Funny things the girls said today...

Ashley told me tonight at dinner: "I am ready for ballet, but mommy Dinosaurs don't like ballet." I responded with "you don't have to be a dinosaur all the time." Ashley thinks she is a T-Rex most days.
Emily then told me "I like Rock Star things and beautiful things." Ashley followed that up with "I like rock stars." Ohh great a look into my future, broke musicians oh Joy, oh Joy.
I have been in a bad mood as of late so little talks like these make my day better until the girls start fighting over something else like a wand. This wand we had two of Emily broke Ashley awhile back and tonight Emily broke hers too!!! Fun days girls went to bed early tonight. They were extra cranky from being up late at the fair the night before.
Tomorrow Emily has testing at school. Tomorrow is the first day of school for most kids. I am annoyed that they easy the kindergartners into school but relieved at the same time. 1...2...3...Here goes nothing.

Skip a day 99, 100.

Do you remember saying that as a kid?? Skip a few 99, 100. Any way I feel like skipping a few days. Monday after the pool was hard and Tuesday started out hard. The kids are there usual selves I am having a hard time. I don't know why? Well I am HOT and cranky, I guess and looking for a change. Ready to get on with the year maybe? Looking forward to the FALL, soccer ( I think I love it more then the kids), school, ballet (not so hot on but something for the girls to do). And girl scouts I am having mixed feelings about I loved it as a kid but it might be too much for us right now, but I am holding on to the faith that it will be fun the troop leader I think will be amazing!!! That is right Mindy I don't know you well but I think you will be AMAZING!! So I am skipping the last few bad days in my mind all though we have had fun. We went to the mall yesterday morning, that was FUN well kind of. I love shopping for the girls just don't always like having them with me while shopping but we made the best of it. I remember being in Payless thinking I feel better right now!! That is good, right? Well the girls took a nap on the way home another YES!!! So I got to rest too I did not sleep well the night before and we were going to the FAIR that night!!! Wooo Hooo the fair!! Ohhh wait I don't really like the fair... but I know Emily does and now I know Ashley does too. I like to eat at the fair it is really hot and expensive, I did not get my funnel cake because it was too HOT. I did get some ribbon cut fries that Michael was like these are like CHIPS!?
Anyway I got mad before we even got there because I was going to have to be "nice" to some people... UGH! So I am going to make that take the blame of why I for got my camera double Ugh!!! But the girls had lots of fun and got to ride lots of rides!
The girls saw Isabella and Irelynn and rode some rides with them. (hmmm on the ugh?)
Anyway picture it the girls were hot and sweaty, with a bit of sticky. Chloe sat in her double stroller most of the night. We got the girls cotton candy so add some pinkish red and blue color to them, and that is what our night looked like. On a side note I showered twice that day...it has been that HOT. So I guess skip a few 99, 100 could go towards the temperature out side too. HA!!!

So a quick note about the pictures... a nod towards wardrobe. Emily is wearing a dress by Nicole Vinson, Purple Finch. I picked Ashleys dress but notice two different shoes both for the right foot and a princess hat. Ahsley is in a huge hat phase. Chloe is wearing a green shirt with pink shorts because that is what I had handy after her poop blow out this morning. On aside not she is naked NOW!

Last week of my old life....

So today we went to a place called the FUN POOL. These people in Franklin feel it is their minstry to let people come to their house and swim. They have this great pool with a slide and waterfall. Not to mention many other toys they let you play with. It was really nice Blake almost drown at the begining getting off the slide and Ella too, with me. She held on so tight to my legs she went under water with my legs. And in true fashion Ashley almost drown too. Emily saved her life!!! It was a lot of fun, maybe with God watching over this house no one will drown or lets pray. Anyway it was lots of fun and most inportant the water was cool. Chloe got special time with Celina the girl down the street who is ready to adopt Chloe at any momment.

Anyway I title this last week of my old life, Thursday school starts here in Spring Hill and Emily will be starting too well kind of she has some testing on Thursday and then does not go back for a week. But our life is going to change my mom made plane resorvations and we had to do it around bus schedules...yes Emily is going to take the bus!! I hope she does not fall asleep on the bus she is like her mom and call always fall asleep in the car. Emily was pouting today after the Fun pool in her room and it was just Ashley, Chloe and I, and I thought this is how things will be 5 days a week soon and its kind of scary. I am feeling a little sad today I will miss my Buba even though she is the cause of a lot of fights with the girls. She is such a big helper, too.

Also today it started to rain and in the summer it usually thunders when it rains today it started to rain first so I draged Emily out from infront of the TV and we played in the RAIN!! Emily was not so HOT on it and went inside quick to hit play on her show. (don't get me started on how I don't like that she is figuring out how to use the remote. she is growing up too fast and getting so smart.) But again there I was with Chloe and Ashley only playing in the rain. Thinking again this is how it is going to be most days. Maybe just one tear!!!
(again this thing is frozen I have pictures to post and forgive me no spell check available.)

Ashley ...Soccer Monster.

Today we had soccer "testing" or something for Emily ages 4-5. Ashley has been signed up for soccer but was not asked to "test" today. Almost three year olds testing I guess would be a joke!! But Ashley knew that Emily had to test today. So Ashley got up this morning put her soccer shorts on and grabbed her new Orange soccer ball. She said she was ready. We kept telling her it was not her turn today but she would not hear it. So I let her go to practice ready to play with her ball. They never let her play and to make matters worst there was an Ashley there so everytime they called her name Ashley would get excited. To pause for a moment on Ashley she really is growing up, she speaks so well now and is really turning into a little girl. I had to go to bat with the YMCA about her being able to play since she is not quite three. This is going to be Ashley's life story since I took the Caster Oil 4 days later then I should have. That is right she is born 4 days after the cut off date. In her defense she should have been born like 10 -15 days after the cut off date. I took Caster Oil the day before my moms birthday Oct. 4 on purpose they could share the same birthday. It worked but if I would have known I would have done it sooner.

Now Ashley looks so small to us. Emily was really tall and had much bigger feet. Ashley has short legs and little feet but she has really grown this past year. She has moved up a size in shorts and pants too!!! Ashley does NOT eat much at ALL. But she still grows she loves milk and peanut butter sandwiches. Ashley is crazy and wild. Emily and her fight all the time. But then Ashley is hugging her telling Emily best friends forever!! I love you Ashley and you look just like your mama!!

Chloe, just a pause on her.



My sweet baby, girl I have to talk about her for a second to record her milestones and personality at almost 14 months!!! OMG where has time gone! Anyway Chloe is the baby and knows it. Michael and I have deiced no more kids at this point in our lives we want to enjoy the three beautiful girls GOD gave us. Chloe has an opinion about everything she grunts a lot, smiles, screams, laughs and bites. I need to record her and post it. She has that scream that could break ear drums the other girls don't have that. She is the kid that screams in a restaurant. She is pretty easy going as long as you are holding her if she does not like something or someone you know. The picture I posted is her eating her dinner. If she does not like a piece of food she places it in the left side of her tray. It is so funny. She now throws fits if you tell her no and then will bite Michael or me. She did this in church this past Sunday in the class we were helping in. The people were shocked at her behavior. Well Chloe is sweet and is loved by so many her great blue eyes light brown hair almost brown, and tan skin. She is a sweet baby that is HUGE!!! She is scared of many things horses up close, slides, Mr. Jim, and being hung up side down. (ohh Uncle Joe too.) See previous post video about slide.

Another Bath outside!!! Plus Chloe.






So on this night after dinner Chloe was awake so we all went out and played in the water. It is so HOT here right now that even the hose water is warm. Going to the pool is gross it is like "human soup." No joke the water at the pool has to be like 85-90 degrees. So we hide inside all day or do play dates in doors and play in the water in the evening if it is not too hot.
