I Heart Texas

Yesterday was amazing. It was almost 90 degrees. It was sunny. The sky was blue. I wore a skirt and flip flops to school. We had hamburgers on the grill and drank Dos Equis with lime while the girls played outside in barefeet and ate popsicles. And best of all we don't have to buy tulips to appreciate them...they are already blooming in everyone's yards! Yes folks, remind me again in August why I moved here cuz this is it!

Sick Child #3

Wonder how I have so much time to blog? I am home with sick child number 3. First Carsyn had pneumonia. The next week Marcus has pharyngitis. Now this week Payton has strepthroat. She is feeling a lot better today but had to stay home because she's still contagious. She was NOT feeling well yesterday but her boyfriend, Batman, watched over her while she slept. Isn't that giant guy fabulous? Today she is up and at 'em in her Spiderman pajamas riding her Spiderman scooter.

Our handiwork

We have been very busy around the house finishing things and reorganizing. In the past week we have painted the ceilings to match the entry walls, painted the blinds a light brown instead of a blinding white, reorganized the pantry, did some finishing touches in my bedroom and started an herb garden. This will probably be of interested to no one but Amy...you know how she loves organization! Check out my memo board...i estimated that we need to drink about 70 more bottles of wine to finish the pattern...that may take a while!

Your Next Project Runway Star!

Carsyn has this amazing knack for fashion...she really understands what works and what doesn't. The other day she found a skirt of mine upstairs in the playclothes and figured out how to turn it into a strapless dress by using a scarf to hold it up. It may not photograph well...but check out how she wrapped that scarf around to make straps...it was very impressive. MAKE IT WORK! By the way...the accessories were all her doing too!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Scott turned ????? last Thursday. Here are some photos of our in-house celebration!

100 Day Celebration

Carsyn celebrated 100 day at school last Tuesday. She was supposed to dress like she was 100 years old so we made her an official member of the red hat society.

Toddlers and Tiara's Part 2

Here's Payton's version of Toddler's and Tiaras. We had no false eyelashes and she does not have the hair volume of her sister...we would definitely need a hair piece. Does anyone watch that show besides me? It's crazy!

Pretty Pretty Payton

So, as you all know, Payton is quite a character. This morning I went to school early to do some paperwork. Marcus was supposed to make sure he and the girls were dressed and ready so when I got home we could take him to school. Payton dressed herself in this getup...what do you think? How come she can mix anything together and look adorable? Is it because she's three or because she's Payton?

Sick Day

So Carsyn started in with a fever on Friday night. After two days of that off and on, plus some breathing problems saturday night we went to the doctor yesterday and found out she has pneumonia. Well technically it's not pneumonia yet, but they are treating it like it is because it was very close. Here's my sick girl in bed. Today she's bouncing off the walls since the albuterol and sterroids have kicked in!
