Silly Mama

Well I just have to share this in case you didn't know but....
After an animated discussion on how to set up our game of "Cootie" (yes, there is a right and wrong way according to Miss K) Kylie puts her head down and shakes it and says "Oy Mama you really need help"
Bahahahaha....See she really is 4 1/2 going on 21. Preschool here she comes!

Tagged!

Hey there! I've been tagged (by my blog friend Kim...thanks) and she asked me to describe how I feel RIGHT NOW in 5 words...so here goes.

1.Tired....I just started riding my exercise bike AGAIN. I ride thru one episode of "6 Feet Under". I loved this show and bought the whole series a year or so ago. So it's good motivation. But my legs feel like jello...they're all 60 minutes long.

2.Blessed....I have such a loving family. Because of my dear hubby Mark and precious daughter Kylie who make me smile. Oh and lest I not mention extended family too. Love you all!

3.Happy....so far so good! We're having a GREAT summer at my store. Let's hope the tourist continue to flock and spend ALL their hard earned money with us!

4. Hungry...Mark and I are in a funk and NOTHING sounds good to eat. Sounds like popcorn and vitamins again (sorry Nana!)

5.Excited....Mark and I are going to Las Vegas ALONE (not till November). Our loving Nana (and Poppa too) has offered to watch Kylie for the weekend. And I'm going down a day earlier to VEG! And Mark is driving down and playing as he goes. Should be fuuuuun!

Now to tag some 5 other folks so you can play along. I'm behind on this so if you've already done it SORRY! I don't read too many blogs so you're the LUCKY ones whether you like it or not :-)

1. Lisa is from my December 2003DTC group. She is momma to Cameron (homegrown) and Miss Grace from China.
2. Michelle is Lisa's sis. And she is waiting and waiting and waiting to meet her Sophie in China.
3. Dusty is a friend who adopted from China (Miss Mary Joyce) after us and runs a WONDERFUL website for adopting families. Which I read EVERY DAY! Adoption Voyages. And of course momma to homegrown Miss Katherine.
4. Dana momma to Miss Shealin who also adopted thru our agency and who we get to meet in December YAHOO! I know I know you "thought" you had tagged me but I was already behind in getting tagged from Kim. Sorry ;-)
5.Ruth lives in new Zealand and JUST got home a week ago with her 2nd daughter from China Miss Alice. She is also momma to Mr. Aiden and Miss Emily who was born in China.

So there you have it....again sorry if I did it to you again but you're all I've got :-) At least you know I was thinking of you :-) hugs from sunny beautiful Montana!

4th of July fun

Cousin Brooklynn (4) and Miss K (4 1/2) they had waaaaay too much fun this weekend!
Like the words to the song say..."Two little monkies jumping on the bed..."

Do you think "it's" working?


So picture this.... I'm brushing my teeth a few moments ago and in rushes Kylie (who was watching Spongebob) or so I thought.
"Momma momma if you have fruit or vegetables that might go bad there are these green bags that will help them last. Oh and they're ONLY $19.95. I think we need to get some."

Oh my heck do you think the advertisers are getting to our kids? She told me about a toy she saw this morning on tv ".....and if it's too much money Momma for you maybe I can ask Santa to get it for me"? If she only knew ;-)
