I’ve been tagged!

The wonderfully creative Sheila from Baby Go Retro tagged me.

1. I am a total night owl. I can’t accomplish anything in the am. But from 6pm to who knows I get the most done burning the midnight oil.

2. I robbed the cradle. My husband is younger than me.

3. I was a total tomboy growing up. Much to my mom’s chagrin who bought me beautiful clothing. Sometimes if we were going shopping, she’d buy me something else to wear while were out so I didn’t embarrass her.

4. I grew up in Kansas. I graduated from KU the year we won the final four and I got to go to the game with my then boyfriend.

5. My grandmother is the coolest person I know; she taught me how to ride a bike, how to pitch a baseball, to say the Lord’s Prayer,… It didn’t hurt that she spoiled me rotten.

6. I love clothes, fashion, shopping, etc. My girls have WAY too many clothes; since having kids, I love buying for them so much more than myself.

7. I love to ride horses and used to team rope before having kids.

Here are the rules which you must abide by if you are tagged:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).

4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

3.Natalie K
4.Beth Cardwell
5.Andi
6.Carrie
7.Jaime

Woo! I’m totally new to all this.

November 2nd Christmas Portraits

I’ll be doing Christmas Portraits at the Lollipop Tree on Friday November 2nd from 1 to 7pm.
Go in and see the beautiful items they have for the Holiday Season and beyond.

In an old house in Paris….

“In an old house in Evansville that was covered with vines,
Lived two little girls in two straight lines
In two straight lines, they broke their bread, brushed their teeth, and went to bed
They left the house at half past nine,
In rain or shine,
The smallest one was Madeline.”

My apologies to Ludwig Bemelmans for the creative lisence taken with his prose.
Madeline has been an all time favorite at our house for years. The spunky little heroine and her mischievous antics reminds us greatly of two certain little people.

I was glad that Ryan wanted to portray Madeline for the Fall Festival Pet Parade. Tate obligingly went along as Miss Clavel though she preferred to call her the hip hop nun! We’ve been doing the Pet Parade since Tate was little and the girls love walking down the street waving to the crowds.

Here’s my mischievous Madeline and her hip hop nun.
