This summer sucked!

I say that atleast once a day.

This summer sucked so bad I thought I'd blog about just how much it sucked.

But after sorting through a slew of pictures.

I decided that maybe, just maybe, I was wrong.

Because I have absolutely no proof what so ever of a sucky summer.

 

Happy September, Everyone!!! (:

When I grow up

When I was in kindergarden my teacher let us all take turns standing up and telling the rest of the class what we were going to be when we grew up.  I waited patiently as I heard children around me declare "nurse", "mommy", "fireman", and "army man".  I was super excited when it was my turn.  I stood tall and proud and announced that I would grow up to be a strawberry ice cream cone!
Well, long story short, Mrs. Henson quickly shot me down and said that "growing up to be food wasn't possible".  I guess she was sort of right.  But what about cannibals?  They eat humans!  Aligators and other wild animals eat humans!  Anyway, she hurt my feelings and embarassed me and everytime I think about strawberry ice cream cones, I think of her.  I'm not mad and my feelings aren't hurt anymore.  But they do make me think of her.

We were riding in the car the other day and Diamond and I had a little conversation that went something like this:
Ld: "Mommy, did you know that when you grow up, you can be anything you want?"
Me:  "Yes, Diamond.  What are you going to be?"
Ld:  "A unicorn!"
Me:  "A unicorn?"
Ld:  "Yes!  A pink unicorn with rainbows all over me!  And I'm going to have a red horn!"
....
Guess what?  I've always wanted a unicorn!  And when Diamond grows up she's going to college to be a unicorn!  Yippe! ;)

Take that Mrs.  Henson! =P

ROO

I absolutely cannot believe that this girl is an entire DECADE old!

I can't believe you're ten!  Not just one whole hand but two!  Girl, you're out of fingers!  WOW! I love you, baby girl!  I pray that you are always as sweet, smart, beautiful and dedicated to the Lord's work as you are now!  Happy First Decade, Devaroo!

After a seven month long break from my blog, I've decided to pick it back up. Who knows how long I'll do it for, maybe another two years and maybe only two months.  I'll do it as long as I'm happy with it.  Our life is awesome and fun(ny) and rather interesting, to me.  So, we'll see...Knowing me, who knows?!

Happy Today, Tomorrow, and the past seven months Everyone!

Eavesdropping (=

Ld:  "Hey, Dominick, do you wanna come play in my room?"
Md:  "Yeah, sure!"
Ld:  "Dominick, off my bed!  You know you're not allowed!"
Md:  "Oh, yeah."
Ld:  "Dominick,  don't touch that!"  ... 
Ld:  "Heeeeyy, you're messing that up!"  ....
Ld:  "Dominick PLEASE leave that alone?!"
Ld:  "Um, Dominick, maybe you should just go back to your room and play by yourself."

Girls just wanna have fun!

T'was just the girls and myself a couple of days ago.  I had to pick Big D up a little early from school, she had another doctors appointment.  She just finished ten days of antibiotics only to go to the doctor and discover that it had absolutely no results.  She has a raging bladder infection.  Doctor F seems to think that she has an antibiotic resistant bug.  And if that were the case, that my dears would totally suck!  This little girl hardly ever gets sick but the past couple of months have been the complete and total opposite!  It seems as if she is constantly getting some sort of sickness that doctors can't figure out.  It's bizarre!

She has been dying to go to this new little bakery in town.  So off we went, just us girls!  After all, Girls just wanna have fun!  Right?!

The adorable little bakery certainly lived up to it's name.  Their cupcakes were absolutely "Delish"!

The girls hardly touched their cupcakes while we were there.  They were too entertained by the little table and all of it's little toys and puppets.  Big D certainly knows how to make ld laugh!  She had her rolling!

I'm glad that we got to spend good ole' quality time together.  I just wish the circumstances were different.

Pray for my little darling, please!  That is all.

Happy Saturday, Everyone!

Moving on

 Soccer season ended last weekend.  I'm kind of sad, but it was starting to get waay to cold to be sitting on the sidelines at nine in the morning!  Although, I'm sure I would totally be up for some more sitting on the sidelines, if it were offered!.

 Big D and Middle D's team was undefeated {with the exception of the one game they lost...but only by one point}.  Little d's team doesn't really keep score yet so, they were "undefeated", too!

Soccer is definitely  my favorite sport to watch {so far}.  It excites the kiddo's and helps them deal and cope with their competitive urges.  It has taught Big D and Middle D to work together and it has also helped them respect one another.  Good stuff, I tell you.  Big D moves up to a brand new field next season, leaving her brother behind.  I'm sad about that...so is she.

Little d feels and acts more like a big girl, and she has also started warming up to princesses and pink stuff.  I'm pretty sure it has to do with her friend R who was recently in a pageant, that little d got to watch.  Having a real life princess that plays soccer as her friend is kind of a big deal!

Soccer with three kids is pretty exhausting, but has so many more perks to it.  I absolutely love being a Soccer Mom!

Oh, and Big D will be trying out basketball for the first time in the next couple of weeks.  She is a bit nervous.  I am a bit EXCITED! =D

Happy Monday, Everyone!
