Wordful Wednesday - A pedi for Dad!

Yesterday the girls found some of their nail polish and wanted to paint their nails. So I let them. Then they wanted to paint mine, no problem. They did my finger and toes, they did pretty good I might add, only getting a little paint on the skin. Well, they didn't want to stop there. They asked there dad if they could paint his nails too and he said no way. They said well how about just your toes. They were so convincing that he needed this done that he agreed, reluctantly! They were very serious about their task at hand (or foot) they made sure he had all three colors, pink, purple and glitter polish. Very cute. His toes look very pretty for a man. I'm sure before he had kids never, ever pictured himself getting his toenails painted by anyone! Well, the pictures below prove just how much dad will do for his little girls.

Here's Kayla working on Dad's pedi!

and Chloe too!

You can just see the concentration on Chloe's face and Kayla's hand cracks me up, so girly!

Kitty-sitting!

We are going to Orlando next week for Thanksgiving to visit family and spend a day or two at Disney. I called my neighbor to see if her daughter, Cara can take care of our two kitty's, Harley and Buddy, plus feed the fish while we are gone. She's done it in the past and I would usually bring her back a t-shirt or something like that. I was thinking about paying her this time, since she's 12 now and probably would like to make some extra cash. I don't even know how much babysitting, kittysitting, anything like that cost nowadays! I was thinking maybe $5.00/day which would be $35.00. Or give her $25.00 and bring her something from Disney. I'm going to discuss it with her mom first to make sure that's okay with her. I think I'll ask her to bring in the mail too. I think $35.00 is fair or is that too cheap.

Her tasks would be:

Feed them

Give them fresh water.

Clean their litter box (that itself deserves cash!)

Let Buddy out and in during the day so he can have his daily adventure.

Feed the fish

Play with the kittys for a few minutes

Bring in the mail

I'll talk to her mom tonight and see what she says! I might be way off!

Singing Out Loud!

I recently won an Sansa Fuze mp3 player. I have to say I absolutely LOVE IT! It is so extremely easy to use and I rarely leave home without it. I take public transportation to work and it's so nice to just put on headphones and drown out all the bus babble!

The only hard thing is trying to sit still when a great song comes on. I don't want to look like some weirdo tapping my foot or dancing in my seat or belting out the words while sitting on the bus with 50 strangers!! Even when I go for a walk with my music by myself, it's hard to refrain from singing out loud. I love singing out loud! It doesn't matter that I am a horrible, horrible singer and 1/2 the time I mess up the words. It's just fun! That's the plus about driving you can sing at the top of your lungs and no one hears you or really even sees you and even if someone does see you at least it's only a few seconds, so who cares!

On my commute this morning I decided to come up with a list of my 10 favorite songs at the moment that I'm rockin' out to on my Sansa Fuze and wishing I could just sing out loud!!!

1. In this Life - Delta Goodrem

2. come on get higher - Matt Nathanson

3. It's Not My Time - 3 Doors Down

4. i'm yours - Jason Mraz

5. better in time - Leona Lewis

6. the time of my life - David Cook

7. hot-n-cold - Katy Perry

8. gotta be somebody - Nickelback

9. Born to be My Baby - Bon Jovi (really anything Bon Jovi!!!)

10. Bottle It Up - Sara Bareilles

Not necessarily in that order. What are some of your favorite tunes now? And are you singing out loud??

Wordful Wednesday - Cruisin'

Kayla has this new thing where as soon as she gets in the car she climbs up front, puts on my shades and turns the key forward so the radio comes on. I usually just leave my keys in the ignition so I always know where they are. I'm going to have to take my keys out now, because sooner or later she'll figure out how to start the engine and they'll really be crusin!

Sunday morning I was upstairs in my bedroom and I heard bass. I'm thinking what the heck is that, then it quickly dawned those little stinkers must be in the garage, in my car. So I ran downstairs and discovered them on an imaginary road trip jammin to Low by Flo Rida. I think a video camera would have done this more justice, it was pretty hilarious!

At least they know to buckle up for safety!!

Little Angels

Since the girls go to a Catholic pre-school they don't dress up for Halloween. Instead the pre-schoolers dress up as angels and parade throughout the school, visiting several classrooms. Then they had a little party. All the kids looked so cute in their costumes, I wish I could have stayed to take pictures. But since I don't have my "clearance" yet I couldn't volunteer. I'm working on getting my clearance so I can attend a few parties this year. I had no idea so much was involved to be able to help out, classes, background checks, etc. But I guess it's a good thing, everyone wants to make sure the kids are safe.

I think those halo's were really bugging them since they kept falling off. I'm not even sure if they wore them during the parade. Probably not!

Moon, moon, moon shining bright...

I took these pictures last month during the full moon, obviously. The sky was so dark and the moon was so bright, even though it was around 7:00am. They turned out okay for never attempting a moon picture before.
