super de duper

my kids, well, they are just super de duper...
and honestly, the whole fam, well, we are just ourselves.
we are "those people" oh so often.  see, that's really sofie's tongue on the back door
{{and dried food on her head too...yuck}}
i totally wonder where she gets that weirdness...hmmmm

i let b and jk them dress themselves to play in the snow...this is what they did.  snow.  did i mention snow?  it was cold. but the mini skirt was def the right choice with those legs!

sometimes "cute" is what gets us by...

sometimes the tears...

one thing i know for sure, we may be weird, but we are us...and that.  that is a good thing.

Weird is the only way to go! Your girls are gorgeous.
We're weird too! But your family is also so sweet. I love the mini skirt in the snow, reminds me of my 11 y/o Julia. Fashion over function! I also like the last one-- absolutely precious.

weird people = great people. Your family is great.

Hehehe quirky is our byword- I have 4 girls as well- they are older than yours and blogging with me now. I think it is being ourselves and letting out the inner dork and having fun that keeps us close.
Christy said…
My windows have tongue marks and fingerprints all over them, too. HA! HA! The pictures of your girls are beautiful.

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
