The Closest Thing To a Brother

November 20, 2008 by Jennifer 4 Comments

My little L and I are blessed to have a special little boy in our presence each and every day. L just loves and adores our little buddy that happens to be one of my BFF’s son. We take care of him everyday while she is at work. He has blessed our life so many ways. I really truely believe he has helped L come out of her shell so to speak. She always wants to be playing with him and rubbing his head. She is so intrigued by his head for some reason. I have to always tell her to be careful, but she says mommy I am just rubbing it.

Each and every morning she is always asking if we get to go to the baby’s house today. Little man just smiles at her too every time she gets down at his level to play with him. I keep telling her its the closest to a brother she will ever get.

I’m so glad Cindy lets us be apart of his life. It truely means a lot to us. :). M runs practically off the bus everyday so she can come in and hold little man. Cindy you do know you have two caring and loving little babysitters that just adore your little man so much. I am so happy they get to grow up together 🙂 Of course, I love him bunches as well!!

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?

Potty Training Success

November 7, 2008 by Jennifer 5 Comments

I believe it is safe to say, potty training is complete. She has went three straight days with no diapers and goes straight to they potty without us even telling her.

It is sort of bitter sweet though. How did my baby girl get so big? I miss those baby thighs! I am very happy about not buying anymore diapers, but that was the only baby part I was hanging on to. I know I’m so silly… but it is very hard to move on from the baby stage. I just want to freeze time sometimes. L said this morning to me… Mommy I am a big girl now. I was trying to be so upbeat and say yes you are, but I was having to hold the tears back to ;).

So What If She Likes Peanuts

November 6, 2008 by Jennifer 2 Comments

It may seem like I am boasting, when I say L at 4 years old has never had a soft drink in her life and does not want one either. She would rather have water, milk or juice. Mostly water and milk. I am just a proud mom that she would rather have those drinks that soft drinks. It is also her own will that she does not like soft drinks. She just has no desire for them.

Also, another thing she will choose peanuts or peanut butter over candy or chocolate. We were at the grocery store today, and the cashier just thought it was so weird because she chose peanuts in the checkout line instead of candy.

Being healthy really plays a lot on my minds, because when I was growing up we did not eat the healthiest things. We just ate whatever we could get our hands on to get by and unfortunately it was junk a lot. So by the time I was in 8th grade, I turned to starving myself to get off the weight of me. I got down to a very dark time of just skin and bones. I totally do not want that for my girls. I know self image means a lot to girls, so I want to raise my girls on more healthier options.

I am losing weight the healthy way this time, and not going to starve myself. Even though it has entered my mind to do that, I want to prove a good example to my girls. So water and peanuts it is for this diet HAHAHAHA… at least that is what L says ;).

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.
