Fab Five


Five is big, five is monumental, five means kindergarden is right around the corner. Alex is five.... sigh.

Alexandra Jane is my middle child. We tell her she is special because she is the only one that is a little sister and a big sister too. That is not the only reason my Alex is special of course. She is shy and quiet. She is the one that doesn't say much but when she does it amazes me how her brain works.

She got two of the same birthday card and was so excited she got twin cards. When she got the purple goldfish Webkinz for her birthday she said, "another twin" for my birthday. She named her Dora. Very cute because the other one is named Dory. Not upset she already has one, but content to have two. How cute is Dory and Dora?

She also got a real fish for her birthday. His name is Ned. Yes, Ned. Her room is mermaid and underwater. She is the only child in this house that almost everyday takes in upon herself to feed the dog. She wanted a fish. I prefaced it with fish die, are you sure you want a fish? I let her think about it. She said after a day or two she wanted a fish. We didn't "give" it to her he just mysteriously appeared on her dresser that evening. She was so surprised. That is why I picked the picture I posted. Even though we had talked about it at length for days she was still surprised. Just like every gift she was so excited (even if it was a twin) to have something new.

Alexandra is a thinker, an artist, a silly little girl that does very goofy things (just for mommy and daddy amusement of course). She hates bugs but likes hiking. She will eat just about anything including Daddy's hot wings. She loves Scooby-Doo and wants to be Velma for Halloween. She was fearfully and wonderfully made and a perfect gift for our family five years ago and I am blessed to be her mommy.

Alex had very special instructions for her birthday cookie, NOT CAKE! ~ no frosting just Happy Birthday Alex.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
