Another Milestone

My babies are growing up! Today my girls both did something that makes them look more grown up. FlowerChild went first but LadyBug did not want to do it. Later on though, once she saw that her sister had made it through, she decided to go for it.

They both had their ears pierced! FlowerChild chose large, sparkly pink studs. LadyBug chose little, dainty green studs. They both needed Mama to hold their hand but neither one cried. They look so pretty!

Tomorrow we will count 6 weeks out on the calendar so they can see when these earrings can come out. They are already looking at the earring selection to see what they want next!

    Oh I'm so proud of them both. We've been talking about it for Chicken Little, but I think I'm definitely going to wait until she's old enough to decide for herself. Can't wait to see the girls with their new jewels!!!!!!

    Mama Hen,
    I think little baby girls are so cute with pierced ears but I just never could bring myself to do it. I just felt more comfortable letting them decide for themselves.
    Oh, they are both so excited about showing everyone!

    Your girls are very brave. I should have had my daughter's peirced when she was younger. She wants to now but is too afraid of the pain, and she is eleven.

    Treany,
    Oh, poor thing! Some people are just very afraid of pain. One thing that helped, I think, is that there were two ladies doing it. So they got everything lined up and did both ears at the same time. Maybe that would be an idea for your daughter! :)

    Angela,
    Yes, and I am sure when they heal in 6 weeks we will immediately head to the nearest store! I can just hear them, " I want these, Mama, they look like Angela!" I hear that all the time whether it is clothes or shoes so why not earrings too? :) Love ya, sweetie!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...
