An Award and a Meme.....
I received an award from Debbie!
Thanks Debbie! I will now to pass this award on to Melanie. Speaking of Melanie, she has tagged me! She wants to know a little bit more about me. I'm really not all that interesting, and that is why I blog about the kiddos! So here are some of the questions I need to answer:
What was I doing 10 years ago?
It was May 1998, and I was 23 years old. We had already been married for almost two years and we were waiting for Karlie to be born. I was about 6 months pregnant! I was working as a customer service representative for Alpha Shirt Company. It was a great job, but as soon as Karlie was born I quit, so that I could stay home with her.
Five things on my to do list for today.
Take Karlie to the bus stop, Clean, do laundry, work in my garden, take Rylie to Messy playtime.
Three of my bad habits.
worrying, not sticking to my diet, and complaining too much.
What would I do if I was a billionaire?
Buy a bigger house in the same neighborhood I live in now, Buy a shore house, Buy houses for family, Donate money to church, Ds awareness, and to Alpha Pregnancy, Hire a nanny and a maid every once in a while.
Five places I have lived.
4 different neighborhoods in Philadelphia -Tacony, Northwood, Port Richmond and Mayfair and now we live in a suburb right outside of Philly.
Five jobs I have had.
Cashier, Bank teller, Cust Service rep, shampoo girl and Hairstylist.(I am currently a hairstylist and SAHM)
and I was also tagged with
4 places I go over and over:
1. Karlie's bus stop
2. Grocery store (Giant)
3. Target
4. ? I don't get out much to be going anywhere else over and over again.
4 people who e mail me:
1.Dawn
2.Vicki
3.Michelle
4.Colleen
4 of my favorite foods:
1. Italian
2. BBQ chicken
3. Chicken cesear salad
4. Roast beef
4 places I would rather be right now:
1. a beach
2. Disney World
3. Shopping for fun stuff like, clothes, shoes, house decor etc.
4. At the movies w/ Vince
4 movies I could watch over and over again:

Field Day!
Today was Field Day at Karlie's School. All of the kids go out to the field and compete in different games. Here is Karlie's class heading down to the field
Karlie did an awesome job competing in all the games!
Cesalie was nice and content in her stroller watching her big sister play games!
Until a whole bunch of 3rd grade girls decided to make a big fuss over her!
Then she wanted out of the stroller, and she cried and cried and cried!
After she calmed down, we continued watching the games! Karlie had fun and must have been exhausted after all that running around. Next year it will be fun and interesting to see how Rylie does playing the games. The games are competitions. They actually have a winning team, not every one wins, and that is how it should be!
I did have to cut out a little bit early, so I will find out later if Karlie's team won.
Reminder, you still have some time left to enter the Barnes&Noble givaway! Winner will be announced tomorrow!

IEP
We had Rylie's IEP meeting yesterday. The best part about it was I was able to sit in a room and talk to adults with no children around for two hours! LOL! I'm kidding. The meeting went well. Rylie will be going to our home school next year. She will be in a regular kindergarten class intergrated with special ed kindergarten. They have a really good inclusion program at the school. We were satisfied with all of the goals listed. She will be receiving an hour of ST, OT and PT each week. I haven't officially signed anything yet and I STILL have thoughts running through my head, but I really can't get too worked up about kindergarten anymore. Rylie has a lot of school years ahead of her and I'm sure there will be some battles in the future. But right now I am happy that she will be going to school with her sister, and she will have a good amount of inclusion.
