My Faves

Dad's Birthday

Here is everybody waiting for him to blow out his candles.
I LOVE how Zeus is watching too!


Madee is INTO making you a cake or pie or whatever you want for your birthday. She picked this one out, helped me make it and decorated it all by herself.

Literally, in this picture, Eden said, "Daddy I need a spoon."


I think Madee has her "ohnoyouditten" face on for fear of it being gobbled up in one munch.


I think everybody here has wishes on their faces. And at least 2 of those wishes include being left alone with this pie.

First Day of School!

Madee has been DYING to go to school for over a year now, and I started looking for something for her - something PERFECT for her - so it could go as smoothly as possible.

As I called around town, I got a lot of disappointment as preschool directors told me she would be learning her ABC's and colors.

Pshshhht. Eden is already a veteran of those things. Madee would be bored with that sort of agenda.

I wanted Montessori, yet not strictly Montessori. Some place where I knew she would be paid lots of attention, and pulled into a direction based on her own development/capacity/potential.

Some place where she was just as special as she is here at home.

I got a playground "head's up" about a brand new preschool (beachside, even) with a great staff, curriculum, and philosophy.

It was a perfect fit.
I signed her up right away, and we haven't looked back.

And here is my sweet first baby girl, slumming in her backpack and lunchbox like she was born to do this. And, oh my, is she.


Of course Eden thought she was going too.

2 days a week, for 3.5 hours, and it isn't enough for her, oh no.

I know some kids fret about being left at school or away from their parents, but not mu kid. She wonders WHY these kids would ever be crying. Then walks right up and invites them to play with her like a pro.

She wishes it was boarding school.
She has completed 4 days already, and her "pretend play" is increasing exponentially. Also she is teaching us everything she learns at school.

She loves it.
They love her.
Perfect fit for sure...

The Girls

Due to some technical difficulties, last week was a little heinous, but here we are.
The girls and I went to a garage sale last week, and before we left the house they got into my "hair bob and baby jewelry" bin and went wild accessorizing themselves.

Madee has a bra strap on as a necklace.
She is pretty much brilliant when it comes to style.


And Eden? Oh, you, pretty little Eden "bwashing" your "hay-oo" in your "DOWA DWESS!"

They seriously left the house like that, only also with purses.
And I had to walk around resuscitating everyone who laid eyes on them, because their cuteness was so overwhelming that everybody was DYING from it.

Like, they are literally, too freaking cute.

And who is everybody's favorite fur baby?
Ono!
Ono says "Hi GRAMMEE! (save me!)"


We have hurricane rumors flying around here, so we will be preparing for what we can before the storm hits. (if it does). We will keep in touch, but we have lots to do!

Lots of love!
