My Girls Are Growing Up...

and I have mixed emotions. I'm so happy and proud of the little ladies that they have become, but I'm also missing my little baby girls too...

A Bit Ironic...

but maybe they'll take their own advice. As a Floridian who loves her Coastline, I can only hope and pray.

I Must Be A Queen...

because my daughters are little princesses.





These two can walk better in heels than some women I know!

To All Of The Wonderful Moms That I Have Been Blessed To Have In My Life...

You make a difference in the lives of your children.

Not Sure Why...

but I'm kinda excited about this movie.



This isn't the type of movie that I would normally chose to see either.



Also concerned that I think Robert Downey, Jr. is really hot...



Normally I really dislike guys with goatees.

Am I the only mom who is really excited about Iron Man 2?



This is just so weird for me to be this way about a movie.

Just and FYI for you...My husband has already purchased advanced tickets for our Friday Night Date. :0)

Little Green Visitors Snuck Into My Yard

and look what they left behind!





I feel so loved!

Have I mentioned how much I love being a Girl Scout Leader?

I'm On A Roll Now...

it's been how many weeks since my last post and I do two in one day! Let's see if I can keep this up...

Had to share this photo with you all...



Bryleigh picked out her outfit all by herself today....is she a future fashionista or what!

Love this kid!

Remember Me?

I'm the one who use to post to this blog...that slacker blogger known as Scarlet O'Kara.

Cannot believe that it is been so long. Not sure if anyone is even reading any more.

If you are, hope you are doing well. I've been pretty busy with every day life, but hopeful that things will be slowing down soon.

Then I can get back to my blog.

The girls are doing well...







...and a nice, relaxing summer is in my sights.

Chat soon...

The True Sign Of A Sickly 2 Year Old

When they are sitting quiet enough for the cat to cuddle with them.

Hope you are having a great day.

Future Blogger In Training

hopefully she'll update more frequently than me!

I'm Back From The Holidays...

and will be uploading some photos later...but had to share this one.

Kyla lost her first tooth!



She is so excited.

Days 2 Of The Elf Invasion

So, our second day of having Tinsel and Sparkle went pretty well. The girls woke up early and ran into the livingroom to see the elves. They were surprised to find them gone from their window perches...and then searched the house looking for them.

They found the report from Sarge...



as well as Tinsel hanging from the kitchen table chandalier and Sparkle dangling from the microwave handle. Tinsel was mischevious and messed up some of the crayons that Kyla had left out, while Sparkle helped herself to some banana chocolate chip muffins. Would have shown some pictures, but they didn't turn out.

Tomorrow morning, the girls will hopefully enjoy the morning search again...

Midnight Visitors From The North Pole

About an hour and a half ago, I was getting ready for bed when I heard a commotion in the living room. When I went out to investigate, look what I found...



The elves that the girls requested have arrived.



This is Sparkle.



And this is Tinsel.



They even have a letter of introduction from their boss at the North Pole.



Hopefully the girls will be on their best behavior around these two.

Today Is My Baby's 2nd Birthday!

Here are just scenes from the great day that we are having today...

Cannot believe that it has been two years since this beautiful girl came into our lives...

Signs That My 6 Year Old Is Growing Up

(1) She is now waking up on her own and getting dressed without my help. I'm proud of her, but a part of me is also crying inside. She doesn't need me as much anymore...

(2) In front of the Special Assembly at her school today, she told everyone that she was going to be a ROCK STAR when she grows up.

(3) Just look at this photo...



Where did my little girl go?
