy reduced fat or something also. He loves to chase the lawn mower it gets his heart rate going!!

Warm

So yesterday Emily tells me that the ground hog saw his shadow and we were suppose to have 6 more weeks of winter. I told her the ground hog must have been mistaken. Because it has been warm, in fact hot here. I am loving it. It has been in the 80's all week. Yesterday it rained a bit in the afternoon and today it is raining but it is STILL warm. Ashley is mad the pool is not open. She says she is going to have to be with out a shirt soon if it keeps up this way. She is also very ready to go canoing. Canoing would be fun but I think the water would be to frigid still.
Here are two pictures of my favorite bush, Forsythia. And my flowers we planted in the fall and have not died all winter because it never stayed that cold this winter.

It's going to be 80's to high 70's for the next 10 days. I love it but I am a bit worried that summer will be super HOT!!!

Chloe and Romy

I am watching my friends daughter Romy today. Chloe and Rimy have not always gotten along. But they are doing great today!! I bribed Chloe with a slushy. But I think Chloe is really enjoying having a friend to play with. We played out side, jumped, singed and painted nails. Romy is taking a nap now. Lunch after nap and maybe a walk.

GASH!

So Chloe has had a rough week. Last, Saturday night she fell down the stairson her back head first the whole way we do believe or close enough to the top. The kid just does not pay attention to what she is doing.

Sunday night she fell out of bed while she slept and hit her chin, next to her eye and scraped her neck.

So we were off to arough start. She has a big goose egg on top of her head from falling the whole way down. I did not catch her tell the end. We thought she may have broken her arm with the way she fell but she poped right back up. She had her back pack all twisted around her arm and fell down with her arm under her.

She had a scrape on her neck, a scab under her chin, and a bruse next her eye. Plus the goose egg.

So Thursday after school we took Emily to a make up gymnastics class in the pooring rain. Chloe feel down and cracked her head. At about 5pm. She was sitting on the bleachers the bottom foot areaon her knees coloring on my phone. She sat up on her knees and rocked back and fell back and smacked her head twice. Once on a metal L bracket and once on a concreate floor. It was awful. There was blood on the fllor which I second guest it being hers? As I picked her up all of these moms come rushing to me saying she is bleeding bad and covered in blood. Luckly a former soccer team mate of Emily's was there and his mom is a peditrician. She helped stop the bleeding applied pressure. Chloe was screaming and crying. I was just holding her trying to comfort her. As I tried to call Michael and Cindy. With no luck of getting either one.

I was told I was going to half to take her to Vanderbilt ER. I Had a friend their who was willing to drop her kids at home and come back and get us to drive to Nashville. Luckly Heather got bleeding to stop and we did not have to go. The gash is about a 1/2" wide. But the bleeding stoped and we decied it best not to go unless the bleeding started again. Chloe has not been able to wash her hair to let the scab harden under her hair. Tonight we will wash it. Plus the trama of them shaving a part of Chloe's head would have sent Chloe over the edge. I am so thankful that Heather the Peditrician was there and that Lisa was there to help also. Chloe's gymanstic coach was their and she helped clam Chloe down as well. But she said she had to walk away because she was about to cry because Chloe was hurt. I did not cry I was a bit in shock I think. They all kept telling me I handled it well. Well after Ashley busting out her tooth, cutting her eye brow open and all the falls and scrapes. I am handling things better. :) Another mom I have never met or seen before was even crying.
Emily was crying too. Ashley thought it was neat and was showing her friend Lawson her sister covered in blood. Chloe's last purple dress was ruined in blood. I tried everything to get it clean. Hydrogen proxide, soap and soaking it for 25 hours.

Chloe was fine by the next day. She does not even complain of her head hurting. So the Above picture is how Michael would now like Chloe to walk around every day. To protect her head. Even right now she is walking around with her barbie Helmet on. :)

Ashley's hair cut

Ashley has been asking for weeks to get her hair cut just her and mommy. She got it done today. It was on a whim, and we only had about an inch and half cut off. She wanted more but will see.

On another note we went to the DMV or department of safety as they call it here and got our gun permits... Paid for we need to do finger prints tomorrow. And soon will be card carrying members of the NRA. Not really but my dad thinks so.

Since I turned 30

Since I turned 30 I have gotten a speeding ticket. I went to court today to get traffic school. Ugh, here is a tip when you have to go to court for a speeding ticket. Take your kid. You get to go first I spent an hour there this morning. I should have brought Chloe. P.s. I was only going 29 in a 20 zone. I am not that bad.

Michael and I bought a gun. I never thought I would own a gun. We own a safe too. :)

Since I turned 30 I have gained about 5 lbs that I think might never go away. Things just jiggle a bit more then they use too.

That is it for now.

Oh since I turned 30 I make my own laundry soap. I know so granola of me!!

Killer day 3

So Killer asked me to keep him a weight loss journal. I know I have lost my mind. But I think it might be fun to keep track of his weight loss.

-Sunday March 4th I (Killer) got a bath from dad and a blow dry from mom. Mom threw in the towel and now admits that I am fat not just fluffy. Mom and dad were joking that I looked like a bear with a small head and a big body. Dad gave me a bad face cut on Friday night.

Mom has cut me back on food to one half scoop twice a day. Not unlimited food... No more never ending food bowl.

-Monday first day on the diet all day. I got forced out on a walk with a leash. Mom says Chloe and I need to build up our endurance for walking. I prefer to ride in the stroller with Chloe. For the record Chloe does not go in the stroller either. High light I did get to go to the bus stop where all the kids pet me and love me.

-Tuesday day two of the diet. Chloe and Ashley had hard boiled eggs for breakfast and I did not get any yoke. That was heart breaking, I always get the yoke.
I did get to go on a ride in the car to the bank, mom got lunch, and to the store. Last stop grandma's. Got some exercises there. Walked to the horses, chased the bunny, and the duck. Cousin dog Razzle is there all she does is bark at me. Got to pick Ashley up from school! Score. That is my new favorite place. And came home walked to the bus stop to pick up Emily. Girls like to fight over me.

So that is it for Killers journal for now. I weighed him today. He is 13lbs lets see how much weight he can loose in the next couple of months.

Chloe and Killer are building some endurance together.

Fancy Nancy

So last week was silly/fun/crazy week at school. It being Dr. Seuss birthday and all. Monday they dressed in school spirit. Tuesday they did something at school but no dressing up. Wednesday was crazy day. I think the older they get the crazier they dress. Really Emily wanted to wear everything back wards. Thursday was P.j. day best day ever!! Who does not want to wear jammies all day?? Friday was dress like a character in a book day. Emily picked Fancy Nancy because I let her wear the sequin dress grandma got her a years ago. Not many places to wear that dress. We ragged her hair kind of to get some wavy curl since Emily has non the night before. And wel-lah. We had Fancy Nancy in the morning. Emily picked Fancy Nancy Poison Ivy expert. Hence the magnifine glass and drew some pink spots on her. I thought she looked pretty good.

We had super bad weather that day and kids got out of school early that day. So it ended up being a half day.

Enjoying this Time

I really feel like I am at a point with the girls that I enjoy more time with them then not.
Emily is 6 years old almost 7. She is getting so big and grown. She does so many things for herself and her sisters now. She still can be a pain but I am really enjoying this age.

Ashley is 4 and is so funny. She still gets in to lots of trouble but I think that is part of her fun flare. She too is very independent. She does not have that let me help all the time big sister gene like Emily but she can take care of her self.

Chloe is my baby and so she is baby-ed a lot. But she is getting to the point where I don't need to constantly do things for her.

Now let me say I am a very hands on mom. Because I sound like I don't want to do anything for them. But I do, I do lots for them. I just like them to do things for them selves. I want them to be independent. They brush their teeth, they can dress them selves. Chloe did it all by herself this morning. They can put on their own shoes. Emily knows how to tie!! That is huge. I only have to wipe Chloe's butt for poop now. Chloe can buckle her seat so can all the other girls. I just have to un-buckle Chloe and that is a plus.

The girls are really growing up. I loved my babies but I had six years of babies and I am ready for the next phase. I know Michael is too.

We took a hike yesterday to try and find a fishing hole. It was too cold and we did not find one but we had fun and no one complained about walking. Now Chloe was held for the most part but her legs are still short it is hard for her to walk far. Plus I get a good work out in too.

I really am proud of the girls they are growing into. Now I am not saying we are all sunshine and roses. Going out to eat is still stressful at times. We have lots of jealousy, and crying can happen at any moment. But when it's good it's good.

And I am thankful for that.

Photo Shoot

So this is what we did before all the storming hit yesterday. With bunnies for a Friends clothing line. See Hazel working her Diva status. Chloe was not so Diva she did a couple of pictures but I did not get those Jenny did. The bunnies did really well. So did the kids. It was a fun time.

Ashley's first all girl party

So the draw back to only having one car. Ashley was invited to a party in Cool Springs and so we all had to go. Well I guess Michael could have stayed home with the others but Emily was already jealous. The funny part Ashley gave them a list of places they could NOT go with out her. It was cute. Ashley really had fun at the party and had lots of wardrobe changes. They other dark haired girl in the picture, Mia is the birthday girl. The blond in Miley. Both of these girls are in Ashley's class.
Michael took the other two to Chuck E. Cheese. Ashley was not pleased it was on her do not go list. But Ashley had lots of fun at her party and was okay.

Now with that being said about the one car thing... I do like it in the fact we are always together. We don't split up often and take kids other places by ours selves.
