Happy 5th Missy!

Happy Birthday Girlie! Wow, she is already FIVE. Holy crapola... she's going to be in Kindergarten next year!

Missy is my sweet cuddle-bug and boy can she pull faces. I have to admit it was with some trepidation that I found out I was having a daughter, but you know what? I wouldn't trade her for the WORLD!

End of School Program...

or as I see it "Our bribe to get you to vote FOR the bond", because, lets face it... elections were yesterday too.

That being said, Goober was so cute! He was so excited to see me, Missy, Turbo, Grandma J, AND Grandpa J there. You really should have seen his smile and how excitedly he waved. What a cutie!

PS Turbo was really pissed that Goober couldn't "Come wif us!". I had to put him down for a short nap as soon as we got home.

Dead People

This morning I prodded Missy out of bed so that I could run over to Jer's aunts office.

You see, I recently realized that Turbo's name is spelled wrong on his Birth Certificate and on his SS card.  Ahhh! Glad I caught that before Kindergarten! Well, the misspelling changes his name into something horrid... The poor kid could be scarred by a misspelling like that. Lame! So now I have to get it all fixed... which includes having to sign an affidavit and getting it notarized. Wooooo! funfun. Well. Jer's aunt can notarize it... so off we went.

On our way home as we listened to the radio I thought I heard Missy say something.

Something like: "Dead people."

"What did you say sweetie?"

"I saw dead people!"

(anyone else getting The 6th Sense vibes?)

....

"OH!  You mean the CEMETARY!" :)

Goober's View

 This is a painting Goober brought home today... it's of "Dad and Me in front of Qwerty's house with a bonfire!".

  Qwerty is Goobers cousin who just turned thirteen a few days ago. Goober adores him. I'm sure this is of our trip last year when we went to visit my sister and celebrate her graduating from college.

  There were lots of people and great kids (most Qwerty and Miss Thangs ages) who treated my kids really well, I was very impressed with all of them and how they didn't make any of my kids feel as though they were a pain in any way.

  Anyways, apparently this memory has stuck with Goober :) He asks often about when is the next time we are going to go to "Qwerty and Miss Thang's house" and I know he truly adores both of them!

Goldilocks No More?

 

 Today we cut the kids hair. Usually when we cut the boys hair Missy doesn't want anything to do with it. She is pretty proud of that blonde stuff on her noggin. 

Well, today was different. She wanted hers cut too.... 

So we did. First ever REAL haircut.

She seems pretty happy with it! She doesn't have to worry about it falling into her food or getting caught on things as much, but then again, I can't do some of the fun things I've done with it in the past either... I will have to experiment some :)

Sorry, been a little busy!

Recently I left me house to go shopping and saw sights like this:

Around my neighborhood.

Ya, not fun. I'm glad it's not on my property, but I don't want to wait until that happens to start doing something about it! So I've been trying to organize a Neighborhood Watch to get rid of this crap or at least to be able to keep this kind of stuff from escalating!

Needless to say there is a bit of organization involved... have to get an officer to the meeting, have to find a place for the meeting, have to find someone to translate fliers (because there are non-English speakers in the neighborhood)... etc etc.

Looks like the soonest I can get the meeting going is in June. Hope things don't get to bad before then!

Wait a minute....

This Monday I woke up and thought "It sure feels like it was just Monday a couple of days ago. Sigh."

What is it with getting older that makes the time fly so fast? Is it just that I'm getting older or is it that I have so much more to do?

If it's just that I'm getting older.... well, lets just say that if I ever turn 80 I may end up blinking and having a whole month fly by!
