Chellisms

Smiles, Scrimmage & Smoothies

Been on the move since 6 AM.

Taylor got her expanders off and her phase I braces on. Bailey got her expanders on.

Joy of joys. Throughout the school day one managed to eat applesauce and the other took a ball to the face. I have since dosed them both with Tylenol.

I met six wonderful ladies for lunch. What started as Cynthia and I celebrating sending our youngest children off to kindergarten in 2007 has now morphed into celebrating everyones children being in school. Or something like that. We met at a kind of local Italian restaurant and had a great time. I do miss the old bus stop, for the most part. You girls know what I mean...

Soccer practice tonight. The kid already took one ball to the face today, what's one more? It's part of the game, suck it up buttercup. They did play a short scrimmage against the boys team and came away 1-0. Not too shabby.

The girls had Jamba Juice for dinner. Not food from JJ, smoothies, just smoothies. No chewing involved. I rock.

I have been carrying 3 ready to throw water balloons (in a grocery bag) in my purse since lunch and they were fine. I remember to take them out in my kitchen and two pop all over me. Not amused.

Crash and burn.

Auditions

New ballet studio, new routine. Baileys new ballet studio requires that all studios audition for placement in performances. Her last studio placed all students in level II or III and below in parts without auditions.

This past Saturday was Baileys first audition. She tried out for a part in the Nutcracker. She got some  good advice ahead of time and knew what to expect when we got there. We should hear something within the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed!

 

Red Instead

Tim and I see these two lovebirds around town all the time. When we grow up we want to be just like them. Except maybe we will have matching Jeeps or Range Rovers. Basically I have no balance and Washington drivers suck and I have no desire to be a Chelle pancake, so nothing with less than 4 wheels and a lot of airbags. And can I have red please?

First Day of School, 2009

Brand new school. Brand new everything. Except Bailey's darn boots, I hate those things. Grades 2 and 4, ages 7 and 9. Which is which? Hard to tell. Same height. Depressing for one, the other gloats. That would be Bailey, go figure.  

Taylor has a skirt on. Can't see it. Keroppi is in the way.

Sweaters in September, I know, right? Pacific Northwest, enough said.  

Complete sentences? Pshaw.
