Elli enjoyed being in 4 numbers this year, Addie danced in 2, and Millie tapped her heart out to "New York, New York." They open and close the show in their recital t-shirts and no pictures are allowed to be taken during the show so for now I have no costume photos. But check out their t-shirt designs; all I have to say is the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I kept telling them to pull their shirts up on their shoulders, but really who am I to criticize? (If you knew me when I was their age, you understand.)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqQ7btpcuqitM3Wy4Qg5Gyl-55oqB4m9ZUGLP9ASXuZ3NeNz6XxcV_eHbrMEc55MPixHfYgCfJvxCWiuVjBZAn9DRlUNLsxLhgEALVcMmDmdhJL-FvlHNMLPpo3Dc2ODjbNHg5w7HTNY/s1600/P1010788.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqQ7btpcuqitM3Wy4Qg5Gyl-55oqB4m9ZUGLP9ASXuZ3NeNz6XxcV_eHbrMEc55MPixHfYgCfJvxCWiuVjBZAn9DRlUNLsxLhgEALVcMmDmdhJL-FvlHNMLPpo3Dc2ODjbNHg5w7HTNY/s320/P1010788.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623516879071966914" /></a>Jocelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17313302261218975733noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67932309444580012.post-18838829796888918702011-07-01T07:39:00.000-07:002011-07-01T07:39:01.451-07:00Father's Day<div>We all know Jason is a simple man.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSGqQiiNptrKHdEAbUYz1iYl0eOzm3uN7RBYnI-Xhm9krdN3C3mrD03YHBjhcQCjNgufgbgz4vXCxT-jV7TSlQWTy9AfE76AV6OOkCprC1w0iN1_wFn77Uewi7HNqQpQY1hsOWxNNSriY/s1600/Short+King+Shoot+322.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSGqQiiNptrKHdEAbUYz1iYl0eOzm3uN7RBYnI-Xhm9krdN3C3mrD03YHBjhcQCjNgufgbgz4vXCxT-jV7TSlQWTy9AfE76AV6OOkCprC1w0iN1_wFn77Uewi7HNqQpQY1hsOWxNNSriY/s400/Short+King+Shoot+322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623514210882973026" /></a>When I asked what he wanted to eat of Father's day his answer surprisingly was not "whatever you make I am sure will be lovely, dear"; it was that he wanted a gourmet burger with meat from an actual butcher and buns from a baker and ingredients that mimic a real chefs inspiration. So, since I am such an awesome wife I ran around town buying the meat and bacon from the corner butcher who conveniently also sold fresh brioche buns for the local bakery, and Trader Joe's kindly sold all the other ingredients I needed. (micro greens, mustard garlic aioli - thought I was going to have to make that myself- smoked gouda, and maui onions that Elli caramelized to perfection.) <div>They turned out phenomenal, can't wait to make them again - stellar idea Jason.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54FqvwCGWjBBEbVtfAyYqNt2pIrKgQ2tR-P7MzMGETlLc4ttdLkuCG6BawXJNIjFb7v72J2m4nv9aHi_dzx8QbiVRW0j2HqXB0tJXdG_dpiaCyR71Y9xm784MgkebSy2OKyfbNkCUusA/s1600/P1010784.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54FqvwCGWjBBEbVtfAyYqNt2pIrKgQ2tR-P7MzMGETlLc4ttdLkuCG6BawXJNIjFb7v72J2m4nv9aHi_dzx8QbiVRW0j2HqXB0tJXdG_dpiaCyR71Y9xm784MgkebSy2OKyfbNkCUusA/s400/P1010784.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623514004849927890" /></a>F.Y.I.

As Addie was born I wanted to keep her sweet and precious and comfortable and tended to dress her in soft one-pieces; no more 0-3 month denim skirts or overalls with uncomfortable metal closures. And shoes didn't touch her feet until she was practically walking therefore necessitating them. I was even happier when Amelia came and they had Robeez, a fusion of shoes and socks; perfect!</div><div>So with a boy, the only thing that has changed is the overall color scheme, I still prefer the soft and comfortable clothes that keep him squishy and little. So today with the rain coming down outside and a full laundry basket waiting to be washed I thought it was a good opportunity for Max to wear his adorable baby shower gift outfit complete with corduroys and a sweater vest to church. We all gathered around as Jason called us in to see our "Little Man". Though there may not be hairbows for boys, he does have matching dinosaur socks. (and still no shoes)</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTFgRdtxVFCNtr_7d8J98LIusOJHJc4u4333fbaR0nkazTLp0Pibmnk8TYfSQf9EmY4CGy1N18GuXl4A7kmRQ8ngMdLLepjrZ6F14ATZE77-LfuCM-Vz3iGAlAJqIY9A3BomgZqnm_fk/s1600/P1010713.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTFgRdtxVFCNtr_7d8J98LIusOJHJc4u4333fbaR0nkazTLp0Pibmnk8TYfSQf9EmY4CGy1N18GuXl4A7kmRQ8ngMdLLepjrZ6F14ATZE77-LfuCM-Vz3iGAlAJqIY9A3BomgZqnm_fk/s320/P1010713.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607000042004875890" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We had to make some style choices; we went with sleeves rolled up one time and shirt untucked.

So with baby in tow I had to walk out during church, take him home, bathe him, feed him, put him down for a nap, spray and wash his clothes, do a quick wash cycle on hot water, and then another to really get the yuck out.

And those who know our family well know it is not just a finger or two in the mouth, the other hand likes to be busy also. So the buck stops here! I feel I need to explain to everyone why my 2 month old is wearing mittens that are too small for him; it is because I am trying my darndest to block a habit before it is formed. They only make tiny mittens for baby's first couple of weeks so Max's hands are for the majority of the day balled up. I hope I am not hindering any motor skill growth but I am one determined mama. He is on a merit system and if he has not been sucking on the mittens he can earn a recess where I work with him on grasping, but the moment I turn my back and hear the tell-tell slurp, 2 demerits are tallied and the mittens go back on.

Textbook says if I pick a theme and have adorable coordinating pumpkins where I dictate how each pumpkin will look in detail, one day my children will rebel on me and perhaps start wearing black eyeliner with matching lipstick. That won't be so adorable anymore. Textbook also says if I get out all my craft accessories and paints and let them have at it, quote-unquote boundaryless (visual but less effective "boundaryless") they will crave limits and also one day rebel; this time by possibly wearing too-risque of a costume all in the name of Halloween. So I presented many options using my crafts and paints and had each one of them decide and then tell me step by step what their decorating plan was. Upon approval they began and I think they came out very cute by themselves, together they look like the Land of Misfit Jack-o-lanterns.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluDI0tLncQKduM_2dgzzVVRUWI3K8fPGGXgVy8Ie0usIGq4d7REwkqJeScF03LsR5uQISy2lUZfylcVYi_3E6_yHwY7TOjgdKHKbwfGGvFbYCuXcXk9u5XdxELMIH2FQhXGBChauEn5U/s1600/P1000776.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluDI0tLncQKduM_2dgzzVVRUWI3K8fPGGXgVy8Ie0usIGq4d7REwkqJeScF03LsR5uQISy2lUZfylcVYi_3E6_yHwY7TOjgdKHKbwfGGvFbYCuXcXk9u5XdxELMIH2FQhXGBChauEn5U/s320/P1000776.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533152447809822674" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>This is mine/Jason's. </i></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I was going for the look "Yes, I can decorate a pumpkin without it looking girly"</i>.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Iap8gSjsmOsQkGdyln_FhsEnUjn2ZTB__6uvPDXcCtztUOD3HWXAJsIXdT-z_R4X6W2MgAoaYUhdiV-Kjz394IjVQm_BEX3KdH8XqRAwE13K5NWFhiXZEiVyxHRR-VZV9yxgqyGVaOM/s1600/P1000778.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Iap8gSjsmOsQkGdyln_FhsEnUjn2ZTB__6uvPDXcCtztUOD3HWXAJsIXdT-z_R4X6W2MgAoaYUhdiV-Kjz394IjVQm_BEX3KdH8XqRAwE13K5NWFhiXZEiVyxHRR-VZV9yxgqyGVaOM/s320/P1000778.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533152208171025266" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Elli spray glittered her pumpkin then pinned ribbons.</i></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0IuuOQY_aWVDfjjaC-uv5SEsyb9bbfhcsuLyiGOKda8G67jmwlN5idUckvEl7RwBZZlkvXYhTPyt6uGb1mQ4l52U_B4GB4PB3W8wEwGbR9o6NOhNOeKV0b-M340lZbgh2pdLLoN68dA/s1600/P1000775.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0IuuOQY_aWVDfjjaC-uv5SEsyb9bbfhcsuLyiGOKda8G67jmwlN5idUckvEl7RwBZZlkvXYhTPyt6uGb1mQ4l52U_B4GB4PB3W8wEwGbR9o6NOhNOeKV0b-M340lZbgh2pdLLoN68dA/s320/P1000775.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533151822899928354" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Addie choose "Sequins & Pearls" not to be confused with Prince's "Diamonds & Pearls" or Auntie Cami's "Diamonds & Roses".</i></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSn28rsiW5Q0NPa0UXKVpbJqQlIPTLJOFDkz4UsonYMr3P-PyAE_5krOC71Io1mxXuiDJgKQQo10d25RoJkMSkqGKxin8_RaJ9WtccNclXgg6vT17P27FsfDaBjrHUUnz70VQD02zOr6I/s1600/P1000780.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSn28rsiW5Q0NPa0UXKVpbJqQlIPTLJOFDkz4UsonYMr3P-PyAE_5krOC71Io1mxXuiDJgKQQo10d25RoJkMSkqGKxin8_RaJ9WtccNclXgg6vT17P27FsfDaBjrHUUnz70VQD02zOr6I/s320/P1000780.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533151436699437586" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>And Finally Millie wanted to match her costume this year with Cinderella's carriage.</i></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUQzrqIz8x5MJZQHTMzujLCTHuRYwClNokVLyKRwUfYQvSmeknJpQAdPeJVKB28lERMnw8JgZLUNemSZFoH_htXJgbA4PwUzNtwlFSTuCwNJblfsRZkwPv0soGgNWD7-JKwdYVKK0Vkw/s1600/P1000782.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUQzrqIz8x5MJZQHTMzujLCTHuRYwClNokVLyKRwUfYQvSmeknJpQAdPeJVKB28lERMnw8JgZLUNemSZFoH_htXJgbA4PwUzNtwlFSTuCwNJblfsRZkwPv0soGgNWD7-JKwdYVKK0Vkw/s320/P1000782.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533150993333108498" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Land of Misfit Pumpkins</div></div>Jocelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17313302261218975733noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67932309444580012.post-44655941348467317792010-07-25T18:56:00.000-07:002010-07-25T19:11:59.940-07:00Glass Bottom Can Kiss My...<div>On Thursday we took a glass bottom 2 1/2 hour reef tour leaving from Key Largo's Camp Pennekamp State Park.
