Day 17

Day 17, Jan 17th

Mr. Gyro!

Have i mentioned that this is the best dog ever!!! He truly is the best.     REally!!

He likes to be lazy and just lie around.                He is such a good boy

He is very athletic too! look at that jump!! LOL 
(I taught him to jump over the gate so i wouldn't have to keep opening the door for him to get in and out of the play room)

OK so he's not a perfect angel and  has his moments.
Got Caught taking one of the girls half eatin sandwich......          Then ran from the scene!  =O

But still,  The best dog ever!!!  =)

Day 16

Day 16, Jan 16th

Come on!! what kid Doesnt do this!?!?!  LMAO! 

 Took a picture of her reaction after showing her the photo!! The both of us were hysterical..

I dont know how any one else, who is doing the project too, picks only 1 picture! i just cant do it!  I mean i pick a main photo but then i have to share what else i got!  LOL

Day 15

Day 15, Jan 15th

I couldnt decide what photo to chose for the day!  So Im picking 2 main photos.

I could just upload ALL the photos i took of my girls playing on the computer but ill spare ya! I picked a couple of others to share! 

I loved how the girls giggled together while they played on the computer!

 Then how serious they got.........

While they were playing i couldnt help to take some snap shots of their feet!!! (love the holes in the knees)

Day 14

Day 14, Jan 14th

ya, thats me!  My 5yr old actually took this picture. Thats right, my 5yr old!!!  lol  and no cropping or adjusting either =)  this isnt the first time she has taken such a great picture.. she definitely got talent just like her mom!!! 

 So the picture above wasn't taken today!  i just wanted something nice and of me as the first pictures

Here is the reason - I was very busy cleaning up the house and getting rid of junk that i seem to hold on to and yet never use. I then took a break to check MeRa's Blog, to find  that the SOAR recipients had been picked.   My heart sunk, then a rush of emotions ran through me.  I got up and just kept cleaning. I guess to keep my mind busy but was in no mood to pick up my camera.
It amazes me that even tho we went through this last year, I still got so upset. I tried to prepare myself for it this time! "even if i dont win, im still a winner!"  but wasnt enough.
eh, i just have to processes it as im sure many of us who were not selected need to do!

 here is a photo that I took of myself last year when we found out the winners for SOAR........

I feel the same way today!! 
but im not going to let this feeling drag on like i did last year.. i will feel like a winner (at some point..lol)

Day 13

Day 13, Jan 13th

It was this kind of a day........

I dont usually let her use my computer but i just needed a brake. Certainly kept her busy =)

Day 12

Day 12, Jan 12th

   Thumbs up for Hot Chocolate! When do you usually have hot coco??  Yup, after playing in the snow =) 

This is the 2nd snow storm we have had, girls got to play this time!  for snow storm #1 we were all sick and couldnt go out.  Today, they had so much fun just walking around.....

Day 11

Day 11, Jan 11th

Some kids have blankies, others have a pacifiers or a favorite doll to give them comfort.  Mine likes to play with the skin on her hand/wrist.

Nadia has been doing this basically since birth!  She does it when she is tired or when she needs comforting.   

Although i do find this cute and fascinates me how this is like her blankie, but i do hope it passes since she is marking up her hands from doing it. Poor thing hands are all dried up.. 

This is the look she gave me when i told her to leave her hands alone!

Day 7, Jan 7th

The girls and i went to a playdate today. The theme of the play date was Restaurant.  It was too cute.. the kids took their mommies orders then served the pretend food to them.

Here is Gia bringing my order to me.

Did you know that she wants to be a waitress when she grows up.. LOL its because of the movie Princess and the Frog. 

Day 6

Day 6, Jan 6th

This is my daughter Nadia, she is 2 1/2 and certainly into her terrible twos!  She was so cute sitting on my lap today and i knew if i got up to get my camera the mood would change. So i used my phone!  She looks so sweet and innocent here, like a sweet little angel!!   OH how i wish that was true!!!

She is a silly one, always making me laugh  but she has got a side that no one believes me she has....

She is tough, doesnt listen, always doing what she wants to do and today she was testing my patients big time!!  throwing fits left and right, hitting and biting, just plain rotten!!  I think she broke her record of the amount of time out she has had in one day!  Like I said... well into her terrible twos.......

Thank goodness she is cute cause i would have her packin!!!!   =P
