Babysitter Extraordinaire!

The little girls BEG me to go out lately. They want 'Bubba' to babysit them. And guess what? She wants to do it! Madison is a fabulous babysitter. She plays with the girls - board games, puzzles, wii, etc. She feeds them, bathes them if I ask her to. Lately, they've been doing nails and makeup, if I'm gone long enough. A few days ago, I took the middles to swimming, and this is what I came home to:
Aren't they GORGEOUS?? crazy what makeup does, though - Bubs is growing up so fast!

And then today I ran a few errands. Of course, the littles wanted to stay with Bubba instead of coming with me (I even tried to entice them!!) And I was surprised with a fashion show when I got home! The skirts are a little short for my liking - they're ones we usually wear with leggings, but they're beautiful and having such fun being 'models'. They have their hair straightened, along with their make up.

Introducing, my cute LITTLES!! (Courtesy of our fabulous babysitter!!)

Proud to be a Detroiter?

I saw my friend, Tia's blog tonight and just had to say *something*. I'd been biting my proverbial tongue the last couple of days. There really HAS been more violence lately, it seems. It's like there was a tidal wave that began a while ago, and it's just gaining momentum and leaving a mess in it's wake. This article, while it had me giggling with the comparison of the two mayors with the first & last paragraphs, leaves me quite cold. I do hope that someday we will see an amazing turn around. This city has such an amazing history, and has the potential to once again be a great place. . . I've been wanting to share this video of a commercial that's been playing here. It gives me chills. There really are so many wonderful things about Detroit. . .. We just have to sometimes sift through the sand to find the treasures. . . Click here to watch the commercial. And the Forbes article: America's Most Dangerous Cities Zack O'Malley Greenbu...

The Revealing!

  The Problem:   Tight financial situation. . . too many places our money needs to go! The Challenge:   To not spend any money on school clothes for the girls. . . Use fabric that I already have, clothes I already have, etc. The Result:  A *LOT* of fun!  The girls loved being able to be a part of the designing and making process.  I had fun knowing that I've hardly spent anything, yet the girls have a few fun new outfits for school!   Total Spent:  Less than $15.  This includes the new t-shirts with a couple of the skirts I made, a cute piece of fabric I have yet to use, and some elastic!  Everything else came from our own house! Vivien's First Outfit:   Her skirt is made from an old pair of blue cords that ALL four girls wore.  Vivs wore them last winter, and they were going in the goodwill box until I saw an idea online to make old jeans into skirts. . . this is what I came up with.  The material I bought when I was pregnant with Lillian!!  It was planned to be a nighty. . ....

Bye Bye Miss American Pie. . .

Here's the update I've been dreading to write. . . we got official word today that we need to be out of the country in less than 3 weeks. Our heads are reeling what that means in terms of when we can come back, what to do with our house, cars, etc, in the meantime. We've been doing our best trying to plan for the future in spite of all of this. Vivien's ready for Kindergarten here, Madison's found an *amazing* middle school. We are planning. . . "If you build it, they will come." So, if we 'build' our future, will we see it happen that way? We sure hope so. I cannot express enough gratitude for all of the letters that were written on our behalf. Those have buoyed us up during this time, learning how we've touched the lives of people we really value, and who've touched us as well. Thank you for taking time out of your own daily struggles and busy schedules to support us in this way. We've been told, by the liaison that we're ...
