Dress Up for School

Babysitting!

Calista and Ursula have their first babysitting gig tonight!  Our neighbor, Chelsey, is 23 and has 3 kids; but, only the youngest two will be home.  Emmett is 9 mths old and Lilly is 2 yrs old.  She's going to pay them $20.  My girls are excited:-D

Braces!

Got Ursula's top braces yesterday!  They gave her a splint/retainer for her bottom teeth.  It's job is to raise her bite so that her bottom tooth isn't pushing or keeping that top front tooth behind.
At first,  she didn't want me to take her to school after the appointment; but, then she ate, watched The Vampire Diaries, and decided she wanted to go!   So, I brought her... In time for 6th period!   Haha
By the time it came for dinner, her mouth was hurting :-(  She was in tears.  Said that the back anchors were pushing into her gums and hurting her.  Also, the wires were hurting the inside of her mouth.

Orthodontics

Brought Ursula to her first appointment Monday.  She is so excited!  They did her x-rays, photos, and mouth impressions. They put in two spacers on the top too.  She gets her top braces this Tuesday!

Zelda and the Girls

Our pup is a little bit spoiled... hehe

New Toy

Jeremy gave Ursula his Nexus tablet!  She's thrilled!  :-D

Ursula's 11 Year's Old!

My girlie-girl is 11 now! 
She's funny :-)
She is still moody... likes to argue and be contrary.
She doesn't like hugs too much from anyone other then her parents.

She's 59.5" tall
Weighs 94 lbs
Wears a size 12 or size 0 in clothes
Wears a size 7 shoe
5th grade... had a bad start but seems to be doing much better now.

Dating???

Well, Calista was asked on a date last night by one of her new friends, Jeremie :D  hehe  I told her I think she's too young to go on dates.  He asked her to go to the movies on Friday night and he didn't mind if I went with them... ha ha ha  I'd hope not!  LOL  Because, yes, she'll be chaperoned! :D

In the picture, Jeremie is the taller boy all the way to the left.

Height

Calista (14.5 yrs old)wants everyone to know that she is still taller than Ursula (10.5 yrs old)!  Hahaha

We suspect thay Ursula's going through or about to go through a growth spurt bc she's been getting seconds at dinner time!  She never did that and now it's a daily thing (for probably the last 2 wks or so)!

Reading???

Ursula went to the bus stop early... because?  She wanted to READ!!!  WHAT???  I'm like, ok... sounds good :-D. Her A.R. book; which is Charlotte's Web.

And here is a pic of her with our xxl pitt, Titan :-D. He's like 9 or 10 mths old :-D
Oh, Ursula has some purple contacts in... that's why her eyes look kind of freaky... LOL

Update on Calista & Ursula

They're doing well :)  Ursula's catching up to Calista... almost wearing the same sizes!  Ursula's foot is the same size as mine (size 6)!  Calista's foot size is a 7.  Ursula's wearing size 12's... and can fit some size 0's.  Calista's in a size 1.

Ursula is a totally animal person :D  Calista likes them allright... but, not quite like Ursula.  She likes her Guinea Pig though :)  And its a good thing Titan (our huge Pit puppy) is a good dog because all the kids love him :)  Ursula usually brings our cat, Cosmo, into her bunk bed when she goes to sleep and he stays pretty much all night!  ha ha ha  Calista's my height (5'2").  Ursula's not far behind.  Ursula's taking her LEAP test this week.  I'm sure she'll do fine and move on to 5th grade :)  Calista's doing ok in school and also taking some testing as well... not sure what it is though... ha ha ha

MACA's Winter Formal

Calista got to go to her first formal dance on Dec. 15th :)
I stayed and chaperoned... of course! ha ha
No, no date!
She and her friends just hung out, ate snacks, and talked :D

Calista & I before we left :)
Yes, she's my height :)

This is the door decoration she did :)

Just 2 Years Later...

LOL  OMG, I sure did slack on blogging, huh?  And for what reason?  I have no excuse... I mean, I really should have kept this up since I love reading my posts from years ago and what my kids were doing...

***BAD MOMMA!!!***

Well, Calista's 13½ and in 7th grade.  She's attending MACA; which stands for Magnet Academy for Cultural Arts :)  You can only attend this school if you get accepted.  You have to have some sort of talent that they can assist you with... such as singing, band, dance, acting, art, etc.  Calista is actually "state-identified" as gifted in visual arts :D  She LOVES her school!  

She's wearing a size 1 and a size 7 in shoes!  She's almost my height... so, she's either 5' or 5'1".

Ursula's 10½ and in 4th grade.  She's still at PBE; her last year... next year, its PBH!  Wyatt will be all by himself :-(

She wears a size 10 in clothes and size 6 in shoes (YES!!! My shoe size!!!).

We have their Halloween costumes!  Yay!  Calista will be Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Ursula is Monster High's Abbey Bominable. I will post pictures!
