Sunday... Rainy Sunday....

Well today has been a waste of a day... It's icky outside and we are stuck inside... Good thing we live in Southern California because I wouldn't last anywhere that had REAL rain.

We have done nothing but lounge around all day...

Well I did get started on my Easter mantle and a few Subway Art prints done for some friends, but other than that... NADA

Here are the kids getting some last minute jumps in before the rain comes...

even the cat was feeling lazy... oh wait, she's always like this! 

we clearly have cabin fever!!! we've gone mad!

Starting to bust out the Easter stuff...

I think I need to make a banner and get some fake grass! 

Love the subway art... This is not mine but a free download that I got from Eighteen25. If you haven't been to her blog... you need to NOW~ She's pretty much... THE BOMB!!! I want to be like her.... and the Pioneer Woman... oh and my friend Amy (Amy doesn't have a blog because she is too busy being wonder woman)!!!! A combo would be great!!! 

Anyway... enjoy the very last bit of your weekend!!! 

I'm gonna go and stomp around in rain puddles! Just kidding, I already have a cold, probably shouldn't try and catch pneumonia!

Boogie Boogie Boo

So I've been going back and forth on whether I should write this... but I decided that this is my random ramblings so why not.

Yesterday at lunch,  I got a call from Boogie's teacher letting me know that she thinks that Boogie may need her eyes checked. She passed the school vision test a few months back so we never worried about it... Well I came home and asked around for my friends to recommend a local pediatric optometrist. That same day at 2pm we were in the optometry office getting Boogs' eyes checked (I'm totally not an alarmist).

Now this is where I struggled on whether I should write this or not... I am so very lucky to have healthy children when so many are not so fortunate! So I felt like it was stupid to get upset about my child may or may not needing glasses. But as a mother, no matter how small the issue, it's very sad to think that something may be wrong with your child.

Let me tell you, it was heartbreaking to see my little girl struggle with a line of letters and get scared because she could not see them. But as a parent, we remain strong for our littles to let them know that they will be okay!

So it turns out that she has an astigmatism in her right eye. Which she most likely got from her father who has one in his left eye. As of right now, she only needs to wear glasses to school and when she does her reading and homework at home.

Luckily Boogs is at an age where she is super excited for getting her glasses! She looks at it like a cool new hair bow or a necklace... Just another super cool accessory! and let me tell you that I am very thankful for that. You never want your child to feel "different".

Here is Boogs trying on  glasses...

and here are the glasses that we picked... 

She cannot wait to pick them up next week!!!! 

 

Rock and Roll

So today my Boogie's kindergarten did a Rock & Roll Jog-a-thon... It was so cute! I love how her school is so good at getting the kids active and outdoors!!!

Enjoy the pictures!

This picture cracks me up!!! She's so dramatic! Chariots of fire goes through my head when I see this!
