That is fitting because I have been too busy to really keep up lately. That plus something is wrong with the modem and I lose internet at least once a day and it is a pain to reset. I check email, facebook occassionally and move on. But now that 2 out of 3 kids will be gone at least part of the time (insert halleujah chorus here), maybe I will at least update my blog. Time has flown by this summer. Sadly we did not do many of the things we had on our list. My motto has become, sometimes less is more. We did take several trips this summer, none of which I blogged about. We went to Dallas for a few days and did lots of fun things like the aquarium, Rainforest Cafe, and Magic Time Machine. We traveled to St Louis to visit Ayric's family and did lots of fun things there. We went to Sci Port and the Boardwalk in Shreveport. So I guess when we weren't traveling I really didn't feel like dragging 3 kids to the movies or bowling in the HEAT, so we hung out around here and mostly relaxed. I think it was a good summer overall although as with all moms, we all feel like we could be doing more. I am ready for school to start just to have a good routine again. But once school gets going we are heading to the beach for Labor Day. </div></div></div></div><br /></div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-74803614406910832612009-06-12T11:24:00.000-07:002009-06-12T12:49:15.871-07:00Summer is Here-<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMjwZyDm7jGFrYPvxEVMnw2JLhMZBW0Xc2RUUwgCiGBZ_rQjNlyqkrS8JI_TeGewIMl4glnckC_MSXwp-7tb-Vx3kj72pytTyDE8PAvNyVT_CJ9KU5NIvEAzV8KiesXy0R6XRYCofLjI4/s1600-h/IMGP5657.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346530096627725762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMjwZyDm7jGFrYPvxEVMnw2JLhMZBW0Xc2RUUwgCiGBZ_rQjNlyqkrS8JI_TeGewIMl4glnckC_MSXwp-7tb-Vx3kj72pytTyDE8PAvNyVT_CJ9KU5NIvEAzV8KiesXy0R6XRYCofLjI4/s400/IMGP5657.JPG" border="0" /></a> Blaire at Story time<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguQrF8yWo6KjiSosX3gWZqlOlpkTBOaiqU-bCGChLsJ0-1qfKRXlegTxLLUkidFLYHL9WehaskBo7ZkvoR7pX5K9HEbTsm_9HhKxjvbE4pr9KCXDWLVEyH8vvRUpIwrwwy5CFk1FdE3N4/s1600-h/IMGP5590.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346512893980141186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguQrF8yWo6KjiSosX3gWZqlOlpkTBOaiqU-bCGChLsJ0-1qfKRXlegTxLLUkidFLYHL9WehaskBo7ZkvoR7pX5K9HEbTsm_9HhKxjvbE4pr9KCXDWLVEyH8vvRUpIwrwwy5CFk1FdE3N4/s400/IMGP5590.JPG" border="0" /></a> Brooke- Kindergarten Graduation<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ra-NzCODm-gXGrQWXPXTbehJtcNJFbrodWMF5qDAJIyWSiobUz82S9qj7VHnKDXtNQUJ9BjnBhuedktpRDbjYqw8qlXwuTNUr1Hl51QLBX_4QNEkhiVYZwdxSdl7xtWy5PGwBU6Nx7Y/s1600-h/IMGP5611.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346512890691707282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9ra-NzCODm-gXGrQWXPXTbehJtcNJFbrodWMF5qDAJIyWSiobUz82S9qj7VHnKDXtNQUJ9BjnBhuedktpRDbjYqw8qlXwuTNUr1Hl51QLBX_4QNEkhiVYZwdxSdl7xtWy5PGwBU6Nx7Y/s400/IMGP5611.JPG" border="0" /></a>So proud of her!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjPEFBAD8NCyiOMeNwlLRL3AYaQJfGuz_-wI9L4h4HOI3XKKfmeVVgqnBpICG7fCqkpzTAZ5jdejcpeuGjE725jL724IGOS6cMbHQLX8B2yJeucJXIMMnfpy9SS8tNHRDrlXhDr9a6yYg/s1600-h/IMGP5665.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346512885854159954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjPEFBAD8NCyiOMeNwlLRL3AYaQJfGuz_-wI9L4h4HOI3XKKfmeVVgqnBpICG7fCqkpzTAZ5jdejcpeuGjE725jL724IGOS6cMbHQLX8B2yJeucJXIMMnfpy9SS8tNHRDrlXhDr9a6yYg/s400/IMGP5665.JPG" border="0" /></a> Brynlee has learned to balance a plate on her head!

I love to keep up with other people and check facebook more regularly, but seem to let the blog slide. I mean I really don't think I have but maybe 1-2 readers, so maybe they will forgive me. Let's see...we have made it though Kindergarten graduation and the chicken pox, a dance recital and are finishing up swimming lessons this week. We are trying to get in a summer routine but when I have anything in the way like swimming lessons this week, it seems to just be survival mode that day. But next week we will start activites like bowling, the movies, park, or library. Whatever we feel like tackling that day!</div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-25683983256005320532009-05-11T06:40:00.000-07:002009-07-31T08:00:22.301-07:00Not Me Monday!<center><a href="http://www.mycharmingkids.net/"> </a></center><p><br /><br />It's Monday again...and you know what that means!

I am a bit of a stroller collector. I have had 5 now...all different kinds. I thought I had found the perfect one on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">eBay</span>. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Zooper</span> Tango. It is a side by side yet slim and seem to get good reviews. I mean if you have to have a double stroller your life is already a bit chaotic so you better have a good one. We already have a double <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stroller</span>, a sit and stand and a single. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ayric</span> says we could tote 6 or 7 kids around at any given time. Anyway, this dream stroller which retails between 300-400, was used and a few years old but looked like it had minimal wear and I won it for 95.00! Well after shipping, 145.00, but still. So I emailed the seller BEFORE bidding to make sure it could be here before we left. She said no problem and she would ship it the fastest way. I fully expected to get an email asking me to pay more shipping, etc to have it here guaranteed. There were 8 full days so I thought that could work. No contact from seller and no replies asking when she sent it, etc. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Ok</span> well SURELY since I paid a stranger money and she promised me to get it here it would arrive-Yeah, I know, I know. Anyway, I was so busy packing and running around and keeping the Disney secret from the girls that Friday passed and I hardly noticed, no stroller. I remember thinking as it was getting dark that sometimes UPS comes late. Again, I know, I know.<br /><br /><br />So we leave out Saturday with our old double stroller in tow. The wheel is a little bent or something but hey its never given us any trouble and who cares right, I'm going to the happiest place on earth. So we rush to the Princess Dinner the first night with the stroller and all of our little princesses and just before we get to the castle...yep, the wheel falls off. I always laugh at these situations, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ayric</span> usually never does. But this time since most of Epcot noticed and asked if they could help, he did giggle a bit, probably nervous laughter. Who cares, right, we are going to have a birthday dinner with the Princesses and nothing is stopping us now! So we eat and get autographs and photos, etc, etc and go back out to claim the three wheeler and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Ayric</span> bends down to try to fix or adjust or something the stroller wheel and he literally POPS his knee out of place. Again, me laughing, him, not so much. We some how made it back to the hotel so he could ice down his knee and figure out how we were going to get these kids around Disney for 7 more days. We had luckily brought the single stroller. And as a side note, this single stroller was on sale for 19.99, 6 years ago and has been everywhere and still ticking! So we spent a whopping 120.00 to RENT a double stroller for the remainder of the trip. The kids didn't like it because it was a low seat and they couldn't see much and certainly could not lay down to rest. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Brynlee</span> had to be in the single because she would fall out of the rental. The only way to buy a new stroller was to rent a cab and find a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Wal</span>-mart, with 3 kids and a bad knee, remember. No, not happening! <br /><br /><br />So we get home and I find my stroller on the porch, it had arrived 3 days late. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Ayric</span> got it out and put it together and asked me if there were more parts somewhere? Nope,. Well this stroller that was advertised as like new, minimal wear, no damage, and I saw pics, had the back post cracked in half! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Ok</span> there was no picture of that. It was very wobbly on that side and there was a spring on the other side but missing from this side. As we looked closer, someone had tried to hold it together by screwing 2 screws on top and 2 on bottom of the broken area. How odd? I know I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">naive</span> but who would do this? So of course I emailed the girl and told her it was broken and please let me know what to do. She replied, it was not that way when I sent it to you, maybe you should claim insurance if it was damaged in shipping. I kept writing back detailed posts what was wrong, etc, I kept getting the same reply, claim on insurance. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Ok</span> the box is intact, so why would the post office believe it was damaged. Plus I guess the postal fairy put all the screws in to try and cover it up! Anyway, she just absolutely refused to reply to me so I opened up a case on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">paypal</span>-item not as described. They saw the pic and took about 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">minutes</span> to rule in my favor. She had the nerve to write to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">paypal</span> and say that she thought I must have broken it in Disney-I WISH! But the catch is I have to pay almost 60.00 to send it back to her and I have nothing. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Paypal</span> will refund my 145.00 but then I spent 60.00 to learn a lesson about buying from idiots on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">eBay</span>. I guarantee if I send it back to her she will go file a claim and say it was damaged on the way back to her. You have to have my receipt where I mailed it to file an insurance claim, I read, so that will never happen! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Ayric</span> and I decided to see if we can order a whole new back and if it doesn't cost 60.00, we will come out ahead. So I am going to spend the 145.00 to give her an ever so nice feedback. Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">eBaying</span>!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-1573316131073057212009-03-27T07:00:00.001-07:002009-03-27T10:46:11.401-07:00ONE More Birthday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI7tifBekJkhQpT2bfWzBB9Fk1b9v8sZbT9rxnsr7mVSPVJlgdyGdc6yuDHjr90FTSqJADnRR-XhY4juMNOQdPXf626VbzJPb4h-HmHA8VC69d8YgYqYR2lB_-jsiybpxpFwbEx4c-Fs4/s1600-h/IMGP4742.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317924771463760466" style="DISPLAY: block;

So this weekend was party time! Brooke and Blaire had a magic show at the party and Brynlee just dressed up and came along for the ride. I decided not to do her "first" birthday in all the chaos but wait until we return from the trip and have a family party. On my to-do list is to get some good pics of the girls in these outfits but the party was just not the place. I think I am going to tell them, we can go to Disney IF you agree to a photo shoot when we get back-ha. The girls helped make the tutus and thankfully wanted to wear them. Brooke had to take hers off most of the day because of all the activities, bounce house, etc. But Blaire as you can see, wanted hers ON. </div></div></div></div></div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-52414785668307606862009-03-06T10:56:00.001-08:002009-03-06T11:08:17.634-08:00Betcha can't beat this!Ok I was doing some crazy shopping getting 3 girls coordinated for this 8 days we will be gone to Disney. Whew...Anyway, Ayric said he would watch the kids so I could get a little more done. I was zipping through the Gap and spotted a cute enough white tank, plain but even had a little rhinestone heart at the bottom. It was marked .97 so I could not pass it up. When I got to the register, I even thought would that not be funny if it were an additional % off or something. The little guy with no personality and even less brains, rings it up and looks at the register and then says, ".01." I repeated, ".01." He said , "Yes." No smile, no funny comment, nothing. I chuckled and dug out a penny and handed it to him and ran out before someone realized I was STEALING a perfectly good tank top from them. Even funnier than the top being .01, was that the guy did not think to ask anyone if this was ok that he sell a shirt for a penny, or even crack a smile when he told me the total. Oh yes, and I almost forgot, he actually said, "Do you want your receipt in the bagRobynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-33244692427806282032009-02-24T19:50:00.000-08:002009-02-24T20:54:02.816-08:00Long Time No Blog!<div align="center"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Valentine Cuties</div><div align="center"><br /> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGbn_dADdverU4CpDeflvam7_vP7io12lMnnWAST88U9COjzJB0xQHBZH9Gb2KM81KtgrgUsbtbdEOHart5aUBNngfMDaF1jCRUXCuZAXLBytlWDAdNgaDRuHWnoma2LHPVpeecyKNE4/s1600-h/IMGP3646.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306592450202744850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGbn_dADdverU4CpDeflvam7_vP7io12lMnnWAST88U9COjzJB0xQHBZH9Gb2KM81KtgrgUsbtbdEOHart5aUBNngfMDaF1jCRUXCuZAXLBytlWDAdNgaDRuHWnoma2LHPVpeecyKNE4/s400/IMGP3646.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Brynlee learning her ABCs<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQlJp2HvTkHCwsVg59vfut7y8SWJ-pKTBMn_TvkfziYzaCRy9FpE3OHWQTLEzT9rsO8HKuBbwMy1Ef8heyae9rWGwLCX4Fcop27rE8PnuxoErFwPzBuslvt_-3h1_rSlLCAFTpHtpgkN4/s1600-h/IMGP3634.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306592450085207874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQlJp2HvTkHCwsVg59vfut7y8SWJ-pKTBMn_TvkfziYzaCRy9FpE3OHWQTLEzT9rsO8HKuBbwMy1Ef8heyae9rWGwLCX4Fcop27rE8PnuxoErFwPzBuslvt_-3h1_rSlLCAFTpHtpgkN4/s400/IMGP3634.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>And she's off...<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXUCuGeVdptoqh3owA45qTnHMRJ9mK_Ksgun1e18kVNRZ8pZzHw4ApmCttyrhIqZQg7VkYsaEqnK2FQ1vUmB39fUxk81JBnCBzSayTgDkfGmEUEj6lHcq4UQ2YQA6vyusUgw9LaSWvUa4/s1600-h/IMGP3626.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306592444876259026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXUCuGeVdptoqh3owA45qTnHMRJ9mK_Ksgun1e18kVNRZ8pZzHw4ApmCttyrhIqZQg7VkYsaEqnK2FQ1vUmB39fUxk81JBnCBzSayTgDkfGmEUEj6lHcq4UQ2YQA6vyusUgw9LaSWvUa4/s400/IMGP3626.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Three Cowgirls<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoUg1df4YeOXKjh0iU-1qk9HuJs9ghYBVG5nWKKnavBw-FClfMKfQINdr4Losk1HrN9mxm2_xhi3bCL6mbGZa3gMJPxa_9RfD5Qx1fcFuQhJaoSEqlGyeSTnuCJ6rg4RYGrgQsu65XV8/s1600-h/IMGP3618.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306592439099216978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoUg1df4YeOXKjh0iU-1qk9HuJs9ghYBVG5nWKKnavBw-FClfMKfQINdr4Losk1HrN9mxm2_xhi3bCL6mbGZa3gMJPxa_9RfD5Qx1fcFuQhJaoSEqlGyeSTnuCJ6rg4RYGrgQsu65XV8/s400/IMGP3618.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Wow... I have not posted in over a month. Let's see where to begin. We had my birthday, then Valentine's Day, 4 cases of the FLU, and now planning 3 birthday parties in March. But most importantly..we are packing, planning, etc, for our BIG surprise Spring Break trip to DISNEY! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. The girls have no idea. They all have a birthday the week of Spring Break (I knew this would be helpful one day) so it is going to be a birthday celebration! The first Sat of Spring Break is Brooke's actual birthday so we are going to schedule a call from Cinderella and wake the girls up. Car will be packed and ready Friday night. We are going to somehow ask Brooke and Blaire what they would like to do for Spring Break/Birthday etc and if it doesn't already come out of Brooke's mouth (she tells us quite frequently she wants to go to Disney one day, but we keep telling her Brynlee has to be a little older) we are going to say, "How about Disney World?" and all hop in the car and head for the airport! Ok that's how it goes in my fairytale but I will let you know how it really turns out.Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-18983666191649012162009-01-20T21:05:00.000-08:002009-01-20T21:22:34.191-08:00Laughter Lives<a href="http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com"><img src="http://www.brentriggsblog.com/blogpics/laughterlivesbadge.jpg" alt="Laughter Lives" width="150" height="150" border="0" align="right" longdesc="http://www.brentriggs.com" /></a>This post is part of "Laughter Lives!

Check our <a href="http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com">their blog</a> to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.<br /><br />Ok now I have a reason to share a couple of funny stories....<br /><br />Blaire, oh Blaire, what can I say. She is a spunky 2 year old and I love her. Here is one of her latest stunts. Well, we have been having conversations when she gets in trouble about who is in charge and why. (God made Mommies and Daddies to take care of you and tell you what to do, etc, etc) She woke up one morning and at the breakfast bar I could tell she was in deep thought. She said, "Mom, God told me from heaven with his magic wand, that <em>I </em>was the boss!" I think she must have had a dream about it or something. I don't know where the magic wand comes in.<br /><br />Blaire had this revelation this afternoon as Uncle Adam drove up. She said, <em>Uncle </em>Adam, (pause) <em>Uncle </em>Michael, (pause) <em>Uncle </em>Alan (pause).... <em>Uncle</em> Todd....HEY, they're all on the same team!<br /><br /><br />Brooke (our 5 year old) has been to the Bass Pro Shop many times but the last trip she made a discovery. She was looking at all the "stuffed" animals and naming them, asking questions, etc. She paused and got very quiet. "Dad, were all these animals alive one time and now they are dead?"Ayric replied, "Yep." She held her composure but said, "We have got to get out of here with all these dead animals!" She is our vegetarian from birth with such a sensitive heart. The kid has never digested a piece of chicken, beef, pork. I tried to sneak it on for her when she was eating baby food, and out it came. She can pick out the tiniest pieces of chicken in soup. And believe me she has really no idea where it all comes from because if she did, none of us would be allowed to eat meat. Recently she asked me where hamburgers came from and I said, "Well... you know from animals, like cows... " I was really pushing it. She thought about it but I really don't think she gets the whole slaughter the animal and eat it thing yet. My guess is that she thinks it "comes from" a cow much like an egg comes from a chicken.Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-50655059013847975582009-01-17T07:59:00.000-08:002009-01-17T08:02:28.405-08:00<center><a href="http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/"><img src="http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r208/jennisajoy/BLOG%20DESIGN/ONCEUPONABLOG/prayingforharpercopy.png" /> </a></center><center> </center><center>Found this through one of my other blog friends.

For one, I am not enjoying nursing my 10 month old because it gives me more computer time. I also do not sit in my computer chair and nurse. That would be much too uncomfortable. </p><p>Oh- one more thing I would never do. I wouldn't even think of reprimanding another <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">person's</span> child at the mall playground. Because first of all I would never take my children to the MALL PLAYGROUND in the middle of cold and flu season, that would be outrageous right there. But this child who was running around screaming a high pitch annoying scream everywhere he went got right up in my daughter's face and for no apparent reason let go of another scream. It just happened before I could stop it..I said, Oh, no please don't scream in her face. If I had done this, I would say it was because I was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">protecting</span> my own child. If my husband had been there, dying of embarrassment, he would have told me never to do that to another person's child, just ask mine to come away. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">OK</span> maybe next time... </p>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-10779615514309218702009-01-09T11:09:00.001-08:002009-01-09T13:44:27.246-08:00Picture People<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9FVGpaE-9-eYaPUcBRLdqzwCvSEdhtFLHr9NmnmPA7rwBbazCqWOMPwDpL0e_-uAlxDnaMpWSYq6Q_ZWwZFuzO4NHgAwW8gRgeohbTMoyDp5US0BbPZ-Y4Pm_iy5UgXy0aJO7U0WmaP4/s1600-h/img006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289412689826698754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 282px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9FVGpaE-9-eYaPUcBRLdqzwCvSEdhtFLHr9NmnmPA7rwBbazCqWOMPwDpL0e_-uAlxDnaMpWSYq6Q_ZWwZFuzO4NHgAwW8gRgeohbTMoyDp5US0BbPZ-Y4Pm_iy5UgXy0aJO7U0WmaP4/s400/img006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIoAzU0nFE4TtQRv75scQnvMMe2c8WlzRsJT3HJMa00OR_b4uVwonxaUn0kD6YNZU_pIPqOrZ_itx1nwxGQZjRSBWUGL-_y2W3iDvevgkqkLLHMt1mda4xg8bndh_tu8IBqa8RTYA0wIg/s1600-h/img004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289412685093237714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIoAzU0nFE4TtQRv75scQnvMMe2c8WlzRsJT3HJMa00OR_b4uVwonxaUn0kD6YNZU_pIPqOrZ_itx1nwxGQZjRSBWUGL-_y2W3iDvevgkqkLLHMt1mda4xg8bndh_tu8IBqa8RTYA0wIg/s400/img004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGYSK4t19l1uUjYKQS12NJBjlhGAmkkQqwGsd0oDSd34oJbyyTfjqwp5qroyofKhR6Tkqd8J6qnLliWgOdxPNsuOOQRi45rxKAuOM0PAJqekE38aU7JGR7lylv_iAH77K0vxz6UI0eSLo/s1600-h/img003.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div>We had these pictures made last weekend at Picture People.

I was truly surprised to find out today was Monday-it's hard to keep up. So here are some things I would have never done..no matter what day it is-<br /><br />I most certainly did not forget to lock the wheels on the double stroller..(aka the tantrum wagon) and while my middle daughter was getting on the table at the doctor, bump the stroller and accidentally completely fold the stroller in the small doctors waiting room...with my 8 month old baby strapped in. I hurriedly try to get the stroller back up so I could get my scared, screaming, yet virtually unharmed baby out. She did have a mark on her forehead where the little snack tray collided in the unfortunate incident but seemed not to notice. What kind of whack-job must someone be to do that!<br /><br />When taking my poor poodle to the groomer they would never charge my DOUBLE because we had waited so long to bring her in. (I really wish I had a before shot) I would never have to put a ponytail on top of her little head so that she could see. They also did not inform me that the rescue people were in asking if she needed a home. That would not be my experience at the dog groomer because I take perfect care of all my kids and animals. (I promise we love her)Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-69890059751128374382008-12-16T07:10:00.001-08:002008-12-16T07:28:50.277-08:00I Make BraceletsFunny-it is amazing how many people I have known for years will get my business card or find out I make bracelets that have no idea. Recently I have gotten orders from friends, etc and thought well maybe I should let everyone know. I make bracelets. Mommy bracelets mainly, but I do other stuff by request. For example, grandma bracelets, cancer awareness, school colors, picture frames. Well, you can see for yourself...braceyourselfdesigns.com Shoot me an email <a href="mailto:robyn@braceyourselfdesigns.com">robyn@braceyourselfdesigns.com</a><br /><br />They are also on display at Graham Crackers, (childrens consignment in Wake Village).<br /><br />It's not too late for Christmas, especially if you are local. I can mail UPS and it will get there also.<br /><br />Oh and we have been struggling on a Christmas Card...3 kids smiling harmonioulsy-haha<br /><br />So here are some from the photo shoot we are NOT using. I decided you can't really see what they look like under all the hats so we opted for indoor shots...wait and see!<br /><br />So this was going to be titled, Who Needs Snow? Hence all the leaves, sled, and gear. But didn't really turn out as planned. Oh well. don't sweat the small stuff right?<br /><object width="420" height="312" ><param name="movie" value="http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer_v2_embed.swf?scrapblogId=1013212&showShareButton=true&showShareInitially=true&showOnlyShare=false&partnerId=1" /></param><embed src="http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer_v2_embed.swf?scrapblogId=1013212&showShareButton=true&showShareInitially=true&showOnlyShare=false&partnerId=1" width="420" height="312"></embed></object>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-14970976209476173542008-12-09T06:37:00.000-08:002008-12-16T08:27:05.748-08:00Blog FrogCheck out the Blog Frog-found it on McKMama's site.<br /><br />theblogfrog.comRobynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-5396399699896371042008-12-01T04:33:00.000-08:002008-12-01T04:49:18.527-08:00Not Me Monday!<p align="center"><a href="http://www.mycharmingkids.net/"><img alt="[NotMeMonday.jpg]" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vM6b8IiDv0I/SPKR14eRHwI/AAAAAAAAD5M/-Xvn3EF3250/s1600/NotMeMonday.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><center><a href="http://www.mycharmingkids.net/"></a></center><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br />It's Monday-back to school after the long break. I had forgotten how nice it was to not have a kindergartener that had to be taken and picked up from school ;) We all miss the days of sleeping in, especially when it is so chilly out! Anyway... here are things I definitely did not do this week-<br /><br />After 5 trips to the doctor in just 6 days, 6 prescriptions, 2 xrays, 2 shots, 1 strep test, and a breathing machine later-I did not have to keep telling myself, "I will miss all this one day, I will miss all this one day, I know I will!"<br /><br />When my husband wrote "CLEAN ME" in the layer of dust on our furniture last night, I did not politely comment back with "NO" in my own dust writing.<br /><br />I did not get up,no STAY up rather, (no sleep to be had this week with the sickies) and drive to Wal-mart at 3:30 AM to try and buy a Barbie Jeep for Blaire. As I watched the crowds I did not think about the post I would write to commemorate all the Black Friday, hmm "Shoppers". Not me, I don't experience life through my blog ...ha<br /><br />And I most certainly did not let my oldest have an oreo with breakfast because I was literally too tired to care. This is after earlier in the week trying to sneak garbanzo beans in her mac and cheese for protein. (A no-g0 BTW!)<br /></p>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465506801900892633.post-47813919538883879992008-11-09T06:56:00.000-08:002008-11-09T07:20:42.108-08:00Bible Stories, Bow Heads, and Veterans<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIj-rtUIu5qdDh6jUchdTbQjSnscqVQAmz5lQmZywqkuXScUDHRl_mLY73U-CtPPycL2Uyi05UWaG-I77PSmEqKYyI2Fv37bMylP1QdIHK1bJXfYyUrVoh15ZwMxEFvb6GHInPn4KjI8/s1600-h/IMGP2996.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266675592515656786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIj-rtUIu5qdDh6jUchdTbQjSnscqVQAmz5lQmZywqkuXScUDHRl_mLY73U-CtPPycL2Uyi05UWaG-I77PSmEqKYyI2Fv37bMylP1QdIHK1bJXfYyUrVoh15ZwMxEFvb6GHInPn4KjI8/s400/IMGP2996.JPG" border="0" /></a> Blaire's rendition of Jonah and the Whale<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFO_guBmb0bJxDaSFzUza7OVZhs9F7dt0eRm9pqX2tNlKHnN8OG0CGn1sFSzPN2WaR4gYnpWQp5zxvXEVKKOBo57v0usipoemPD4S4E_soRtN6viY26tRkwyVb2x8qw1L2JTcT0B3C3EQ/s1600-h/IMGP2994.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266675591643948210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFO_guBmb0bJxDaSFzUza7OVZhs9F7dt0eRm9pqX2tNlKHnN8OG0CGn1sFSzPN2WaR4gYnpWQp5zxvXEVKKOBo57v0usipoemPD4S4E_soRtN6viY26tRkwyVb2x8qw1L2JTcT0B3C3EQ/s400/IMGP2994.JPG" border="0" /></a> When I asked her what happened next after Jonah was swallowed by the whale, she said he chewed him up.

Once we got over the "I'm first" at every house. We made it through the neighborhood and then stopped off at the mall to show Nee Nee our costumes, or what was left of them at that point. Brooke insisted on being Cruella for about 6 months now. That girl has a mind of her own (don't know where she gets it). I think it turned out pretty cute. I suggested to Blaire maybe a ladybug because we had that adorable tutu from Brooke's dance last year. I have always called her my ladybug so she thought that was pretty neat , and the tutu sealed the deal. Miss Brynlee, she had no choice, this was the costume that both of her sisters wore on their first Halloween so it had to be. I think that wig is too darn cute.<br />Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween- </div>Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217611395020532102noreply@blogger.com1
