Do You Remember?

A  few years back, I posted a picture of my favorite politically-incorrect store name in Panama.  Remember?

 



 

Well, yesterday I was shopping, and I came across *the* poltically-incorrect accessory item.

 

 

 

Come and get 'em- your Big Mama pantyhose!  Seriously, who comes up with these names?



Twin Day- Chloe

I was unable to get a picture of Chloe yesterday, but fornutately, her teacher was able to get one, and he sent it to me.

Spirit Week!

The rest of this week is the completion of Spirit Week at the school.  We started last week, but because of electricity shortages, school had to be cancelled for the end of last week.  Today is the kids' favorite day of Spirit Week, Twin Day.  They choose a friend and dress up like twins.  I couldn't get pictures of them with their "twin," but I had to capture them in their twin regalia!!

Twin day is so specific that it covers how to do your hair- spikes for Carson and ponytail for Camilla.  Sunglasses, hat and necklace were also required components of this year's twin uniforms.  Chloe's look was so specific that she was on the phone until she left for school to make sure everything was just right!  I'll try to capture her picture this evening.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

 

Happy Mother's Day to my AMAZING mom and to my four C-kids who made me a mom! 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day to the AMAZING lady who raised my incredible husband!

 

 

LOVE to you ALL!!

 

Quotation of the Morning

Background:  The kids are out of school for the rest of the week so we are taking advantage of the time by going through all their clothes.  I'm hoping to have a good list of exactly what we need to purchase in the States.  As Chloe was trying on her clothes, she said the quotation of the day:

"Now's when I pray to the stretch gods to get this stuff to fit."

 

 

 

Have we not all been there before? 

 

(She loves some of her older clothing.  This isn't about body issues.  It's about trying to shove her 11-year-old self into her size 7 clothes.)

Me Time.

Sometimes, it's important to get a chance to be alone.  It can be hard finding the time to take a deep breath without interruption.  That's even more true when you are the youngest of four.

 

Fortunately, when you're the baby, you're more likely to fit under the slide.  You can steal away for a few minutes of uninterrupted puzzle time.  Even then, you might not get the peace you desire.

 

At which point, it might be advantageous to hire the dog to guard you from any unwanted interruptions.

 

Thankfully, when you get your fill of alone time, you'll allow your momma to take your picture.  You'll even give her a smile.

Audiologist

I wanted to follow-up about Coralynn's appointment with the audiologist.  It was a good news- bad news morning.

Good news:  In all areas, Coralynn's hearing showed improvement.  In her left ear, she had very large increases in hearing.

Not so good news:  Her hearing is still not normal.  In one of the tests, her results were slightly off from normal.

The audiologist referred to Coralynn's hearing as "just fine, but not normal."

I'm not really sure what that means.

What I do know is that I have a happy, healthy almost 3-year-old Bits sound asleep in her crib.

That's enough for me.

Thank you for your prayers.
