FALL and 4 1/2

Yes it has been awhile since I posted (wow once u slow down on blogging you really slow down on blogging - lol).  Well here is a quick update.  It is Fall and our love has turned 4 1/2!  WOW!

lucky, silly doctor and socks

I know how rare it is, I know how lucky I am...............She sleeps late in the morning and than reads books and plays with her animals in her room for a while after waking up.  She loves to be a doctor and this is what I found this morning:

She said MAMA look at all Tiggers castasses (yes that is how she says it .....cast asses - LOL).  He is my son I adopted him and I am his doctor too and he needed bandages so I gave him lots of castasses.
She found an interesting use for those lonely mismatched socks ;)

fish

fish is well..............still a fish.

She likes me to sit at the tippy top of the stands and she is rarely above water so the shots are not that great but you can feel the love of swim this fish has ;)

October 2012

Rare photo (as she almost never falls asleep in the car)

Car Lovie Monkey and Bed Lovie Monkey got to join our family for some annual fall fun.  I took 92 pictures of our special day but wooo cannot post all those so here are just 4 to highlight our day/night.  We had a blast!  Daddy and I both were not on board with bringing both Lovie Monkeys with the fear of losing our only 2 we have but we did good checking 80 times a day/night to be sure we had them both.  I would say both Lovie Monkey and our sweet precious girl and her blessed Mommy and Daddy had a great time celebrating Monkeys birthday.  Until next year ;) 

Special Birthday

Laney asked me several times if today we could celebrate her Lovie Monkeys birthday.  Several days I said lets do something special on that day so we planned and picked a special day.  She woke to this (car Lovie monkey on the table since Bed Lovie Monkey was sleeping with her):

The day got even better........................stay tuned.....

buddies

Maui and Laney being buddies (just before this Laney was the doctor and patient so the boo boo is fake on her leg)  :)

Great

All is going well just blogging less but wanted to say Pre K rocks and we all are doing GREAT!

1st offical day of Pre K

I will spare you the tons and tons of pictures I took, I will spare you the sobbing details of how I felt.  I will just show you a few pictures and tell you she thinks Pre K is in her words ...F A N T A S T I C! I journalled 3 pages about her 1st day and I look forward to looking back on that years from now (oh and Daddy took a photo of me tears rolling down my cheeks, eyes all bloodshot from crying, pouty lip and all in the hall walking out of her school - omg)

visit day (AKA Mama stay day)

We both loved visit day (AKA Mama stay day) September 2012

Parents Night at Pre K

I cannot begin to write all the feelings I have about being a parent of a child of school age. I saved all that journaling for a book I have for her.  Sweetly I heard some wanted to see pictures.  So without all the words here is a picture from just before Parents Night at school  - September 2012

skip Aug part 2 and part 3

My plan was to do an August part 2 and an August part 3 blog post but honestly that recent blog close or blog less post is really still an idea so I decided for now to skip those 2 posts.  I journaled 3 important days last week and oh I loved it! Just back to the old fashion pen and paper where someday my daughter can see my handwriting and read what was going on and how I felt.  I plan to do that more for sure!  I also hope to focus on a few other important things so blog less it will be.  Blog close....................not yet anyways.  BUT some people were so sweet to say they will miss the blog if we close etc.  SWEET!!!!
OK so I am going to work this weekend on the big September news..............................OH MY GOODNESS my baby is in Pre K!!!  How did that happen???  post/pictures of that soon.

blog changes - maybe?

Well September 1st is here and I still have not posted July pictures.  Hmmm so new month makes me think again about something I have been tossing around in my head?  To blog or not to blog?  Maybe just blog less? Lots to think about but something I have been thinking about for awhile now.  I often say I want to journal more so maybe I should take more to pen and paper and less to blog?  I often say I want to scrapbook more so maybe I should get on that? I often say the worldwide web and my life out there does make me nervous so maybe I should close shop?  I often say I want to be on the computer less so I really should stop blogging! Well no decisions yet just tossing it out......I will sleep on it and see...............but blog changes - maybe?
