Misadventures in Mommyhood: Bummin Around with Dancers

The Oldest

Sage is the oldest of our three children. She is a sensitive, caring and very sweet teen girl. She says that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is already growing up way too quickly for me. I am very proud of her for many reasons. She is a pre-ap, GT student with (almost) straight A's and is kind to everyone even if they are not kind to her. She has also broadened her horizons in the food catagory which I am very happy about. She has tried new things such as brocolli and asparagus and absolutely loves them! I like to think that we have done a pretty good job so far with her. Before long, she'll be all grown up and on her way to creating her own life!

The Boy

Raiden is the crazy part of our children. He looks and acts just like his father which can be good, but not so good at times. They do seem to share a similar temper and that's the not so good part. He's a real sweetheart, though. He is Momma's boy but is definitely all boy. I am very proud to say that he is now a Webelo rank in the Cub Scouts and plans on sticking it out till he makes Eagle. This week he tells me he wants to go into the military and that couldn't make me any prouder. He has also expressed intrest in being an astronaut, a teacher, a spy and a fireman just to name a few. He really believes he can be all of those and so do I. He is my Boo-Boo Bear after all!

Bummin Around with Dancers

We had a great time for halloween this year. Both of the girls dressed as Harajuku girls, which I explained in this post. Raiden was hobo. The best part was just before we were to head out and as the first set of trick-or-treaters showed up at Poppy and Memaw's house. One of the little boys looked right at Raiden and said, "Hey, you're a bum!"

Just a downtrodden, hardworking hobo.

Looking very tired

ok, just tired of Mom taking pictures

Then we have my girls.We did a kool-aid dye job on Sage's hair.

I would never claim to be a cosmetologist, because that foil wrapping stuff is hard!

It turned out to have a nice orangey-red tint to it though.

We even tried to put some in Kaitlan's little bit of hair, but it didn't turn out. Mom was scared to leave it on too long. We all know how the little ones want to touch and explore everything. This was cute, though.
