Would you like to buy some chocolates?

Today the girls went door to door trying to sell Niah's chocolates. Cinderella was having a bad hair day but that didn't stop her from joining Niah. They went to about 15 homes and only sold chocolates to two people. Some people slammed their doors on my girls or were super rude to them. Who can be mean to a 3 year old Cinderella and a 5 year old softball player? As their mama bear I wanted to say something to the ones who decided to be rude to my girls but I was expecting some of that so I had them say "thank you anyways" and move on.  They weren't very successful. Probably because they were selling at noon and most people aren't home so we took a drive to Nana's work and had the girls go in and try to sell chocolates there......within 20 minutes they had all 60 bars sold with an extra $4!!  Thank you Nana.
Makes me see kids selling candy in front of Target totally different now. I better have dollars in my purse at all times. I think it would break my heart and make me think of my girls faces if I ever said no to another kid selling chocolates. Good thing I don't like sweets or I would be in trouble.
    
Aren't they cute? Doesn't it make you want to buy a chocolate?

Happy 5th Birthday Syniah Grace

Syniah Grace,
        I don't think I really knew how much my life would change when I found out I was gonna be a Mama but 5 years ago today at 10:11am on April 13, 2008 my life was forever changed. I became a Mama to my beautiful Syniah Grace. Syniah you have given me 5 of the greatest years of my life and I am so lucky you chose me to be your Mama. Everyday you make me proud of who you are and excited for who you will become. You embrace the world and I love that you love with your whole heart. I love you Syniah Grace. I love that you are my Daughter but most of all I love that 5 years ago you made my dream come true. Happy 5th birthday my toothless softball player. Mama loves you more than you'll ever know.

Open house

Syniah had her first open house tonight. She was so excited to show us everything that she has made. It was really eye opening for Ervin and I. Open house? Isn't that for old people? Wasn't our daughter just born? All the parents did look older than us. They walked in the classroom with their teenage children and their preschoolers and look at Ervin and I as if we come from the show Teen Mom. Definitely weird but we are 30 and we do have a kid going into kindergarten as crazy as that may seam and a 3 year old who slept like a newborn in Ervin's arms the entire time. Our girls are growing up and tonight that really set in.

 We are so proud of Syniah and all her hard work. She walked around with a huge smile on her face. I really love that kid. I even love how she spells her name with an upside down "H" at the end. She is something special. We were proud parents tonight.
