dejavu
Tonight I prepared Abigail's bag for competition. Her first competition ever. My mom bought Abbie the BEST duffel bag ever, called the dream duffel, and it is extremely helpful in keeping things organized. I printed out her packing list and put it in a plastic paper protector- got a dry erase marker and checked off her packing list. It was so weird to do it all over again. It feels like not too long ago I was doing this for myself!!! Well, those days are over. It's Abigail's time to shine- and boy is she gonna shine bright!
I can't wait for her first competition!!! Yay!!! She's so excited.

Pas de cheval
Do you know what that is? My 6 year old does. Booyah.
Her ballet teachers rock. So does Abigail. She's so good. I'm holding back from becoming psycho.

Stocked eye fly
Per Abbie: "the stocked eye fly lives in Malaysia, in southeast Asia. It's eyes POP out when he sucks in air balls. That's why its called the stocked eye fly."

Flying fish
Did you know that flying fish only fly when they sense danger? I just learned this from Jude. So, according to Jude, obviously we could have a flying fish as a pet as long as we don't put predators in it's bowl.

Family Fun Fridays
Last Friday, I tried to post a picture every hour of what our day looked like. I realized I chose a Friday to do that, which happens to be the funnest day of our week. So, it's a bit deceiving. The other 6 days of the week look more like this:
Yep. That's a blank picture.
But, part of the purpose of this blog is to publish memories. And Family Fun Fridays are definitely a memory I'll want to remember. So, I am going to try to do the hourly picture post every Friday, so you can catch up on all the adventure. So I'll post our first picture next!

Micah and his room
Getting Micah to clean is... a challenge.
Today after >5 minutes of cleaning his room, he comes into the office, where I am blogging about Jude and lays his head on my lap and says
"Mommy, I'm esauxted..."
how do I not just kiss him all over?

Jude's fashion tip
After asking the kids to get dressed, out comes Jude and I hear him ask "Mommy, do I look handsome?" I look over at him to see him with khaki pants, and a navy blue zip up sweat shirt unzipped- with no shirt underneath.
I responded "Jude, you're always handsome!"
His response: "yeah, but when I wear this, the girls will all look at me and say 'Oh, look at that guy, he's so handsome'"
WHERE DOES HE GET THAT FROM??? We don't have TV, so don't say it's from the media...

First cry
Tonight I put on popeye for the kids to watch. The popeye with robin Williams. When I put it on, Abbie asked if I used to watch it when I was a little girl. I replied yes. And she said "oh, ok, so its reeeeally old." Hmmm.
Then, about half way though, she looks at me with tears in her eyes and says "i think this movie is too sweet!" And throws her head in her lap, bawling.
Abigail has watched Sooooo many sad movies and she's NEVER cried. Some serious tear jerkers. Leave it to robin Williams...
It was the sweetest thing ever.
Reminds me a little of how after watching bambi with no tears, I lost it while watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Like mother like daughter...

Game Night
Tonight we played pictionary. I'm so proud of my kids. They practiced patience and we had a really good time. AND, Micah actually drew something this time! Usually all he can draw is a sun. And he tries to draw other things but they're crazy. You really can't make any of it out. BUT tonight, he drew his very first stick man. He said it was a crazy person. haha. Look at it!!
Then there's perfectionist Abigail. Her drawings are not missing any details. Here are her drawings:

Pablo from the backyardigans
the birth of baby Jesus. She's precious.
Then Jude went. Jude. hmmm... well. I think he may not have gotten the artistic abilities that the others have. This is his "sword".
......................? a sword. somewhere in there. Boy I love him!
To finish it off, Micah drew another picture. This was precious. It's Mommy playing a guitar in a tornado storm. I love it.

Clean House
So Adam has been gone for over a week now. I miss him like crazy. I hate when he's gone just at work for a day, so this is terrible. BUT the positive is that I am getting my house clean. I like to over-achieve when he's away so he'll be really impressed when he gets back. My master bedroom and bathroom are spotless. My living room is so pretty. My kitchen is shiny. Today and tomorrow I'm working on the entryway, dining room, and school room. All my laundry is totally caught up. Not just clean, but PUT AWAY!!!! This is major for me.
I'm going off a few helpful tips from a very helpful website. FLYlady is a little cheesy, but super helpful. Check it out if you want help organizing your household chores. I am not following it exactly, but following the general idea. Tips like: a load a day keeps the chaos away (with laundry), run the dishwasher before bed, unload in the morning, and focus on one area (zone) at a time. So far, it's really making a difference!
I'm so excited to finally feel like my house isn't overwhelming me!!! yea!
