Tatums first day of pre-school

 
 
 
 

Tatums first day of school was good. Good for me and good for her.
She loved it. Her teacher asked if Tatum was the "lip gloss queen's" little sister.
I said yes, only this one loves mascara too!
I guess Mia used to take a variety of lip gloss to pre-school with her, and Mrs.Cathy remembered. How cute is that?


I am loving this schedule... I have room to BREATHE!!!

Happy Birthday Mia!

 
Mia is seven! I can't believe how fast time flies. I swear it was just yesterday she was a baby.
We had a doll tea party to celebrate. Fourteen little girls, fourteen adorable dolls, and tons of fun!
I love this age. I don't want my little girls to grow up.
Mia had a great time. It was an awesome day.

Here are the top 10 reasons why I love Mia...
10- Her beautiful smile. Crazy teeth coming in and all.
9- Her strength. She is tough as nails, just ask the doctor that burned her warts off.
8- Her style. This girl can put an outfit together like no other.
7- Her giggle. It's infectious.
6- Her eagerness to learn.
5- She is a wonderful sister, friend and daughter.
4- She is not a follower. She knows what she likes and is not affraid to be different.
3- She has a calmness about her. She dosen't need to be center of attention.
2- Her kisses are to die for. I love the way she puckers up.
1- Last but not least, I love the way she tells it like it is. Now we just need to learn tact. I'm still working on that myself!


I love you Mia.

First day of school.

We are so excited around here. It's the first day of school. The girls were up at the crack of dawn dying to get dressed in their new clothes. I am excited for them and myself. My house is so peaceful right now. I can actually hear myself think. I love those two, but they are busy little girls that like to be entertained, and today is my day OFF!!!!
I hope they both have a great day.
They will.
They looked great.
They felt great.
They had more enthusiasm than they could control.

It's a wonderful day!

Fancy Tatum...

Tatum is 3!!!!!
July 19 was Tatums birthday. We had a little party with all of her friends. She wanted a "Fancy Nancy" party. All of her friends came dressed very FANCY of course. She had a blast. I think it was a success, thank goodness because I've had two birthday parties in two days. I'm exhausted!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATUM, we love you.
