Happy Halloween!!!

Even Queens like vampire teeth, especially pink ones. ;-)

All I want for Christmas...

is my two front teeth!


Gracie has a little incident on the playground at school yesterday and ended up losing both front teeth last night. Luckily, they were both a little loose anyway so it isn't like she lost them far too soon. I think she looks adorable.

And the cheap tooth fairy only brought her $2. ;-)

A Mom is a Mom is a Mom........

As an adoptive parent, I get SO sick & tired of people telling me how "good we are for taking in our girls", or how "they're so lucky", or ask me ridiculous questions like "why didn't their real moms want them?". I even had someone (an adult, mind you) ask me if Sophie knew karate when she came home at 13 months of age. What?!?!?!? How stupid can a person be? Now I ask you, would ANYBODY say those kinds of things to a woman who gave birth to her kids? I think not!

I am typically very nice to people who ask me such rude questions or make such ridiculous remarks because I always assume that they're too ignorant to know better, but no more.....

Be forewarned world----- the next person who utters a peep of some rude or insensitive adoption remark will be laid out cold. Yes, that's right. I will put the smack down on them. Maybe I would never actually hit someone, but I am not too decent to be an utter bi@#h! Got it? Good!

Columbus Day

It's Columbus Day!

The girls' kindergarten class celebrated by performing a few songs for parents---- and also by wearing spiffy little Christopher Columbus hats. ;-)




And here they are. The one. The only. Christopher Columbus singers!

pj day

The girls recently had a pajama day at school (or as Grace calls it, "kajama" day). Naturally, I had to run out and buy them new jammies because their oversized Hanes t-shirts just didn't cut it for school. ;-)

And lookie at Grace's braids. I did that all by myself, thank you very much. I'm terrible at braiding, so I was quite proud of myself.



Sophie looks almost as thrilled as the dog in this pic. ;-)

Pumpkin Patch pics

The girls' kindergarten class went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. Sophie & Grace both had loads of fun.

Here are a few pics....
