Kobe

Sarah Kate only sees about 50% of the things around her because of her hair. I keep a bow in it ALL the time. I took this shot right when she got up this morning. Bless her heart. I just hate to cut it. I am going to keep doing the bow thing till she starts pulling them out.
Kelly and Lauren gave Emily some of Lauren's old ballet clothes. Emily has never been happier with these new found items.
Here is Sarah Kate walking through the living room after her bath tonight. She is no longer crawling. She is so proud of herself. I am proud of her too! She is carrying around the top to a pitcher. These are the kind of things she LOVES to play with. Earlier today it was an un-opened package of contact holders.
About three months ago, I began bathing the girls in the laundry room sink. It is so much easier that leaning over the bath tub. This old mama needed a simple way to bath them.

Tonight we ate at Kobe and I am still in awe of the wonderful meal. I LOVE food and when I find something really good to eat, I don't hold back. I went on and on about how delicious the food was. I ordered some crunchy California rolls and they were almost up there with Chili's chips and salsa. My favorite food in the world is Chili's chips and salsa. I wouldn't share my California rolls with Steve and I feel bad about that right now, but I told him that I would enjoy them more than he would. ( I was taught that when you share you always feel full )
Emily drank from the soy sauce container on the table. LOVELY. Give that a thought next time you reach for the soy sauce in a restaurant.

It's too bad you won't enroll Emily in ballet classes! Haha!

Hair in the eyes is the reason that Neely ALWAYS has a ponytail on the top of her head--it's easier to keep the bows on that way too.

Is KOBE like Shogun? We've never eaten there before

Oh my gosh I am cracking up over Emily drinking the soy sauce. My daughter does things like that all of the time too! (my oldest is almost 2)

About Sarah Kate's hair- My daughter had the same problem so I used those little clips that are shaped like a triangle that snap back and forth. When she started pulling those out I bought little rubber bands. AND when THOSE started being pulled out I bought the tiny plastic bands. They sell them in Target or Walmart and I used to only see them in clear, but now they make colors. I put a bow over that to go out, but she can't get those out, and it doesn't rip her hair out. I put one in her hair every morning right after a diaper change....just a thought

I am really cracking up at the description of your Kobe meal. And I would agree that there is nothing better in the world than Chili's chips and salsa.

I don't know you, but found your blog through Kelly's Korner, and had to laugh about your little girl's hair. My daughter is now five, and her hair is beautiful just like your daughter's, but has that same part in it that forces me to put a bow or barrette in it to keep it out of her eyes. It is just now getting long enough and thick enough that we can pull it back, but until then, thank goodness for the talented Etsy sellers who make such cute girly clips!!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
