Awesome Randomness

I'm just trying to keep trucking on things so I'm posting the randomness that is my picture taking at this time.
A picture that Miss Fabulous drew of her dad's Beetle...when it has its engine back in, has flames painted on the side (and apparently red and orange panels here and there), and has become a race car. If you clickety on the picture, you'll see that the driver has a helmet on, as well as the passenger in the back, which I can only assume is herself. Inspiration? John is thinking about adding white flames to the doors of the teal Gangrene (which I have dubbed it for numerous reasons) and was drawing out some ideas.
John and I were able to go to the temple in Boston about a month ago and participate in sealings. It brought back many memories from our own wedding day over 10 years ago!
One of the VERY few pictures that I took on Thanksgiving day. My camera's flash has died, so I have been using Miss Fab's camera. My dad recently sent me an old camera of his so I can send mine in to be fixed. One of these days...
An advertisement left on the fridge, courtesy of Miss Fabulous and inspired by Fancy Nancy. I knew I needed some fancying up!
MF also got an assignment from school to dress up a paper gingerbread girl with pompoms, rick rack, buttons, etc. She and I sat down with a piece of paper.
Me: Okay, let me show you what I was thinking. *beginning to draw traditional gingerbread girl with a little added flare*
Miss F: Hmmmm. That's so nice, but let me show you what I was thinking.
Then she proceeds to draw out a fully clothed princess gingerbread girl, complete with flowing hair and bows and glittery crown. Here is our final result:
She didn't get the flowing hair or bows (due to lack of yellow felt or yarn...she HAD to be blonde, you know), but she DID get high heels, a necklace, "big red lipstick", a shiny crown, pearl earrings, and a glittery dress. It took us a little while to do since Star wanted to be involved or pulling out (or sitting on) the cord to the glue gun but she is done and Miss Fabulous is happy!

And now a little video of my ragamuffin, Star.

That video is the cutest darn thing. Also maybe we all need a little more fanciness. Love those girls.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
