and eventually you realize it is marchin' across your face." Truvy from Steel Magnolias. LOVE that movie.
I can't believe it has been 2 months with no post again. I can't believe how fast time is flying. I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing. On the one hand I definitely am not bored, on the other hand my kids are growing up so fast and I don't have time to do everything I need/want to do.
Life has been busy. Couldn't name one thing that I have been doing, just busy. Oh, I did redecorate.. scratch that.. decorate my room. FINALLY. It only has taken 3.5 years to do it. HURRAY!
Judson update: He made straight A's so far and his teacher just loves him. (Secretly I think he has a crush on her, but you didn't hear that from me. Mrs. Bonita don't say nothin' bout nobody). He would KILL me for even thinking that much less sharing that info with you. But... you wont tell will you? I wouldn't blame him for crushing on her, she is a doll and is such a fun teacher. She finds really fun ways to keep the kids involved and interested. I am SO grateful for this since third grade was when I decided school SUCKED. I have to say that he is in the magical stage for me. And this is not just for the "blog sugar coating crap." Nine is AWESOME. He is starting to get more jokes, teasing is more fun, we are reading Harry Potter together, he is fun to take to the store (as long as I warn him that we are goign to be a while before we go). He does throw the occasional fit, but only when he is over tired. I am trying to enjoy every minute and hopefully lay the foundations for him to stay close when he is a teenager.
Carma update: she started school. She loves it. She was in the four year old class, but her teacher felt that she wasn't on the level and she suggested that we move her to the 3 year old class and continue getting tested. (We had already done some testing). So now she is in the 3 year old class and it was also suggested that we put her in a transitional preschool since she tested below or almost below level at most categories at Alpine testing centers. She is so super smart on some things, but on other things, I just don't understand how her brain works. I hope they can teach me how to work with her and teach her. I am so grateful that there are so many resources for kids these days. I feel so blessed that we can learn how she learns and teach her in a way that she understands. She is such a sweetie pie. I just want to squeeze her. She LOVES school and it is so amazing to see her learn so much and grow up. She is fully potty trained (only had one accident since she decided that she was going to do it.. AMAZING. And a few weeks ago she decided that she didn't need to hold her poo in anymore. She is amazing!!)
Wyatt is growing up so fast. He is standing on his own, but doesn't want to try walking yet. He turns one on Friday. I can't believe it has already been a year. He is the cutest baby on the planet. He is so playful and always has a flirty playful look on his face. I guess b/c we all tease him, he loves it. I just noticed (Ok, it wasn't me but Michael who noticed) yesterday that he is getting three teeth in all at the same time.. and 2 are i-teeth (and supposedly those are hard to teeth, but since I don't remember my teething stage I couldn't confirm this myth). I will ask him what he thinks. Right now he is hmmming and trying to steal Carma's toys. I guess he figures if he hummmms maybe she wont notice.. like lulling food from a bear or something. It doesn't look to be working, she is a bit too clever.
Me on the other hand. What am I up to? hmmmm Not much comes to mind, but I swear I am so busy that I make a to do list and prioritize and still don't have the time to get everything done. Maybe I need a time management class. But just to give you an idea, I have been working on this dang post for 4 hours and with all of the interruptions and distractions I am still not finished. I don't know how working moms do it. BRB... now make that 4 1/2 hours. NO JOKE.
I am glad that Juddy got to go have fun in the Limo, but I missed him. I really did. But I didn't want him to miss out on such fun.
Any guess on who this weirdo is? Nope, it isn't the sasquach. It is Michael! He had me shave his head except for eyebrows and paint the back of it. I did a pretty crappy job, but now that I know more of how it should look I will do a better job next time. It was so funny. I am just proud that he dressed up!
Amiee came and spent trick or treating w/ us. It was SO MUCH FUN. That makes two weekends in a row that we have spent together. So fun! (We have been BFF's since high school she lives and hour and a half away now:( So it is always a treat to hang out).
Amiees boy is the adorable Skunk. What a cutie stinker!!! I loved watching him waddle in it. He is SOOO CUTE!! The first couple of doors he wanted to eat the candy every time he got a piece. haha it is so cute! Carma LOVED tricker treating. She was so funny. Last year she was scared after the second door, so I am glad she likes it now. She has grown up so much recently.
I was a goth fairy just in case you were wondering. Carma is my kitty cat. She is THE CUTEST!! I love that cutie girl. She LOVED dressing up. I am pretty sure she wore the kitty outfit three days straight.
Here are some pictures of her school carnival. She had so much fun. I was amazed at the effort the Preschool put into it. There were several booths. We were there for almost 2 hours and didn't get bored. I really love that she is growing up and we can enjoy time together like this. It was really so much fun to play games with her. She even went down a giant inflatable slide ALL BY HERSELF! WOW! I also have to give high fives to me b/c usually I stress out bringing Wyatt and Carma to a public event like this, but I wasn't stressed at all, it was really fun!
Judson had the grand idea of painting pumpkins. He painted the green part (most of it) of Mike Wasoski and was done. I on the other hand couldn't stop painting. It was like a new addiction for a few days. (note: Michael painted Hello Kitty and Jack the pumpkin king). It is SO much easier to pant rather than carve. Although, Judson really wants to carve one.
Carma painting pumpkins.
BUSTED! Judson put Carma's kitty costume on. Notice he is trying to run from the paparazzi. . Did he really think I wouldn't take a picture of this? 
Heather, Yukari, Me, Natalie
Nice triple chin shot, but isn't Yukari DARLING!!
Carma in dance class.
Judson just being the handsome boy that he is.
Carma fell asleep on paw-paw during their visit. (Which btw was SO awesome to have them here!!)
Ruby and Carma at the Pinewood derby.
Judson's super lightening car for the pinewood derby.
Wyatt eating his first corn on the cob.
Carma wearing Wyatts clothes... yes, I said WYATT'S clothes and they fit.. almost.
Carma first day of school.
Wyatt playing in the "antique" car that Maw-maw and Paw-paw bought for Judson when he was 2. It was broken for years and someone returned it fixed. Thanks to the mysterious person who did this.
Me playing around with some pictures on Photoshop. I like this one. I would like to make the car a little more antique looking and maybe a cooler orange. I really need to take a class.
