Caution this is a very deep conversation...

I would like to sum up for everyone our dinner conversation this evening.

Me: Easton what was the best part of your day?

Easton: well I got a new girlfriend

Me: Ok, wait a NEW girlfriend? I wasn't aware you had a girlfriend.

Paisley: Molly was his girlfriend mom, now its Sara.

Easton: Yeah mom! Molly WAAAAS my girlfriend but now its Sara

Me: Whys that?

Easton: Sara plays horse better at recess and Molly has a hurt knee and cant play right now

Me: Well I hope your still being nice to Molly

Easton: I am but she gives me lots of mean looks like this...(insert hilarious "mean face" by Easton here)

Me: Well that's too bad...I don't think you need a girlfriend

Paisley: yeah huh boys have girlfriends mom

Easton: And mom its very important to have a girlfriend that you like.

Ok....where do a 4 and 5 yr old learn all this? I'm also left wondering how everyone but Mom is aware of his girlfriend situation...even Pais. I couldn't even argue with his last statement. Boys! When does the girls are nasty phase start?

I'm missing 2 things today...

Cafe Rio's Sweet Pork Salad (YUMMMMMMO)

&

Ben Barbeau!!!

Whats a girl to do!?!

My baby went to Pre-K

First, let me apologize for the pictures, it was so humid this morning everything on the camera was fogging up. Totally annoying and I didn't realize it was this bad.

Today my lil Paisley ventured into the big world of Pre-k. Ok yikes...I'm totally old and all alone now...just me and the mutt at home.

Paisley loved it and didn't even hesitate in going. Last night she asked me if I would just drop her off at the door of the school because she was big enough to find her own class. They grow up way too fast!

I was one of those moms...ya know the ones that get all teary and sentimental over sending the kids off to school. I lingered too long and Pais invited me to leave and told me not to hurry back to get her....WHAT!?! Where is the love? Last year I couldn't get rid of her this year she apparently feels she cant get rid of me. She did inform me though the best part was playing and the worst part was doing work...uh oh!

I filled the void of being kid less with a delish breakfast with my dear friend Lori who happens to make alot of Pais clothes so she took advantage of my traumatic morning and gave me a lil one on one designing and retail therapy...her new fall line is out and Pais is going to be decked out and fabulous!

Paisley Bop...here's to 4 days a week of silence and not being yelled at for not making your hair bow match ooh so perfect...despite our differences and occasional clashes you my dear dear child will be missed!

I love you...guess your no longer my baby!

Isnt she the CUTEST Pre-K girl you've ever seen!?!

Time Flies...

Yesterday was Eastons first day of Kindergarten....I can not believe he is old enough for that! Where did the time go?
He was excited of course and had his uniform laid out and ready to go since Sat night. The first day was a hit other then a few mom mistakes (no drink in his lunch, almost late on the first day, some missing supplies, and he was the last to get picked up...OOPS!)
Most of the same kids from his pre K class are now in his Kindergarten class which he loves. He was quick to inform Pais and I he's the only boy at his table and then told us probably 20 times he sure was glad to see Molly. A Girl huh!?! All I heard all day once he got home was "can you believe it mom, Im a kindergartner, Im going to be so so so smart now." Nope, I cant belive it! What happened to my fat squishy baby?
Today his day didn't go as well and upon further prying this was his explanation "Molly, ya know my friend thats pretty and nice to look at, threw up and had to go home this morning even before lunch! I had no one to look at" (Yikes...hes a starer and a stalker!?!)
HMMMMM my 5 yr old has a lil crush I think.

Look how handsome he looked all dressed for school

(doesnt look like that at all when I get him back though)

I LOVE YOU my lil KINDERGARTNER

I can't wait to see how much smarter your going to be when this year is over!

Super Cute...Super Easy...Super Cheap!

Pais has been seen around town sporting this newest fashion trend and let me tell ya I'm getting waaaaay too much credit for these shirts! First of all my mom helped with them (OK wait, she did most the work) second of all they are super easy...I mean 15 minutes easy and third like $5 cheap...whoa nelly right...yeah I know! So let me tell you about them. Sorry about the model...she refused to be cute she said...yup she succeeded.

Get 2 bandannas and some ribbon (that's it...told ya cheap and easy) Pull out you sewing machine dust it off and here we go...

Pick the tops of your 2 bandannas then take the width of your ribbon plus a little, fold over and sew. This will be the "neck" and the casing for your ribbon.

Measure down from the ribbon casing 6 in and sew to the bottom on the side. This will make the armholes and obviously sew your front to your back.

Cut 2 pieces of ribbon the length of the shirt plus about 10 inches and thread it through and TA DA your done!

So here's the best part...ya ready...one size fits all. Have a baby? Perfect its a dress. Have a toddler? Pair it with leggings and its a shirt dress. Have a older child? Put it with shorts and its just a shirt. Is it cold where you are? Who cares put a turtleneck under it...super cute I promise!
If you live by a Hobby Lobby consider yourself lucky...they have tons of way cute choices for bandanna's...even some with rhinestones! Love it? So do we!
Get creative! We have one with boa type feathers on the bottom...jealous...I knew it!

HAVE FUN! Pais has about 6 of them and we cant stop ourselves there toooooo cute!
