Love Your Style / Fancy by Studio Rosey Posey

My dear girl, I think I am in trouble. You are about to turn 4 and I already see the signs of a fashionista. It seems like just yesterday you were running around in diapers, but look at you now! You love to wear pretty dresses and fancy shoes. Here, I caught you raiding my closet. You picked out my silver high heel shoes, put on your favorite bright red Minnie Mouse dress and paraded around like a queen. I got to admit that you looked really cute.

Lucky me / Lucky Me by Rosey Posey


The little frogs are just too cute! Well, actually, it is just one frog, but I copied it, then reduced its size and recolored it a little different so it wouldn't be identical to the other...2 frogs in love. :) It is the season for frogs, turtles, birds, earthworms, etc.

Beautiful Almost Spring Days / Refresh


Now that spring is nearing, the days are starting to get warmer. In order to motivate myself, I take the kids to the park often. This was our first trip back to Long Bridge Park since the renovations. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we all enjoyed the day.

The papers consist of a fun array of bright blues, yellows, greens and oranges, with lovely textures and detailed patterns, splats, squiggles, swirls and dots. The alpha is perfect for all of your fun layouts. I know I will be using this kit again soon!
When the kids were younger, we always used to go to the lake during summer time, spawning season to be exact, to watch the bullfrogs hop around. Even prissy Kaylie would delight in chasing the frogs, and even went as far as grabbing a few herself.

The End of Innocence
My kids aren't little anymore. :(
Every day I tell Liam that when he goes to school the fairies come in and clean up his room. This is my way of telling him that when he is away, I clean up his room. Why, do you ask, I tell him that the fairies did it? Simple. I tell him this so he realizes that we don't have a maid or fairies that do our work...we all have to pick up after ourselves.
But I digress, while I was telling him that the fairies had cleaned his room, he was busy telling me that he knows that there aren't real fairies - or as he puts it - they don't exist. So I asked him, what about the tooth fairy that brings you money when you loose your teeth? He laughs and tells me that that she isn't real - it is me leaving him money. He also went on to tell me that the Easter bunny isn't real and doesn't leave chocolate eggs. Every year, I have DH take the kids out for a walk around the block, while I go out and hide the eggs. I guess I don't have to use that excuse anymore. Oh, and lastly, Santa isn't real! So I guess Santa isn't sending him video messages or bringing him presents this year. Sigh. Darn kids are just too smart nowadays. They are too busy growing up and shedding their innocence in the process. There aren't magical fairies to wonder about anymore...what can they look forward to now? Oh well, I knew it was going to happen, but still...
Last week we had parent-teacher conferences for 3 days.
-Kaylie is coming along nicely in school and enjoy it. She still needs to improve her reading skills and spelling, but she has shown improvements.
-Liam is doing extremely well academically, but his behaviour sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. He grows bored of his school work, calls out answers, and doesn't complete his work because it is "too easy." He thinks he knows everything...
Last week I took them both to a pediatric optometrist for a yearly checkup. Kaylie had been complaining that she can't see the blackboard well. Liam wasn't complainining, nor shows problems, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. Anyway, Kaylie is farsighted and will need a mild prescription. We picked out her glasses, which should be ready sometime next week. Liam appears to be a little farsighted, as well, but there's isn't a need for glasses yet.
I can tell that Spring is around the corner. The crazy weather we are having with cold and warm days is driving me crazy and am sick. I have a horrible cold and am congested. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the itching. I think my allergy is emerging.
Oh well, I see the doctor tomorrow so at least I can look forward to getting some type of relief. In the meantime, I just can' sleep. 7647
