Remember This Guy?

This is when Turken was a baby. Remember how ugly he was?

Now look how handsome he is!

Maybe Her Name Should Have Been. . .

Grace!This is my dear Drama Queen's chin. She tripped on the school bus and hit her chin on the base of the window sill. Poor thing. She's such a trooper! I took her to the ER and they did 2 internal stitches and 3 to close the wound up on the outside. She didn't cry, or even wimper.
Here she is showing off that cute smile of hers, wearing her favorite shirt. It says, I come with my own background music. She enjoyed her visit at the ER and the staff there made her feel great. When the doc was checking to see if she could walk, he had her walk away from him about 20 feet or so. Then, he told her to stop, turn around and "model walk" back to him. That girl worked it and had about 5 staff members stop and cheer her on and even clap for her. She knew she was a star!

I love how fun she is. She's such a sweet heart and knows how and when to have fun. She's a tough cookie and such a trooper.

For the next two weeks, she will be sporting fall's newest fashion. "Tough Girl"

Big Daddy's Adventures

At times, Big Daddy has to travel for work. Don't worry, I told them to act sad for this picture. When he does travel, he packs this giant bag. Each of the girls gave it an honest try to see if they could carry it. It made for some great laughs right before Bid Daddy had to leave.Drama Queen pulling with all her might! She's a tough one, got it to budge just enough to knock her over.

Pretty much Drama Queen looked just like her big sister, Diva, does in this one.

Cowgirl gave all she had and didn't get it to move an inch.

Miss priss tried and basically knocked the bag over so I staged this photo. The bag is bigger than her and for sure weighs at least double what she does.

So, how many of Big Daddy's girls does it take to lift this giant bag???

All 4!

I love Cowgirls face, looks like she's the only one trying.

This is our countdown chart. One globe per day of travel. It's in the hall where everyone can see it all the time. The girls can say and kiss their Big Daddy goodnight every evening on their way to bed.

This time, he's gonna have fun and keeps telling everyone his work is sending him on a cruise for his birthday. We sure are gonna miss him.

How Much Would You Pay?

Diva has become an entrepreneur. What are her wares??

Well, let me tell you the story of how I became aware of her profits. The other day I took the girls out for a super cheap supper of 2 dollar menu items per person. As we were finishing our meals, Cowgirl asked if we could have ice cream. Typically, when we do the dollar meal plan, I do let the kids get dessert after we are all done. Well, I told them it wasn't in the budget and that we wouldn't be getting anything more. So, Diva offers to pay. Do you have any money, I ask her. Yes, I have $4 in my wallet. (I know everything she has earned from us is in the bank.) So, I again say no to the ice cream and ask more as to where she got this money. This is her story:Well, the other day Rich Kid wanted one of my silly bandz so I told him he could have it for a dollar. Then, I sold another one to another Rich Kid who also paid a dollar. Oh and I got another dollar from a Rich Kid on the bus, he wanted some of the caramel popcorn you sent with us as a snack on the bus and so I sold him 1 piece of caramel corn for a dollar. At this point in the game, I'm shoked. I'm sure my eyebrows were in my hairline and my chin was resting on the table. Oh yeah, and remember the day I took my gum to school (it's ok her teachers let her chew gum), a Rich Girl offered to buy some. She wanted 3 pieces for a dollar and I didn't want to give her three pieces so I gave her a piece and a half for $1, and she paid me for it.

What could this kid do with Bubble Tape??? Sell it by the inch???

Don't worry, we talked to her and told her not to take advantage of others and she needs to be more ethical in her sales.

She's One Smart Kid!!!!
