I would like to say I have been so busy that I couldn't ted to my blog, but truth is, I just choose to do other things. Instagram is so much easier than blogging. So. if you Instagram. follow me at Georgineb1.</div>

2014 was a blur. Charley turned 4, B started 2nd grade at a new school and turned 8! and Charley started reading and writing. I turned 43! Where has time gone? We also hit Disney in October for Halloween. We did it a little differently and stayed at the Beach Club Villas, where we had a kitchen, so eating at Disney was way better for me than relying on their restaurants (giant turkey leg?). Christmas was not the easiest for me. It seems like so much work! We toned it back a bit and told the girls they could only ask for a few things from Santa. Otherwise, Charley would circle everything in the Target Catalog and say she wants it. The year ended with both girls getting Chicken Pox! Yeah, really weird. B has been vaccinated and actually got more spots than the unvaccinated Charley. Truthfully, we tanked them up with Lysine and they got maybe 40 spots total between the two of them.</div>

This past January, the little bit turned 5. I couldn't believe she wanted a Frozen party, really an over played theme, but I made it work. I cut at least 200 snowflakes to hang from the dining room ceiling, blew up (OK, Mike did it and used a pump) 50 balloons for the family room, and had a sugar Olaf made. Anna and Elsa heard about the fabulous party and couldn't help but crash. There are a ton of photos - here are a few. Robin also took a bunch so it was a well covered party, photographically. </div>

What else? There has been plenty of art making, pretzel bun making, granola making, sewing. We are spending a lot of time making a lot of our food. I am tired of looking at the back of a package to see it has food coloring or preservatives or something our kids should not be eating (or us for that matter). <br />
<br />
B, 8, is into karate (currently a red belt). Charley, 5 is into ballet and acting. Both are makers and love Netflix. They paint shirts, make stop motion films, make dioramas, potion making and Perler beads. Mike took them to the Daddy Daughter Dance. I have been sewing Alabama Chanin Style and well as machine sewing and doing some painting, drawing and stamp making. Bird/squirrel watching/feeding, crazy hair day, snow, days off school, hand making valentines, legos. We are not busy, but we get stuff done.<br />

I took them to Michael's bought them a boat-load of Model Magic- like enough to keep them busy for a month. It barely lasted the afternoon.

B kept reminding me that I told them they could eat as much candy as
they wanted because it was Halloween. I reminded her that she had to
eat healthy meals and then she could have whatever she wanted. I am a
fool. I know it, but Halloween! </div>

We got a move on that morning because I
had to be at Charley's school for her party. It was so cute seeing all
the kids dressed up.<br />

There was a lot packed into one little party. Stories read, a parade, snacks, rice crispy dipping with sprinkles, and a fun footprint craft (no pictures, because I was painting feet.) <br />

Another parent helped out, thankfully. She is a Montessori teacher (not currently working, being a Mom instead) so she has a cool head and is great with kids (unlike me, who says things like, well, this is a family blog, you don't want to hear the things I say to kids).<br />

After Charley's party, I went home, scarfed some lunch, left Charley with Mike and ran over to B's school. Where there was no fucking parking. NONE! People were parked on side streets. They were triple parked in the parking lot. No exaggeration. I could barely get through to the bus lane, where I parked. I did make it in time for the parade! There were some cute costumes. One of our friends went as Albert Einstein. <br />

After most of the parade me and the other party moms hurried down to the classroom to set up. One of the moms, a seasoned school party pro came up with some cute games. Mystery Bag, Halloween music limbo and oh, wrap the mummy with toilet paper and a relay race moving balls between pumpkins. <br />

OK, let's talk about the party a bit. The teacher was great. She really didn't care what went on. But the school has declared that no food would be given or served. So the goody bags were non-candy (which was hard without giving junky junk, which we ended up doing, but there was a cool giant glow wand). Here's what pissed me off. The PTO provided a safe, non allergenic snack that was "healthy." Popcorn (and I won't start a huge debate, but is GMO popcorn really healthy). OK, I can live with the Skinny Pop, but they didn't give out any drinks. Not even some paper cups and a pitcher of water. Seriously, it is Halloween people! Give the kids some water!<br />

The party was the last hour of school. So B and I came home and I sat with my feet up for an hour. I could never be a teacher. First, I hate kids, second, they are tiring! I was exhausted. But Halloween must go on. So, we passed out some treats at home then went over to the old hood for the annual Soups and Spooks party at a friends. There was more candy, more fun and more exhaustion (and some rain!), but it was all worth it (even the drink I needed, I mean had). </div>

I used to love Halloween. Decorations everywhere. Since we have moved to The Brady House, not so much. Still, I have been immersed in all things Halloween (I should tell you I was going to decorate - bats on the front porch, mice on the stairs, some Martha Stewart stuff bought at Michaels, but the kids weren't that into helping so, I thought, WTF? and did nothing.). Parties, parties, parties. I helped plan three different halloween parties, and the kids went to a couple costume birthday parties. So, the costumes were worn a lot. </div>
<br />
<br />
On the Saturday before Halloween, the girls went to Lola's art birthday party. Knowing they also had to wear costumes the next day to the golf club's party (first party I helped plan), Mike I threw together some alternate costumes. Do you know who they are? I am sure not, so I will tell you.<br />

B is Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon and Charley is Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. <br />

Sunday was the golf club party. I thought the kids would have worn their other costumes, but they opted again for Astrid and Izzy. They ate lots of candy, jumped on a giant jumpy obstacle course and did some open miking.<br />

I am having some technical difficulties (feline as well, that is why this got posted without content. Scoops the cat thinks it is perfectly reasonable to walk on my keyboard while I am at the computer), so I will continue this post at a later time. For some reason, I can't get the rest of the pictures on the post.

So, B is 7. Last night Mike and I were sitting in the sofa while B and Charley were putting in a dragon parade with the Model Magic dragons they made, and as I watched them, I had such an incredulous feeling. Where did these kids come from and is this really my life: Then I thought I shouldn't be surprised because this has been my life fir 7 years. SEVEN YEARS!!! Crapola, each day seems like a lifetime, but that 7 years is a mere blur. Add in the littlest beast and now I know why my face is old. These kids have aged me! And lucky for me (as well as you, my gentle reader, who should be spared such horrible visions) there is not much physical evidence on this blog of my oldness. So we are both happy, I will keep pictures of myself to a bare minimum or at least I will only have my picture taken from either far away or the Martha Stewart method where the photo is shot through some gauze to blur the scariness.</div>

B had a balloon ties to her hair when she awoke, and Mike,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chatch and me took her lunch and ate with her at school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We picked her up, and while we waited for Mike to come home to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
open presents, B opened the package that contained her Halloween</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
costume. No, I didn't make it. Chasing Fireflies sourced it, probably from</div>

China. To say B loves this costume is an understatement. She <b>LOVES</b> it!</div>

Mike hurried home from work so B could open her presents. She got</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a lot of books. And a few Playmobil items (like the German Shepard dog</div>

OK, lets move on from things that threaten to make me cry.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, you know fairies are the thing here in the Brady house, right? Well on B's birthday, Grandpa and Pat took B to the Mossy Twig and bought B some fairy things. She set up a little fairy scene outside my studio/office (I think I may become more creative and talented if I call it a studio).<br />

So, we have talked about the Big one, let's discuss the little one. OK, this may be the one that causes the big one (I'm coming Elizabeth!). I cannot wait until she turn four, because if at least half the drama subsides, it may bring her dramatics down to Liz Taylor standards. Oh year, she is that bad. And, Charley, like her Mother, is not a morning person. And we all wake up early these days. Mike, of course, is up early, as bright as a daisy. I stumble down to the kitchen hoping the coffee maker is filled with water. B isn't horrible, but Chatch is a bear. Below, you see her right after we took B to school. I grab her out of bed, wrapped in a blanket. When we get home, the first order is chocolate almond milk with homemade chocolate syrup. (I mention this because I am ashamed that she drink this. The one saving thing is it organic, not cow's milk and there is no corn syrup or coloring anywhere.) </div>

My advice if you do this, is not to use colored candy melt. (I used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
white at Charley's school after this experience.) The red and pink I used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made the girls crazy! After they were done, they ran outside all willy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nilly with shoes or coats. (After you dip in candy melt,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you dip the treats into sprinkles - more food coloring. I am so dumb.)</div>

thing Charley eats for breakfast? HOTDOGS! (Here is the part where</div>

I tell you they are not only organic, but also grass fed beef. The worst part</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sodium. But still, these hotdogs are like all others, made from lips and assholes,</div>

And lastly, here is a picture of the girls in their Halloween PJs. Charley's glow in the dark. They are really cool. She wore them a lot. They came with B's costume - from Chasing Fireflies. I should see if they have a Christmas pair for her. I have some glow in the dark fabric paint, I might be able to make some. Christmas lights maybe? Santa Hats? Hmmmmmm...... I am in a creative rut, so any suggestions is appreciated.</div>

Writing this post reminded me why I don't blog more. It takes a lot of time. And I type fairly fast and accurately. But I will get up the actual Halloween pictures. It was a busy Halloween. Lots of parties and Halloweeness. I am Halloweened out. I am so Halloweened out, that I actually had two drinks at Keli's Halloween party Halloween night. Crap, I am even tired of writing Halloween. You all may only get picture on the next post. No commentary. If you are lucky.</div>

The bounce house arrived early so the girls played while my sister and Cathie P. helped with all the last minute stuff.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/14/1269.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/14/s_1269.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/14/1270.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/14/s_1270.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/14/1271.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/14/s_1271.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />When I asked B what type of party she wanted, she said reptile. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/14/1272.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/14/s_1272.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Cathie P. introduced us to Lovin Ovens, a great bakery.

For the last part of the summer, Charley has been talking about Climbing Girl and Climbing Kitty - superheroes. She first wanted to be Climbing Girl, with orange and green leggings. Then it morphed into Climbing Kitty. So, together we drew up an outfit complete with colors - because Charley is not one to trifle with and she will have a fit if you don't read her mind and who needs that, for the fourth time that day? I made the costume a bit early because Charley was invited to a super hero birthday party - so the good thing it is ready for Halloween.<br /><br />I used the Lil Blue Boo Sienna 2.0 pattern and made a pattern for the cape (which I cut incorrectly and had to fix - which is why is is short). I found the mask template on the internet then shrunk it on the copier. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2183.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2183.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I like how the satin looks, but it is seriously miserable to work with - slippery and it frays. I had trouble finding a lightening bolt embroidery pattern, so I did an appliqué instead.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2184.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2184.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />We got ready for the party. Put streaks in her hair, added her kitty ears.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2185.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2185.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Seriously cute right? Turns out the party was the next day. Charley was so excited, then so disappointed. I apologized profusely, then offered her chocolate milk and everything was fine.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2186.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2186.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2187.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2187.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2188.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2188.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />So Chatch went to the party the next day and had a lot of fun.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2189.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2189.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2190.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2190.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Here are the kids showing their muscles.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2192.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2192.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Here is my little challenge with hair she designed herself.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2193.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2193.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/10/06/2194.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/10/06/s_2194.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I cannot remember where we went that day, maybe school?

B started FIRST GRADE! I can't believe it. I don't know who was more nervous, B or me. And school starts early. B has to be there by 7:55. Mike wakes her up around 6:45. Let's just say, by the end of the week, we are all tired. <br /><br />Breakfast of Champions?<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/09/30/1797.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/09/30/s_1797.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />See Charley smiling?

Some day I will get caught up and tell you about stuff we having be doing/making. Right now, I saw something I wanted to make and all I can remember is that it had feathers stencil or silk screened or embroidered on it.<br />
<br />
My memory is so bad my friend Sandy recently told me I will be screwed when I get older.<br />

The real birthdays were my sister's and our country's. However, Charley also declared it was Periwinkle and Puff Balls birthday this past week. Complete with candles and song. It was also a great week because Mike took time off work. Yes, a Perfect Storm of Goodness! Cake and help with Frick and Frack!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We'll start our recap with Periwinkle's birthday the same day as Lee's. Perwinkle enjoyed pancakes after she blew out her candle. It should be noted here that the day did not finish well for Peri. Though she traveled with us to Lee's, she was left on the ground when we came home and Layla, upset at being left, took it out on Peri. Periwinkle has already had reconstructive surgery on her nose and tail and is currently in the Hospital (my office) awaiting eye re-attachment surgery. If anyone has advice on how to do this, I am all ears (which Peri is not. She lost one and we couldn't find it.)</div>

We packed into the car and we were off to Camp Lee's. I made a cake to bring and let me tell you, I was sweating that it wasn't good. I cannot afford to being any bad cake's to my sister's. My nephew still doesn't let me forget the horrible hockey puck (which has a triple meaning, it looked like a hockey puck, tasted like a hockey puck and was heavy enough to be a hockey puck) cake I made 10 years ago.<br />

We started with gifts. ***NOTE***** There will be no pictures of my sister. She doesn't like her picture taken, so even though I took some, I will not post them. Since it was her birthday wish <i>and </i>she paid me handsomely not to.<br />

Next birthday on the docket was Puff Ball's. Now, Puff isn't a member of our family, but was lent to us by a friend. Still, we are "party" people.... candle in a hot dog. OK, yes, Charley is eating a hot dog for breakfast. But it is all organic grass fed beef and nitrite and preservative free. It is better than the GF pancakes with colored sprinkles she was eating. We are getting rid of all food colors. Bad Stuff Man!<br />

That takes care of some of the cuter photos of the girls. I have some other stuff to post, like the baby birds living in our gutter holder or Mike said eaves - right outside the kitchen window in our courtyard. Oh wait, here are the pictures. Click on them to see the finches. They were hungry little buggers. And then one day, they were flying away. Made me a little sad.<br />

I was hoping a pair of cardinals built a nest in a courtyard bush. I saw them going into the bush with stuff in their beaks, but I looked and didn't seen a nest. All around the house are nests. Robins, squirrels, spiders. There is a positive side to not using a lot of chemicals and pesticides. You know, besides the copious amount of maple trees/weeds growing.<br />

I have mentioned what a great park district we have. They have all sorts of fun things for kids. One that we haven't missed in six years (OK, one year we didn't release butterflies because they were late coming from the airport. The president was in town and had the highway shut down. We were there though. Probably did a butterfly craft and had cookies and a juice pouch.). The butterfly house release party. Everyone who registers gets to release two butterflies(or four- we have been lucky in recent years and got extra). My kids as well as their friends love it. And it is even better when a butterfly lands on you.</div>
<br />
<br />
Let's start with what Chatch is wearing. This is a Figgy's Scirocco dress I made. The skirt is different because I serged into the original flouncy skirt. This is what happens when you are in a hurry. I was lucky to have enough fabric left to do a circle skirt. Both girls have a Scirocco dress (B has two I think) and they love the back.<br />

Charley and I picked B up from school and headed out to the farm. This is the first year Mike hasn't come with us. Maybe he had a meeting?<br />

B opened the package, which is amazing. Not that she opened it, but that the butterflies are in little wax envelopes. I asked how they got into the envelope, but no one knew. That is how they come from the butterfly factory in Florida.<br />
<br />
B got a big surprise when the first one landed on her (too big) tee. <br />

B's Kindergarten GraduationThis was in late August, 2012.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/06/10/1013.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/06/10/s_1013.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This was 31 May 2013.

But, personally, I love it. I remember going to my nephew and nieces' graduations, and they sang songs and were so cute. Now it was B's time to be cute, and I loved every minute. Except the minutes I was a little teary.<br /><br />B was so excited when she woke up.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/06/10/1015.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/06/10/s_1015.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />She had a half day of school, then just the kindergarteners ate lunch at school.

Mike, B's valet, made a last minute save with a stapler.

The directress put together a great collage frame of pictures of the kids, and their teachers.

Some she will see again, so she won't. Her one friend moved away the same day. She will miss him, I know she gave him a giant squeeze! I can't believe she is going to first grade in another school. She was at Montessori for five years. I know she will miss her teachers. Will they miss her? Probably. B is a unique kid. She is very forth coming and will ask a lot of questions and say funny things (sometimes unknowingly). B is also a challenge. She isn't the best listener - and when I say this, I mean she hears you, you will just get a debate if she doesn't agree with you. Which, may be a good quality when she is older, but kind of sucks now. Strong willed to the end, that kid is. Anyway. Here are some not so lovely family portraits. Lucky Mike, he always looks good.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/06/10/1027.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/06/10/s_1027.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/06/10/1028.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/06/10/s_1028.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Georginehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01700118666406927147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240020312570269525.post-15089083811598031072013-05-24T20:05:00.003-05:002013-05-24T20:05:46.558-05:00Spring Holiday 2013I would like to say we branched out this year and went somewhere new, but the lure of a nonstop flight, almost guaranteed weather, and chips, guacamole and margaritas won out. So, Mexico is where we went. This year we tried the town of Punta de Mita. North of Puerto Vallera, this town has calm, warmer waters (unlike San Pancho, where the water was rough and cold) and a nice town in walking distance of the condo we rented. Our plan was to go for 13 days, but when we arrived at the airport, we learned that B's passport was EXPIRED! By about 10 days. (OK we are glad it expired before we left, because we would have been stuck in Mexico if the passport expired while we were there.) So, home we went. Hired an expediter who told us exactly what to do. Post office, drive to Chicago (thank God we live close to a passport agency) and drop into some guys hands. That was Thursday, Friday afternoon we had the passpport and Saturday morning, we were on our way. The problem with a Saturday flight? Customs was crazy! Huge, hot line with hungry, thirsty girls. They were about ready to lose it (after standing in line for a half hour and a loooong way to go) when some nice airport guy motioned for us to come with him to a line that only had a few people. So, we went from 150 people to 4. I teared up. I have to say, people in Mexico love kids, and everywhere we went, the girls got a lot of nice attention, whether it was a little dessert or a straw purse or some strawberries WITH SUGAR when we sat down.<br />
<br />
The condo was fairly nice. It was on the first floor so the view was as good as the floors above, but we could walk in and out to the pool and beach with no problems. Great for getting food, the bathroom, the time or the 1000 costume changes Charley did every day. The beach was great, not too busy, but people walking by. Last year, no one walked by. And the condo had other guests with kids. Great for the girls. And the ocean was steps away. Really, I didn't want to come home. We had the condo manager shop for us and we also brought a cooler of food, that we checked. You all know I am weird about my food, so we brought chicken, gluten free waffles I made at home and froze. Lunch foods for the girls (like the GF crispy chicken they like, and the tempura shrimp Chatch eats). I can't remember what else, oh, I know, 24 double dark chocolates - for me.<br />
<br />
We had fun, it was great, I am counting down for next year. And why wouldn't I be? It appears that summer will never arrive. Hot today, cold tomorrow. <br />
<br />
OK, enough belly aching. Here are the pictures.<br />

There were a lot of restaurants. And they were all OK. You know when you go to a place called Rosa Mexicana, you expect really good Mexican food. And it was just OK. You could swim in the margarita, and they had an awesome salsa they put together at the table and they were so sweet to the girls, and we sat looking at the ocean (all the restaurants are on the water, and outside) but the actual food. OK. Almost dumbed down. </div>

The beach was fabulous. The girls loved the waves. Both tried boogie boarding. B did it twice (she fell off the second time) and Cha Cha tried it once. Me? I just walked around in a bathing suit trying to work off the chip and margarita bloat. We also (though I don't have any pictures) saw crabs, and a dead puffer fish, whales, and tons of birds. The birds were amazing, swooping in the air currents. Pelicans diving for fish. Wonderful.<br />

Despite the passport screw up (everyone's expiration date is now on my Mac calendar) this was a fantastic holiday. We are fortunate my girls are close. I am not saying they never fight or needle each other, but try and separate them. B does a good job of taking care of her sister and Charley is devastated if B gets in trouble. Ahhh.... my girls. I hope they remember all the fun they have together and with us. Because this year, even though there is no photographic evidence, I did go in the pool. More than once and I got my hair wet. Write that down......<br />

I think I checked out last fall when I got the hives. I was tired a lot and crabby since I couldn't eat the foods I was used to eating (read chocolate covered caramels) and I spent a lot of time hungry, trying to figure out what I could eat that wouldn't make me itchy and have trouble breathing. <br />

The poor kids had to hear a lot how I had a headache or I was tired. I really just wanted to be left alone so I could sew or paint or clean up the numerous messes around the house. Christmas came with a flu that left Mike with pneumonia and me with a sinus infection. Add in Charley's birthday and I was a pale (truly pale) version of my worse self.</div>

Sometimes the many responsibilities weigh you down and you just get overwhelmed and don't know how to do it all, even though you probably can't (Which makes me crazy. Give me more hours in the day and more energy). I am one who likes her sleep too. Add in a cat that wakes you up to use the litter box or a kid that cries out because they are uncovered and cold, and there just isn't enough sleep to go around.<br />

I thought everything was OK. Yeah, the kids drove (drive) me crazy but that is normal. But I haven't been present with them. I let them watch a lot of tv. The wake up came when B just wasn't progressing in school they way I would like. A child who loves information didn't want to read and had horrible hand writing. At the beginning of the year I was concerned about reading and the teachers said don't push it. Well, in March, B was still not what I would call a reader. I had bought books at the book store, but B had a lot of trouble.<br />

I had a not so minor meltdown last week that was caused by a lot of guilt. Guilty that I really wanted to get away from the kids and I didn't enjoy any time I spent with them. Each puzzle I did with Charley was just marking time until B came home to play with her. Every TV show just gave me more time that I didn't have to listen to them. And I felt guilty that I let B off the hook with learning. A smart kid can just coast by by not even trying. Oh, how I failed her, not finding her motivation (which happens to be TV tickets and trips to Learning Express (one of the rewards on the summer reading chart)).<br />

Mike pulled me out of the funk (probably temporarily, because today, my kids are a holy terror of a challenge and I just want to hide in the bathroom) and I am really trying to spend meaningful time with them. I still find it hard because I exercise hard and still don't get enough sleep or enough time to make fun things, but I am trying. Why is trying so hard?<br />

Maybe this will help me understand B. When stuff is hard, the perfectionist (which I really am not, Mike is the one who fits this bill) in B won't even try. She is so used to stuff being easy. With practice, her reading has gotten easier (her hand writing, oh, we work on it, but man, that kid should stick with a computer). I need to learn from this. Patience takes practice. <br />

These are some pictures from the last week or so. I am trying to put down the phone, and not work on a project during puzzle or tea time (Charley is really into tea parties lately). And I am saying yes when they want to go to the park or play on the swingset with me. Though I really want lock myself in my office and paint t-shirts. We went to the zoo last week when they had a half day because of school conferences, just because they wanted to pet sting rays.<br />

Every day is a new day and a new chance for me to be better. So many things I should do better. So many things to be done. So many ways to fail. Wait, why do I get out of bed again? <br />

Turns out, motherhood is a thankless job, and let me tell you, my kids are some of the politest out there - well B is. Charley isn't quite there yet. There are few rewards. More like lumps, bumps and saggy boobs. <br />

But there are moments. And those are the ones I need to recognize and remember. The, "you are the best Mom there is." Which, let me tell you is not said as often as "get out of my room" (which I heard today). Or, when I see them do something they are so proud to do. Whether it is reading, or doing the monkey bars, buttering their own english muffin or setting the table. <br />

I have it easy. I have a fab husband who picks up a lot of slack. He picks up B from school when Charley and I are running late at the store. He listens to all my worrying, even when he has already heard it 10 times.<br />

He takes out the garbage (and thank God because if it were up to me, it would linger past its due) mows the lawn, listens to my off key singing of made up lyrics, takes turns taking that cat to the litter box, cooks dinner (because we would starve if it were up to me to cook, lots of greens and eggs (told you there isn't a lot I eat)) and looks hot on a daily basis while talking me off the ledge.<br />

Enough poor me, poor me. Because, though my kids are "strong willed" (which is Montessori for stubborn - something they got from my Mother) and almost a daily challenge not to strangle them, I have it pretty easy. My husband doesn't travel, my kids are healthy and there is a fabulous shoe store and chocolatier in town (must have shoes and have to have my ACK double darks). <br />

Every morning I wake up to a new day and try to do a better job at life. I find if I get my breakfast eaten before the stampede of little feet comes down the hallway, I am off to a good start (that and that first cup of coffee, why is that first cup of the day so good?). If we get to school close to on time - it is better. Then if I get in my exercise class and some sewing, it is even better. Add in some kids who are goofy like mine (love the pictures right?), and cross your fingers they each only have one breakdown a day and maybe we have tacos for dinner with a chocolate chaser? Well, I can't ask for more than that. <br />

B and I used to do art ALL the time. Every day. And when Charley came along, I still managed to do it. Lately, I haven't been into it. The girls pull me in different directions, and it is hard for me to manage helping both of them with their work. Also, their art room has been a disaster. We tried storing some toys in there, and it ended up a big mess. (The shelves we such a mess the girls couldn't put stuff away, <i>even </i>if they wanted to.) So I picked up the toys and moved them upstairs (leaving their favorites on the one of the shelves. I still need to move stuff around and clean out the playdoh bin, but at least I want to go in the room now. Still, I love the art the girls do. School and home and sushi dinner (they always drew stuff at SD.) Here is a little sampling of B and Charley's art.</div>

These are the coolest markers. They are airbrush markers B got for Christmas. So much fun - I want some. (I can't seem to find them again to link to them. I bought them at the Land Of Nod, but Amazon used to have them. They probably have some chemical and were removed from the market.)<br />

As I mentioned in the last post, our park district is pretty good. Every year they put on a Daddy-Daughter dance. B went last year, but this is the first year for Chatch. (This first picture shows you Charley's usual emotional state since she has turned three) <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The girls got dressed in some fancy clothes, and since Mike didn't have anything fancy, he went out that day to find something. Add a tan and he cleans up pretty well. They went out with a group of Dads and Daughters. First for pizza, then to the dance. I think they had fun. But what do I know? The dance was in February and now it is May.<br />

And if one is in trouble, you better bet, the other one is there trying to comfort the trouble maker. If you try to separate them because they are arguing, they will cry to be playing again.

We have a great Park District. They have a bunch of classes and events
that both my kids like. B went to a class on Mollusks, and Charley,
well, she went to one called "Tiny Princesses". <br />

Chatch was very excited to go to Princess school. So excited, that she was probably the best and most elaborately dressed princess there. Crafts, stories and a snack were on tap.<br />

Ok,I can't expect that you'll actually buy that line. I will just be honest and admit I am a lazy bum. Not that we have the measure of my character lets see if the party was a success.<br /><br />Guess the theme?<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/841.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_841.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />Yes, it was a princess theme. Charley wanted everything her favorite color which is red. Oh my God, my first thought was how was I going to make it less bordello? I convinced her pink was a natural accent.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/842.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_842.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/843.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_843.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />Instead of sending out Christmas cards, I made the invites, then we all came down with the flu. But the day after Christmas, still a little sick, I dove into the party prep. I had about a week and a half to do everything, less the cake and cookie favors. Thank God for Aunt Lee. She got the cake and the cookies for me. <br /><br />Lest you think Charley is not a full fledged member of the princess party, I offer you this picture (because, seriously, look at her):<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/844.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_844.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />The first thing I did was paint the magic mirror on the wall (see the first photo in the post). That took longer than necessary, but it was fun! I used a mirror of my moms and it was perfect. Next, I wanted a tulle skirt for the dining room table. Damn Pinterest! The pin I found was a little round table, not the 10 foot table we have. But, I figured how hard could it be? I did some mental figuring and bought 25 yards of red tulle and whatever pink fancy material Joann's had on sale to cover the top. I went home, cut a manageable piece of tulle and gathered it on my machine. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/845.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_845.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br />See that above? All 25 yards. Yeah, I was in trouble. That was doubled over too. So, I went back to Joann's bought them out. Then Hobby Lobby (on New Years Day) then Mike went to another Hobby Lobby and bought what they had. I had just enough left to cover the holes the electrician made in the ceiling when he fianlly hung the lights we bought before Christmas - Christmas 2011, that is.<br /><br />I actually gathered almost 200 yards of tulle (if anyone needs some red tulle, I will pay you to take some), but it looked pretty cool. I went to Party City to get some fun stuff to hang and to Michaels for some red glitter to make hanging lanterns even more fun. Bought some stuff on Amazon. Had a sugar Cinderella carriage made, set up a vignette and oh, most importantly, hired some princesses.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/846.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_846.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Ok, this seems like a gross thing, but candy melt dipped match allows with sanding sugar are really good. They went like hot cakes.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/847.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_847.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/848.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_848.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/849.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_849.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/850.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_850.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/851.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_851.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/852.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_852.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />So, this fantastic cake. Well, Lee brought it in, set it on the table, we walked out, came back in two seconds later, and Layla was eating a tower! We turned the cake a bit and no one noticed. That was one part we didn't offer anyone. This cake was so good, I had to throw away what was left the next day. Every time I walked by, I had a fork in hand to take another bite.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/853.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_853.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Charley was do excited. She wanted all the princesses to come. I explained some had prior commitments. She did not want a pirate to come or boys for that matter. Our sweet little brat actually hid under the dining table when our friend Torin came. Marci had to crawl under their and coax the birthday girl to come out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/854.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_854.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/855.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_855.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Cha Cha was really excited.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/856.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_856.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/857.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_857.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This is Pirate Pete.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/858.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_858.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Belle and Aurora read books, played games, decorated a crown - they were fabulous! I couldn't have asked for better entertainment. Pirate Pete had some music and games for the boys as well.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/859.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_859.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/27/860.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/27/s_860.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br />Ok, warning before this next photo.

The hygienist said B's tooth was loose a couple of visits ago. I worried at the time but the tooth never fell out so I just filed the worry away. Flash forward to a month or so ago when said tooth became extra loose. Wiggly according to B. Still in denial, I forged on not believing it would ever happen. When I picked her up from school today I got the bad news. Boy, B was so excited. She lost the tooth at lunch. First kid in kindergarten to lose a tooth. <br /><br /> B is writing a note asking the Tooth Fairy to leave the tooth. And the Tooth Fairy is googling just how much kids get these days for losing their first tooth. <br /><br />I am putting this kid in a bubble, people. No more growing up for her. Sob. Tears. Boo hoo. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/01/1842.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/01/s_1842.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/01/1843.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/01/s_1843.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/01/1844.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/01/s_1844.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Georginehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01700118666406927147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240020312570269525.post-40185722405185085172013-01-11T17:16:00.000-06:002013-01-11T17:16:57.270-06:00Let's Play Catch-Up November and December<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, I have been absent for a long, long time. And you ask yourself, "this is the first picture she shows us?" Yes, because I am too lazy to move said photo to add text. Why am I lazy you ask? OK, I know, you all know, Lazy is my middle name, so maybe you aren't asking that. But I will tell you<br />
I am glad it has passed by. Bring on the heat and sun of summer!<br />
<br />
I don't have a lot from November because I got a cold, a sinus infection then Thanksgiving Day, another cold. Really. STUNK! The sinus infection was such a surprise that I went to the dentist thinking I needed root canal! And since this post is starting in the vein of WGN's Cathy and Judy's Merry Medical Christmas, (seriously, I loved Cathy and Judy. Why WGN? Why?) have I mentioned the hives? The result of my sensitivity to sulfites? Yeah, and since I am gluten free, anything I ate GF, most likely had sulfites, in the form of potato starch. I could go on and on about sulfites and where they are (everywhere) but there are other sites available for that and you are here to see pictures of the kids right? Oh, just in case I forget to mention, we all got the flu two weekend before Christmas, then I got another sinus infection. Seriously, I got a rec to an ENT. Now, if I can make the time to go.<br />
<br />
OK, I can hear the shouting people, simmer down. Here are the photos......<br />

15 November 2012<br />
<br />
(I know these pictures aren't of the girls. Sorry, but they are in chronological order)<br />
<br />
Let me tell you how hard it is to find stuff to decorate for Thanksgiving in November. The lady at Michaels said I needed to buy stuff in early September. The good thing is a lot of it is on clearance. Like the gourds I bougt at West Elm. But the thing I love the most is the Sugar Pumpkin in the middle. Chef Roby at the All Chocolate does the wonderful sugar sculptures. And they last year to year. Usually I don't decorate for fall (or pretty much anything else anymore, you just have to put it away, you know?) but I was hosting book club, so I put some effort into it. My table is so big and great, it looks great decorated.<br />

A lovely day after school. The girls were plenty warm. Me? I was clutching my All Chocolate Kitchen coffee trying to stay warm. We are at the Old Park. Now, when we lived on James Street, they always wanted to go to Turtle Park. Now that we live close to Turtle Park, Charley wants to go to the Old Park. Just like Prince's Mom, Never Satisfied.<br />

Charley asks to go to the zoo on a regular basis, but since B is in school all day, it is hard to plan a day. They had the day before Thanksgiving off, so we headed to Brookfield. And we had fun! I think I bribed them with an Aunt Annie's pretzel so I could stop at Oakbrook to pick up some stationery at Paper Source.<br />

I was perusing the Target-Neiman Marcus collaboration when Charley saw this dress. So I bought it. It came early one morning (she was home with a runny nose) and she put it on right away. Wore it all day - no princess dress over it. A winner!<br />

This year Johnson found a good friend in Fawn. They hung out most of December in various places around the house. Driving a car, reading books, eating my chocolate and sharing a hot chocolate on this day. B thinks Johnson likes Fawn because she likes animals and is dressed in a red suit that B made.<br />

Here Charley has on highlighter eye shadow. And her hipster glasses. These are actually 3d glasses from when we saw Monsters Inc 3D. Charley popped out the lenses. She actually wears them quite often.<br />

My sister will notice there are more pictures of Charley than there are of B. Charley is home more often. B goes to school all day, everyday. YIKES! It means I play a lot of playdoh, draw, paint, read, puzzles, Ipsy books. Though, I find it hard to believe she is only going to be three. Must be because she hangs with the big girls. Charley finds it hard when B has a separate playdate or a birthday party. We take Chatch out for ice cream. B has a playdate Sunday, I better find something fun for her to do.<br />
