The mascara incident of 2009

I posted this on Facebook when it happened, but since I am not going to print off my Facebook pages to make a memory book I figured I should blog about it too.  As anyone with kids knows, when it's too loud or too quiet something is wrong.  Well this time it was too quiet and I had not seen Charis for probably 5 minutes.  So I started looking for her and found her in my bedroom holding my mascara wand.  "Oh no!" I thought and started looking for the damage.  Once I found it, my next thought was a little more R-rated than "Oh no!" but I just bit my tongue and went to find the camera.  You'll be pleased to know that peroxide and dish soap gets mascara out of carpet (also works on red wine, by the way, since adults sometimes make messes too!).

      

 

Adults only trip to Austin!

May 29, 2009 Chis and I got to enjoy an evening away in Austin! I drove down for work Thursday and Chris flew in to meet me Friday at noon.  We headed straight to Mecca Spa for some R&R! We had lunch on the patio overlooking the biggest Whole Foods grocery store I have ever seen and then got massages.  We had some great sushi for dinner and enjoyed a couple hours on 6th Street too!  The downside was that we had to drive home at 4am the next day! But we made it and recovered just fine!!

The Princess gets a haircut!

Sweet Charis and her terrible hair...it is so thin, it just is kind of a mess.  But we'd reached a critical point where the back looked rather like a tail, which is clearly unacceptable.  So off we went to Sweet & Sassy in Southlake, the primo place for a little girl's "do!"

She did quite a bit better than Price, but to be fair, her haircut was over in about 2 minutes, where as his took more like 15.  I mean it does not take long to snip off a little tail, right?!

She got to sit in my lap and then she got to have glitter sprinkled in her hair!  She really did great! (This actually took place May 16, 2009.)

Mother's Day, 2009

What a sweet day it was.  Those 2 babies are just my pride and joy.  So many days in May (before it got so hot!) we would walk to this little park in our neighborhood.  It is about a mile so it is a nice walk for the babies and nice exercise for mommy!  They're both such little sweethearts just bursting with personality!  We spent the afternoon over at the Andrews' and it was a nice time, even if a bit stressful for mommy with all the twists, turns and drop-offs over there!

This pretty much ended our 2-week quarantine due to the Swine Flu.  In the end it seemed like much ado about nothing, but better safe than sorry, right? I kept the kids out of My Gym, Church and any/everything else.  They were so happy to get back to the normal schedule! Their first day back at My Gym they just jumped around giggling the whole time! 

ER trip, round 2

This seems like old news now, but on May 7, our last week of school I got a call from the ever and always calm sitter, Ashley, "um hi Carly, Price took a little fall..." So I promptly cancelled classes and headed to meet them at the ER.  This time stitches were not required - just glue.  It was a pretty quick trip but traumatic for the boy none the less.  So now he has an "ow-y" on the top of his forehead and the bottom of his chin, just like Mommy!
