Twilight...need I say more?!?

Twilight. That is the name on many people's lips and thoughts lately. Yes, I am one of those "Twilight Moms". Funny I should say it that way...somedays I don't even FEEL like a mom. Today I got my materialistic prized possession of the month, possibly of the whole year. The 2 disc special edition from Borders, complete in it's own glorious casing, with pics as well. Here is a link to it...it's gorgeous! http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=025192022326 Not only that, but I am the envy of Kayla, hehe. Only because she is the ultimate Twilight fan *or so she thinks*. There is something about having something that my daughter wants but can't have that shoots a small thrill up my spine. Do other parents think like that? I don't know, lol. I thank my mom immensely for gifting it to me for Valentine's Day.

Heading off now to watch it...my wonderful, fabulous Vday present :)

Our Little "Poo~Doo Dinky"...

...Poo Doo Dinky is Leigh's nickname for Kaden. Isn't that cute? I guarantee you that no one else has that nickname. If I hear of anyone with that nickname soon, it's probably because they read my blog and thought it was cute too. Another nickname that has flown from my lips in regards to Kaden is "Tootsie". No clue why...in fact the girls think it's more of a girls' nickname. But I have gotten a smile or two from Kaden when I call him that, so nah nah nah nah boo boo to ya! LOL...

Then of course is the nickname of "Little Butt", which both Leigh and I call him, as well as the girls. There has been a "Stinky Butt"<~~*Kayla*, "Skinny Butt"<~~*Madison* "Chunky Butt"<~~*Angel* and "Butt Butt"<~~*Kiara*. Why all the butt nicknames? I have no clue. The nicknames have just flown out of our mouths tons of times before. The older 4 AKA: "The Girls" have all grown out of their nicknames, which is sad to a point. The only one who's nickname has stuck has been Kiara...her nickname is "Schpunky". She tells me she is my Schpunky all the time, and family and friends call her that as well. I am sure we will have many more nicknames for Kaden, he IS only a month old after all! :)

Our girls' first day of school was yesterday. How fun is that??? 3 out of 4 of them were excited as all get out about it...one wasn't. Can you guess who? LOL...it was Kiara. She has been totally excited a long time to start Kindergarten, and then on Monday night she was freaking out. Which I really don't blame her. Going somewhere unfamiliar to me freaks me out as well. She was up all night Monday night/early Tuesday morning just crying her little eyes out. All parents were instructed to come to this first day of Kindergarten too...kinda like an orientation. So, I was going with her anyway, but she didn't care...she didn't want to go. Poor Kiara even hyper~ventilated and ran a fever over it all. So we get there, and she isn't "friendly" like the other kids *as was pointed out to me by another kid...and just sits to herself with her head on the table. Then, all parents were asked to follow the principal and counselor for a talk about having a Kindergartener at the school. Kiara clung to my waist like she was drowning and I was the lifesaving vest. I had to peel my body away from her sweaty hands...and leave with the other parents. I left with an apologetic look toward the brand new Kindergarten teacher...she looked very frazzled with all these hyper excited kids...and our Kiara. All of us parents went to "chat" with the principal and counselor, and when we got back I was told that Kiara stopped crying and had fun the whole time I was gone. They were at recess when we got back, and afterward we were allowed to go home, which we did. Then Kiara crashed at home into a deep sleep...and she is much better today, although she doesn't go back to school til Friday. We will see how she is all by herself for the whole day then :)

'Scuse the typos!!!

♥ My Little Boy ♥

As I sit here with Kaden in my arms, typing one handed...there are some things I want to say. First off, Kaden turned a month old on Sunday, August 24th. This past month has literally FLOWN by. I don't want any part of his life to fly by. It didn't seem this fast when the girls were this age. I felt then that I had more time to enjoy them being little little. And yet...I have the same amount of time to enjoy him, but that time is too quick. Leigh took Kaden to WIC today for me for the first time, since I had to go be with Kiara on her first day of Kindergarten...*more on THAT later :)*...and he is now 9 lbs, 14 ozs 21 1/2 inches long...up from 7 lbs, 15 ozs 19 inches long at birth. His head is 15 1/2 ?centimeters? around, and he is in the 50% *percentile* all around for everything.

So, I am starting this up again...

This is me...last week...lovely bathroom pic, lol...

...since the girls are all in school *YAY!!* I have a little more time in my busy day as a mommy to sit on here and gab so to speak. My plan now is to try and do SOMETHING to this blog everyday. Yeah, yeah...I know I said it before, but dang it...that was before. HA! So bear with me as I start it up for real again...
