New Pics I Took of Ursula

As you can see, she didn't want to take pics... The one in the middle was the result of me making her smile with something I said or did...

The Girls

Ursula & her cousin, Olivia. Olivia's older by 3 mths.

People think they're twins we're all together :)

Calista & her cousin, Soleil. Calista's older by 8 mths.
Soleil's a little taller. They don't get mistaken as twins. lol

Ursula as a Geisha Girl on Halloween 2009.

Calista as a Southern Belle/Scarlet O'Hara for Halloween 2009.

Health-wise, the girls are doing great :D

Calista's having problems at school (5th)... as in making bad grades :( She's been grounded for the first 2 report cards... two F's on them... and inconsistantly too... she has A's, B's, & C's in some subjects... Thankfully, her teacher sent home a website that has all four of her teachers' sites along with homework assignments... so, now I'm checking to make sure she does the homework that's on the sites... not just what she tells me she has to do.

Ursula's doing well in school :) Of course, Calista wasn't having problems in 1st grade either... not until she got to 4th grade.

Its funny how different they are. Ursula has been moody since day one. Calista's more happy-go-lucky... which is probably why she sees no problem with making bad grades in school. She's just more into arts & crafts. I'm trying to get her to read more (she checked out Twilight!!! from the library for A.R.). Anyways... Ursula's very concerned about her school work and doing well.

I decided to buy Calista a camera for Christmas and Ursula a MP3. I just know they'll LOVE these gifts! That's their big gifts... I bought them both boots. Birthstone jewelry. Learning PC games. They're gonna love their presents! Oh, on Craigslist, there's a guy with older computers that he formatted, fixed up, etc... for $50 to $75 each. I asked Jeremy to buy one for the girls. They have my old one but one of the RAM chips is burnt so, the computer shuts down for the simpliest games (the educational ones they already have)... its just fustrating to them, so, they barely want to use it :( So, hopefully, Jeremy will buy one of those PCs from that guy and that'll be a nice gift for them as well :)

New Haircuts

I love that my sister, Cherie, is a cosmetologist :D
She was at my house because of hurricane Gustav and the girls needed at least a trim, so, Cherie lovingly complied :D

I asked Calista why she wasn't smiling for the pics and she was like, "Well, you know how when people lose weight and they look all sad in their 'before' pics... that's what I'm doing."

And now her happy 'after' pictures... lol
Calista actually wanted Cherie to cut it short... like a bob or something. Jeremy compromised and said she could cut it shorter, but not shorter than her shoulders.
I was okay with her cutting it because she hates brushing or fixing her hair. Hopefully, it won't take much to get her to brush it now...

Bare in mind that no styling tools or products were used...
Their haircuts look much cuter now that they hair got used to its new look :D

Ursula had decided to chop the sides of her hair the day before school started... so, Cherie's just evening it out and cutting bangs for her.

Ursula loves her hair... as does Calista.

First Day/Week of School 2008

It was Ursula's first day of Kindergarten and Calista's first week.

Ursula picked out the headband and just had to wear it... but, didn't want me to tie it in the back... just wear the ribbon fall on her shoulders :)

Calista's in 4th grade this year... tons of books...

Wyatt had to get in the picture too... 'cheese me'... lol He's eating his breakfast... a pb&j sandwich. I didn't wake him up until right before we had to leave.

Ursula in her own desk :D The kids were asked if they could find their desks... she, of course, found hers :)

Calista after coming home from school... same day :D

I feel bad because I forgot to bring my camera the first day of school for her this year!!! I had to bring both girls... Ursula had an hour of testing... and I guess I just was so occupied with making sure we had all their supplies together that bringing a camera just slipped my mind!
