The Snow Coat That Keeps On Going

November 18, 2008 by Jennifer 10 Comments

… And Going And Going….

I just realized something tonight when I was looking through the latest snow pictures I took. M has had the same snow coat since early 2005 and here it is almost 2009. Can you believe this coat has lasted through 4 winters now. I did buy the coat super big at JCPenney back in late 2004 for Christmas for her. She was only 2 years old at the time. Take a walk down memory lane with me.

2 Years Old

3 Years Old

4 Years Old

5 Years Old

You can tell it is getting smaller and it is about time to get her another coat. But boy did I ever get my money out of this coat. Gosh why does she have to grow up so fast!

New Milestone For My Girls – High School Musical 3

November 9, 2008 by Jennifer 9 Comments

M and L are almost 6 and 4. They had yet to step foot into a movie theater until yesterday. I have been thinking for the last two weeks, I wanted to surprise the girls with a day out with mom.

I did just that. I surprised them with High School Musical 3 tickets.

I didn’t realize the movie was 2 hours long. I was thinking UH OH, what have I got myself into ;). Do you know they did not move the whole two hours. They were loving High School Musical. So I believe I picked a great movie for their first experience to the movie theater.

I am happy to announce, I did not eat one piece of popcorn either ;).

I think I was excited as the girls to go see this movie. The last movie I seen in a theater was back in 1997 when Titanic came out.

In my opinion, this is the best movie of the series in High School Musical. It brought back a lot of memories of my High School Days. Makes me feel old now haha. There were times, I just wanted to get up and dance a jig and clap my hands. I was just getting into the movie so much. My girls were of course dancing in their seats.

I will definitely give this a movie a 10 out of 10. I can’t wait to get it on DVD so I can sit and watch it with my girls again. Is it really ok that I just admitted that ;).

So have you took your child to see HSM 3. What did you think?

Its Let Your Kid Dress Themselves Day

This week at M’s school they are having Spirit week. I always loved this as a child. Well today was Tacky Day AKA (let your kid dress themselves day).

M picked out her outfit and I just started laughing. I told her it had to be crazy and I think she did a pretty darn good job of it… don’t ya think?

I just love her… She melts my heart over and over.

Also while I have your attention… M was sent a special Koala bear last week from Build a Bear. She just loved it from the minute she got it out of the box that evening. I didn’t realize they have bears now for as low as 10.00. How cool is that? Also once you make your bear, you can go online and have a virtual pet at Build a Bearville. I was really impressed with the quality and as you can see below… it fit perfect in M’s lap so she could snuggle with and have an after school nap.

We would like to share with you and let your kid have their own very special bear. I have two 10.00 gift cards I would love to give to two lucky parents to give to their children. Leave a message below and I will draw two random entries on Friday October 31, 2008. Good Luck!

Best Soccer Goalie

October 21, 2008 by Jennifer 4 Comments

Our first year of Soccer has came to an end. She had such a fun time and was sad the games were over. She has already asked: “How many days till I play again”.

The whole team had a fun end of year party and they all got trophies with individual awards. Madisyn received the Best Goalie of the year award. I couldn’t have been more proud of her.

I see two things in these pictures…

1) Such a proud little girl 🙂

2) This will be the last picture that we take with shorts for year 2008

I believe the warm season has ended as they are calling for our first snow next Tuesday. 🙂

My Sleeping Angels

October 12, 2008 by Jennifer 5 Comments

When I saw the contest 5 Minutes for Mom was having, I knew it wouldn’t be hard for me to post a picture. I wanted to post a picture of my two girls. Ever since I had my youngest daughter Lyndsee…. we have all co-slept together and my oldest Madisyn has always been right there to snuggle with her little sis. Even in the hospital.. all three of us shared the hospital bed when Lyndsee (my youngest) was born. Any give night, you can find them snuggled up like this:

They will NOT go to sleep unless they are beside each other and touching. They hug each other every night and say love you to each other. It melts my heart and I will never pull them apart from each other until they are the ones that say they want to. This is all they know of sleeping arrangements and it just puts the biggest smile on my face.
