Airport fun and Elton

Woo-hoo! Scott gets in tomorrow night. We're so excited. Molly is just about to bust. I think Katie will think he's been at the airport all this time.
My ultrasound is Tuesday and I'm so glad Scott will be here. Molly's all about going to that.
How 'bout this -- Molly's invited to 3 birthday parties Saturday! She's more popular than I ever was and she's in preschool. We're going to Christian's party, of course. Wouldn't miss the pony rides.
The Elton John concert is Saturday night and I can hardly stand it. I think the last concert I went to was Amy Grant (Scott's pick, definately not mine), the one before that was Counting Crows -- great times. Hope Elton sings "Levon" and "That's Why They Call It The Blues." Got his new CD and I'm not all that excited about the new stuff.
Here I go to make my coffee. Bet Scott will think the new coffee maker is silly.

Touched in the head

Yippee! I get to go to the neurologist Tuesday to see if my dizzy spells are anything serious. Dr. Breen wouldn't say what he thought was causing it, just said he didn't think it was my blood pressure. The next Tuesday is my ultrasound, the morning after Scott gets home. That should be more fun than the neurologist's.
I'm so excited he'll be home in 10 days.

New Post! I can hardly stand it.

I've been bad about not posting for 2 months. Busy life, new fish, pregnancy -- you know, the new usual.
Here are some fun pics -- Molly Christmas day catching snowflakes on her tongue, some of her birthday party at Mr. Fish, and today's adventure -- Molly giving a deep conditioning treatment to Katie. It was much worse than the pic shows, but it's the only one that wasn't beyond blurry. It's blurry, but hardly compares to the others that didn't turn out at all.
More later.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'm making the trek to Shreveport tomorrow with the girls for Thanksgiving. Borrowed a DVD player for the car from a friend. Should make the trip a little easier. We gotta get one of those.
Scott is having Thanksgiving tomorrow in Afghanistan. Should be interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Count your blessings.

the Ashland, almost home. 

My Southern Home

Well, we're building a house, it's official. The plans and our neighborhood is on southerhomes.com, Tallow Creek, the Ashland is our house.
I signed the contract today, picked out colors and stuff with the help of my fab MIL and they start building next month. Should be ready late March or early April. I picked a purty brick and nifty countertops and flooring and all. Scott is the best for trusting me to do all this with him away. I have a terrific family.
I other news, Molly is in Lafayette at her Aunt Amy's house. She couldn't care less about me. She waved bye to me while looking straight ahead at the road. She's having a blast. Katie doesn't understand where Molly is -- I can tell. She went in Molly's room and looked up at her bed, like "where'd she go?" Last night she started dancing and holding her index finger in the air. She did it at the model home today and GiGi got to see. Too funny.
I'm posting a pic of the model finished house. It's not the same brick or anything, but will give an idea, you know.

'tis the season to be shopping

Man, I got all my kid Christmas shopping done today. I am so done. Now I just have adults (and a couple outfits to order online for Molly and Katie, but I dont' count that, since it's online). This is a nice feeling, it's the middle of November and no more toys to buy.

Give us some candy

Kitty, the lesser known Little Mermaid 

More Halloween

Trick or Treating was really funny. The girls were too much. Molly insisted I refer to her as Ariel and Katie just wanted candy. Molly would walk up to me from the house she just went to and say "let's go the next house and get more candy! I want all the candy." She could barely lift her Hello Kitty treat back when we got back to the house.
Back at the ranch, our trick or treaters were snotty. I gave pencils and candy this year. I put a pencil and a candy in each bag and one kid saw the pencil and said "what, no candy?" I was like, hold up, devil girl (she was dressed as a devil girl) I gave you M&Ms!
Here I go to rest up. Trick or Treating takes a lot out of you when you're 30.

Punkin' girls 

Happy Halloween

Weird that Halloween falls on a Sunday. Gotta go to the church this morning and trick or treat tonight. Molly's Ariel and Katie's a ballerina. Whenever Molly has been less than good this weekend, I've threatened, "you want to trick or treat, don't you?" and suddenly she's an angel.
We carved our everlasting pumpkin and I only managed to knick myself twice. I don't think I ever did that on a real pumpkin. The people down here are really into Halloween. The people at the top of my street have a headstone in the yard and the limbs of a skeleton (and the skull) coming up out of the ground like he's trying to escape the grave. It's creepy. We're just going to hit a few houses tonight, 'cause I know Ariel will get scared. I'm off to have my morning coffee, er witches brew.

Scott in Karshi

Well, Scott made it to Karshi, Uzbekistan. Thank the Lord. Next week he goes to Afghanistan on a Sesna. I'm just so thankful that he's safe. Hope it's not like Fear Factor and they have to eat scorpions over there. There's lots of those things in the Middle East. Yikes.

Nemo found

I bought Molly Finding Nemo cereal, thinking because she loves the movie and talks about the commercial for it all the time, I figured she's eat the cereal. So, she asked for it when she saw the box and I poured it and she sat at the table looking at it. I asked if she was going to eat it and she said "I just want to watch Nemo swim in the milk." After a few minutes I said you really should eat the cereal and she said "Fish are friends not food!" The girl is too much.
My hair is semi-normal now. A little too red, but it should tone down in a week or so. Bye, bye pink/blonde tresses, hello Molly Ringwald.
