<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow, it's been awhile. Not sure why it has been so difficult for me to keep up. I guess its more the act of sitting down at the computer and plugging in the phone/camera than anything. But here I am for a quick update. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would love to jump in right where I left off but it seems that since so much time has passed, the old photos from January seem irrelevant. Everyone has grown and changed so much. The kids just aren't the people they were back then. Seems impossible but its true. So here are some of the highlights of life lately.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nyah is reading and writing like a fiend and doing great in school and best of all, she loves it. George is the designated math teacher in the house and guess what Nyah excels in...math, obviously. He's such a great teacher.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Elsa is the same happy wonderful smart child she has always been and it is pretty much summed up in her school photo this year. This is Elsa 100%. When I ask her teacher at school if Elsa has had a good day, the response I typically get is, "Elsa always has a good day." And it's true. This child is happiness.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jude has had the most drastic change of all. He is talking up a storm and rambles out sentences that make George and I look at each other with such amazement because we had no clue he could say any of the words. Like, "I will do it myself, Daddy." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And Daddy it is. Seems the tides have changed and Jude is finally starting to favor George a little more. He was such a devout Momma's boy for so long and I think George was starting to wonder but Jude is now George's shadow, doing and following and helping him at all times. It's precious. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is it. This is how our mornings now look. Though we haven't quite gotten into the routine of it being just the two of us, due to things like life, we are working on it. Now that we are out of the car, having completed all of our get life back on track and organized errands of January, and Jude is healthy, I feel like our time together has finally begun. And I love it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our sweet Elsie has left the nest! Well, just in the mornings, but I can't even explain how much I miss her spark and energy already. Our mornings just won't be the same without her around but every party of me knows that she is absolutely ready to be out learning. No looking back, no cries, no butterflies-she is loving it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her first day of preschool went really well. I was a bit worried if she was going to be able to bring it down a few notches and be able to mesh with a group in a controlled environment. She is an absolute sweetheart but she kinda runs the show around here and isn't a bit shy to express her needs. I just hoped her teacher was ready for the big personality that is Elsa.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The teacher reported that Elsa is all I had explained and more. And laughed that the class "bully" (I guess?) had finally met her match in Elsa. Elsa didn't take one ounce of the little girls antics for one minute. Oh boy, she's an island girls for sure. Don't let her size fool you.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were hoping for snow during our trip to Indiana and wow, did it snow...and snow. I was thrilled that the kids got to experience the awe of waking up to a blanket of fresh snow covering the ground. They were of course eager to get out in it and as soon as the winds calmed, we did just that.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The thing about snow is that it requires lots of gear, gear we just don't have. We did our best piecing items to keep the little ones warm and dry together but the stores were out of snow pants and snow boots. See stylish plastic bags around their feet. That was my invention, it's not pretty but it seemed to work, for a while.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was so special to watch my own enjoy so many of the wonderful holiday traditions and memories I did as a child. It warmed me right up. It even snowed while we were there (!!), but that is for another post.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We spent Christmas Eve at my grandma's house (Nan) and took photos in front of the mantle like I have a million times before. We enjoyed a candlelight dinner that ended too soon because the kids were anxiously awaiting the moment they could open their gifts, just as I once did.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First thing is first. I am a slacker so here are some Halloween pictures. We were throwing around costume ideas and the girls kept coming back to dressing as princesses so I quickly made up my mind. In the dress up closet they went and out they came Barbie Cheerleader Princess and Rapunzel Bride. And the best part, they got to wear their costumes out of the house. They were thrilled and so was I.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last guests has left after our three week marathon of company. It was so fun and has made November fly by. The kids have loved having guests, going through everyones suitcase and the extra attention. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My college friend Caitlin came last weekend. She had technology, and Broadway show tunes on her iPad and pictures of wildlife on her phone so she was an instant hit with the kids.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Caitlin and I went to New Orleans for a night. Just the two of us. We had so much fun exploring the city.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went out at night and tried to re-live our college days but I just couldn't hang. I mean, I can't even remember the last time I drove at night let alone stay out past 10 pm. It felt so nice to reunite with society. People are kind and the Blues sound wonderful. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Caitlin kept showing me cute pictures on her high tech phone that she had captured of Jude and it was torture, like a dagger to the heart at with each reveal of another picture of his dimpled smile. My first night away from baby boy was rough. Jude had a tough night too but George held it down at the house.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though I had a blast with Caitlin, I couldn't wait to get on I-10 and drive west as fast as the law would allow. And I did just that, mostly because I missed everyone more than I could imagine but also because my breasts were about to explode. Guess Jude nurses more than I thought he did. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think I will wait another year or longer until I do that again. But it was good for me to be away, I get it. I now do the laundry and cook with more vigor. I am rejuvenated.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can you believe this is what I have to look at all day? Elsa is the most precious, tall, sweet and talkative girl lately. Most questions start with, "Why, Mommy? Why are you driving?" "Why are you eating?" "Why is Jude sleeping?" She is wonderful, life with this girl is such a joy.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lots going on in our normally overly routine life. First of all, we had a wonderful weekend being spoiled by Nana. Food, shopping, new books, laughs, it was great. And we are excited to welcome more company tomorrow. The kids are in heaven with all of these people around to wake up early.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Nana was here, we gave Jude his first haircut. It was nice to have a third person around. One person to hold him, one to cut, and one to take photos (obviously) and watch the girls. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know you all thought the tree hugger in me would just let his hair grow and be but, well, it was getting so long that I couldn't comb it in the 20 seconds he gives me and he was starting to look a bit on the wild side. So after much agonizing (me convincing George), we went for it.</span></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Warning: Some bathroom words have been used in the writing of this post so if you are easily offended or more mature than I, this might not be the post for you.</span></i><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My children are well into the middle of a major phase right now and I am just buying my time until it passes. The phase? Well, um, I think I would call it the poopoo phase? As in, they think saying the word <i>poopoo</i> is the funniest, most taboo thing in the entire universe. There is nothing funnier to them than screaming <i>poopoo!</i> at the top of their lungs. And they do it often. They take such joy saying it, laughing, then running to tell on one another, "Mom, Nyah said a bathroom word!" </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJC_IXxKfOmFhEqnA6cq63uXPiKJg7WVAIK3-asLErWUFVKrVqQxF-rmiZIv8sCId2WYZhc7DXazpVKPli3pdvOdbDO8jz2cFAzsho6dDflHXvWfCnBqAKooCEmwRraYbsWHxBd28IUGxv/s1600/DSC01681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJC_IXxKfOmFhEqnA6cq63uXPiKJg7WVAIK3-asLErWUFVKrVqQxF-rmiZIv8sCId2WYZhc7DXazpVKPli3pdvOdbDO8jz2cFAzsho6dDflHXvWfCnBqAKooCEmwRraYbsWHxBd28IUGxv/s640/DSC01681.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hear the word coming from the closet as they play together, hear them tell each other to say it, "Elsa, say <i>poopoo</i>," and hear it in the van as we travel. Because every song has the potential for bathroom word use.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are my <i>poopoo</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My only <i>poopoo</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You make me <i>poopoo</i> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When skies are<i> poopoo...</i></span><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Twinkle, twinkle little <i>poopoo</i>...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our son is a mad man. I am here typing this post with wet hair post the most eventful shower I have ever had the pleasure of taking. Jude has been way into carrying, stacking, putting away anything he can get his hands on. It's his passion at the moment. His mission. And he won't stop.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Today, while I was attempting to be a normal member of society and take a shower post workout, he was on a mission all his own. Elsa was taking her afternoon nap so I had a little window of time while I waited for Jude finally give up and sleep (yes, she sleeps more than him. Mad I tell ya). So this is typically my shower time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I closed the bathroom door, the closet door, the toilet door and dared to step in, giving him free reign of the bathroom. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I learned the toilet room door has to be closed the hard way, when I went in to use<i> it</i> one night and turned the light on to a teddy bear staring back at me from inside the toilet. Yep, he stuffed the toilet full of stuffed animals. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I called George and he disposed of Jude's victims but not before we both took a moment to just stare at the toilet and shake our heads. And all I could think of is how hard Jude must have worked and how many trips he had to make to accomplish fitting three medium sized stuffed animals in the toilet. This didn't happen under my watch, of course. The toilet lid was left open so all evidence points towards Dad. Hi, George!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
So I usually have no problem taking a shower with Jude in the room. I know he is safe, I have my eyes on him at all times and it gives him a change to continue his mission and carry objects from our drawers to the tub, over and over. It brings him much joy. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Well, today, mid-shower I did a spot check on him and caught him lugging an entire box of curlers to the tub. I probably had soap in my eyes or something and by the time I rinsed and jumped out soaking wet, he had dumped the curlers in the tub, with a thud, turned the water on and gave them a nice drench, all with the proudest little smile on his face. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I don't know what to do. Basically what I am trying to tell you is that my life is over. He now climbs onto the beds and jumps dangerously close to the edge, of course. He climbs onto the living room furniture and jumps. The chairs in our living room are currently with legs in the air to prevent him from climbing up and taking a major crash. But he sees the upside down chairs as a new climbing challenge to master. If I gave him the chance I know he could climb out of his crib. I'm exhausted but secretly loving watching this curious, wild, determined boy at work. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I realize someday that this will all make sense. Like when he picks his profession in life or his hobby or whatever, we will all be like, "Oh, yeah! We knew you would do this because you used to love to put strange objects in toilets when you were a baby." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I know I probably won't have the change to write again in a timely fashion (since my life is over) so here is a little bit of lately.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George took Ny went to the <i>El-lesh-you</i> game on Saturday. It was the highlight of her life. They tailgated before the game in an RV or as Nyah called it, a house that moves. They had great fun, she got to eat cotton candy but was tired by half time and was asleep before they arrived home.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the next day, it was like she and George had some secret pact or something. Like their bond was stronger. They had experience stuff together that I just wasn't a part of. She needed an extra kiss before bed last next night, and she headed straight for George to get it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not a food photographer or anything close but this snack is too good not to share, so I will give this a try.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Popcorn is absolutely our favorite family snack. Every member of our family loves it, including Jude, and we eat it. A lot.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right here, right now, I am going to share my super secret family recipe for popcorn with you. And it will no longer be a secret after this post but this is one of the few things my mother taught me to cook. And her dad taught her. So there you have, a family recipe. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There isn't much to this recipe, really, because popping corn isn't rocket science, but I wanted to share it with you because if you are still making the microwaveable bag stuff, well you just aren't living.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Popping corn</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vegetable oil (Vegetable oil or any oil with a high <a href="http://missvickie.com/howto/spices/oils.html" target="_blank">smoke point</a> is so important here. This oil is going to heat way up so use it, its science, yo.)</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xZM1PZdsU-rNF-Flzk0Z8yidN8mzfYz0Rtq79Kz1NylBspOF6yoMJNVow3x-uC4jYjO1DjRJzkTw7ot-WRmK9-woX7HRobhGtqxlBLnM7_GtVexQLS6-w5mIueVpPGNDXT_XaCoj9pLE/s1600/DSC01459.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xZM1PZdsU-rNF-Flzk0Z8yidN8mzfYz0Rtq79Kz1NylBspOF6yoMJNVow3x-uC4jYjO1DjRJzkTw7ot-WRmK9-woX7HRobhGtqxlBLnM7_GtVexQLS6-w5mIueVpPGNDXT_XaCoj9pLE/s640/DSC01459.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, coat bottom of big stock pot with vegetable oil -1/4 Cup, maybe? Depends on pot size. Sorry, no exact amounts here.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And now here comes the family secret part. Place one or two kernels of corn in the oil. Turn heat up to high and wait for those two little kernels to pop. There is no reason behind this step. Just do. Because my mom said so.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSp4pFTHlgDZUcG7WN7vkDpvfkR50uYR5-bXw_2cqTJSVyeTDb2O8iMJt3VB9b-QlR30s2Jvt1JhyKSVwV0ntrocXZHN_IEOMEsBP6MewlZNNCI4Fn70zXQXafmphL8F2FJsxWw7JkxZ5o/s1600/DSC01469.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSp4pFTHlgDZUcG7WN7vkDpvfkR50uYR5-bXw_2cqTJSVyeTDb2O8iMJt3VB9b-QlR30s2Jvt1JhyKSVwV0ntrocXZHN_IEOMEsBP6MewlZNNCI4Fn70zXQXafmphL8F2FJsxWw7JkxZ5o/s640/DSC01469.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the two kernels have popped up, add enough kernels to already popped kernels and oil to, once again, cover the bottom of the pot. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMLEB-szizB6DmYIRMKOQciQ1rcjVt-9k3RCnI_4lq5pgTkA2Xp0b1knn8vNLtuZkwLZA-90r7IZTlwI4DaKkVwlrc5HnHJsepOBspmGq99osXr3VWDVS7oQgWNhMZkXTX3MaWZ87swhx/s1600/DSC01470.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMLEB-szizB6DmYIRMKOQciQ1rcjVt-9k3RCnI_4lq5pgTkA2Xp0b1knn8vNLtuZkwLZA-90r7IZTlwI4DaKkVwlrc5HnHJsepOBspmGq99osXr3VWDVS7oQgWNhMZkXTX3MaWZ87swhx/s640/DSC01470.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, put the lid on and listen to the pop and inhale the delicious smell. So good.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMLEB-szizB6DmYIRMKOQciQ1rcjVt-9k3RCnI_4lq5pgTkA2Xp0b1knn8vNLtuZkwLZA-90r7IZTlwI4DaKkVwlrc5HnHJsepOBspmGq99osXr3VWDVS7oQgWNhMZkXTX3MaWZ87swhx/s1600/DSC01470.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once the popping slows down, turn the heat off. Leave on burner a few more second until popping is to a minimum and then pour into large bowl.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now the fun part, <a href="http://tipnut.com/quick-tip-10-popcorn-seasoning-ideas/" target="_blank">the toppings</a>. The possibilities are endless. We drizzle ours with a little extra virgin olive oil, add some salt and enjoy. Best served with good movie and hungry kids, or course.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to send a snack for Nyah's class later this month and you better believe I will be popping up a big batch of this for those little sweeties. Cheap, tasty, healthy, and easy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you give it a try.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Side note:</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>(Yes, I love popcorn so much that I have I have to include a side note.)</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I once had the best popcorn bowl ever, given to me by my old college roommate/cousin/bff Jami, but we lost it in our move to LA and I am sick about it, still. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>We gave my bother and sis in law a wooden bowl for a wedding gift and they turned it into their popcorn bowl! Definitely one of my prouder moments in life.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok, I'm done. Have a great weekend.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See me, heart melted, a I heap on the ground waiting for my turn, and I am done. Forced to resign to a day of play and hugs and cuddling and fun. Laundry siting in the laundry room waiting to be folded. The same pile that took me two days to get from washer to dryer to basket. Two days! A dishwasher waiting to be emptied, toys begging to be picked up and all I do is nothing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My motivation for domestic goddess status living in the dumps. My motivation to just be with the kids to go and do what the day brings winning on the days George has class, winning without a doubt. My pride coming from successfully transporting, dressing, cooking, feeding, bathing, all three without tears or tantrums or injuries. And I even exercised! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then the end of the day comes, kids to bed, and I could accomplish so much but I don't. I relax instead and read or indulge in reality T.V. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the time George returns home around 10:00pm and walks through the door he walked out of around 6:30am, the guilt starts set in and I am convinced that I totally suck. How could I have accomplished so little today when he just worked so hard? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took the sweetest nap, with Elsa, while he was stressing a midterm during the business of a work day, how could I? I feel like I am cheating on him with laziness and it feels horrible. I mean, he just had to move one of the kids books out of the way to sit by me on the couch. The horror.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But he is the absolute best ever and always brings me back. Reminds me that the kids are the priority and I must enjoy my time with them. Their happiness is all that matters. And then we dissect each others days, his filled with stories of challenges I can't comprehend, his brained zapped from working numbers and I share stories of the kids-what they said, advances they made. And then we give in and go to bed, asleep before we can say goodnight.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here I sit. A new morning, a fresh cup of coffee, and more lofty goals in my mind. But Jude is headed my way and by the look in his eye I can tell he needs to be held. So we will probably head to the couch and snuggle. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then what? Who knows? But what I do know is that I will try to keep the guilt to a minimum, but then again, what kind of mother would I be without a little guilt. I try to rise above and not subject myself to it but unfortunately, I am not immune. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe I will fold that load of laundry and even put it away, just in time to start another. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But for now, cheers, here's to you and what ever you work hard doing. Here's to a new day. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this shirt on our girls, it has to be one of my favs. I know it's just a shirt but this ol' thing lived a long life in Nyah's closet and now has a secure spot in Elsa's, courtesy of Aunt Ali.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi. I am a slacker, I know. It's been awhile. What have I been doing you ask? I don't know, I really don't know. But sitting down and editing photos and writing doesn't seem to be fitting into that schedule and truly, I miss it. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here I am with a family update. Nothing special, just trying to catch up and then I am going to make a better effort to take time out for me to write our life down because I need to have something for me, right? And this blog is my thing, my creative outlet, something to do for myself. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, first thing is first. We survived Isaac. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And looking back, our 24 hours without power was really wonderful. We had the windows open, the breeze was cool, the kids played and played and played and we ate and played and watched the storm. We were headed out in the morning to try to find some ice for our food when the power came back. Perfect.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George and I caught up on some checkers and cards and he was reminded of just how competitive I am (bad trait, bad). Everyone slept wonderful without power and overall it was just peaceful, minus the deep hum of allllll of the neighbors' generators. We spotted someone across the lake with candles lit but other than that we might be the only generator-less family in the hood. And that is all right with me. </span></div>

His new favorite hang outs are on Elsa's bed, in one of our empty cabinets (because this house is a hoarders paradise, storage galore over here), on top of anything he can climb on, in the mix of whatever his sisters are doing, or anywhere someone has food. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This kid will eat anything as long as you are eating it but the moment you set him in his high chair and feed it to him with a spoon or cut it up nicely for him, its over. He might take two to three bits and he's done. So he grazes and thats okay with us. <a href="http://wegrowhere.blogspot.com/2010/11/puppy-love.html" target="_blank">Remember when Elsa did the same</a>?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other major happenings, Nyah and Elsa are now taking showers. Not a big deal, I know but up until this point all three of them have been taking a bath, together. And yeah, they don't fit, and Nyah is old so in the shower they went and it is so much easier, and quicker, and Elsa especially loves the shower. She giggles the entire time. Why didn't we make the switch sooner?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nyah still wakes up excited for school every morning, though has started taking her lunch. Beefy taco melt just wasn't her thing and I can't really blame her. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally broke down and emailed her teacher, just to check in on how she is doing. I am so proud of myself for waiting so long. Kindergarten is so impersonal. Nyah gets out of the car in the morning and gets back in the afternoon and what goes on in between is a mystery. From what I can gather, they play and read stories and thats about it. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I do myself!" is her favorite phrase lately. And she does do it herself. Cleaning, dressing herself and changing outfits five times a day, cooking, dragging a chair across the house to reach her light switch. Just watch out, she has it under control.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look who decided to get up and start walking this week. We are so proud of our guy and the progress he makes daily.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kLW7lbWh3WA" width="560"></iframe>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would have loved to post a video of his actual first steps but those happened Wednesday after I forced him to walk. Well kind of. I stood him about one inch in front of me and sweet talked him into my arms and then covered him in kisses. I guess he was into it because the next try he took two steps and by the end of the day he was taking 5-6 steps and by last night, well, he was walking across the room.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I guess he was a better walker than even he thought. But I am finding out he is absolutely not the type to just go for it and take rough falls that come with learning something new. Cautious this one. He waited to walk until he was ready and even now he doesn't fall, he simply opts to squat to a seated position prior to the major wipe out. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wonder how long this cautious approach to life will last? Into his teen years maybe? And then some? I really wouldn't have a problem with skipping a few of those broken bones, stitches and emergency room visits I've learned come with the boy territory.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there you have it. All of our kids can walk. Check it off the list. On to the next milestone.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what a kindergartner looks like.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She's anticipated this day for quite some time and was so excited when the morning finally arrived, probably mostly to finally be able to wear her uniform, but excited none the less.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And though I thought I was ready, the truth came out the night before, like I was the one about to walk into a huge school and start my life of learning. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has been in "school" since she was two and a half. I should be an old pro at this, right? But no. It's so different. She has always attended small, sweet schools where I could look her teacher in the eye and chat about my child everyday at drop off and pick up. Schools where the teachers would tell Ny they love her on a daily basis, and kiss her, and hug her. Schools where she was free to be a kid. And now, my sweet baby being one of almost 800 other kids. I flipped, my mind filled with what-ifs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And she wanted to ride the bus. But, after drop off the first day, I realized that her school is a loving place. She walked in like a superstar, meeting up with all the neighborhood kids as they exited the bus. And I got to say hey to the teacher and watch her settle in, though she just wanted me to go, thank goodness.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am <i>that</i> parent and can't help it, not one bit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the highlight of her day? Throwing the food she didn't eat at lunch away, like in the garbage. No left overs at school. And showing her teacher that she could tie her shoe. Thats all I got out of her because in true kindergartner style, all of my questions about her day were met with, "I don't know". </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nan gave Ny 50 one dollar bills for her birthday and took her shopping to buy whatever she wanted, something Nyah has never done. After picking a few things and then putting them back, realizing how much things costs, Ny finally decided to spend all her money on one Cinderella dress. I was proud of her and think she got a better grasp of money and paying for things.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made a quick stop at the beach after breakfast one day to see the water and check out my cousin and her husband's water sport business, you can find them on Ft.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was so wonderful to be on the beach again. Nyah and Elsa picked up right where they left off.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The older our three get the more apart they seem to grow in terms of vices, nuances, interests, personalities, dislikes, and the list goes on. Elsa likes peanut butter on her sandwich, cut into squares. Nyah prefers just jelly, no peanut butter, open faced. Nyah dislikes ketchup, and Jude just wants a bite. Ny wants anything sweet while Elsa pefers meat, especially if George is eating it. But wow, do they ever have fun together.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jude has started joining the girls as they are off playing whatever they play in their rooms for hours on end. He sneaks in their room and I leave him for a minute or so and then it usually time to rescue him from whatever they are forcing him to do. Here he is making his escape after they attempted to dress him up.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While we know Elsa loves nothing more than softly caressing her dirty blankey under her nose to soothe herself, Jude's new object of comfort just happens to be what ever is down my shirt. And it's not just me. When he's really tired and ready to get cozy his arm starts heading down George's shirt too. I just happen to have a little more going on down there so it can be a bit akward when we are out in public and Jude decides to get comfortable. But whatever. Nothing seems to surprise me these days. We are really getting a laugh out of this though. I am sure he will never be able to live this one down.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nyah's life revolves around tasks these days, like drawing stars, letters, or houses, or making "soup" in the sink. And of course, dressing herself is still her main passion. While I was getting dressed the other day she took me into my closet and was trying to persuade me to wear some dress I have in my closet that I haven't worn for years. But thats just the way I want it. I am sure she will be dressing me or trying to make me look the way she wants for years to come and I look forward to it. She really has her eye on my wedding dress, as you can imagine.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And oh Elsa. The joy of our days is still our comedian, singing and dancing at any chance. She has been sneaking into our bed in the early morning hours more than not lately. We are just too tired to return her to her normal sleeping spot. Some mornings I wake up and am so thankful for a king sized bed, it can get pretty tight in there. She is so in tuned to all the happenings and feelings of all of us in the house. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My grandma (Nan) is coming into town this week and we will take <a href="http://wegrowhere.blogspot.com/2012/03/our-vanity.html" target="_blank">Vanity</a> south (to Florida) to visit more family. The girls are totally pumped up about another road trip and so am I. I guess enough time has passed since our last <a href="http://wegrowhere.blogspot.com/2012/04/road-trip.html" target="_blank">mad dash to Indiana</a>, so the idea of a road trip with the kids (without George) is all rainbows and glitter in my mind right now. And yep, I think I will leave my computer at home. An old fashioned vacation with my littlest loves sounds perfect to me.</span></div>
