No!!!! Not Jane Austen!!

I love Target. Everyone and anyone who knows me knows this. And I looooooove to read. Again everyone and anyone who knows me most definitely knows this. I love classics. I love classics so much, that I don't want them touched by another writer. And I love Jane Austin. My absolute all time fave rave classic is Pride and Prejudice. My second favorite of Jane Austen's is Sense and Sensibility. So imagine my horror when I walked down the book isle in Target and saw this....

Sense and Sensebility and Sea Monsters!

and

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

Both novels were rewritten by someone named Seth Grahame-Smith. Why would someone do that? Why would someone take such a loved classic and turn it into such a monstrosity??!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fashionista? Or just plain nuts?

Kaylin is a funny girl. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like. And she likes her legwarmers!
We had two cold days this past week. I was in heaven. Kaylin and Konner, on the other hand, were not! They wanted to go outside and play. So I told them both to put on sweaters, pants, and shoes and socks. Konner argued with me. So I told him to put it all on or stay in the house. He opted to stay inside. Kay, though, went up the stairs to her room while Konner was arguing. A few minutes later, she came down the stairs in this......

She seems to think that legwarmers can take the place of pants and a pj top works as a sweater!!

Today we were getting ready to leave to meet a friend of mine for lunch. I laid Kaylin's clothes out on her bed and told her to get dressed. I then went downstairs to get the bag ready to go. And this fashionista child of mine comes down the stairs in this get up saying in her little mouse voice "I ready to go, mom!"

Oh goodness. She's starting to scare me now.

Win or lose.....?

Konner's team lost 2 - 3 this last Saturday. Or did they? Is it really a loss when they made 2 of the other team's 3 goals? I'm not kidding. The other team made 1 of their goals. Their first goal was made by our own Tonia, who kicked the ball straight into the other team's goal. And their second goal was made by our own Bryant when the other team threw the ball in and it hit Bryant in the head and bounced into the goal. So the final score ended up being 2 - 3 in their favor.

This video clip is of Konner kicking the ball in to his team.

Konner's school picnic

Konner's class had a picnic at the park on Monday. It was fun to watch Konner playing with kids from his class.

Kylie wanted to eat Aunt Becky's necklace. Real bad.

Kaylin was so thrilled that she made it across the turning balance circles.

Patrick, Konner, and Ryan

Lagan saying cheese

She was so ready to be picked up.

Ballerina Girl

Kaylin was feeling a bit left out that Konner gets to play soccer and go to school and she doesn't. So Mike and I decided to put her in a dance class. And she is LOVING it!

It's a half hour class. The first 15 minutes is ballet. Colleen is an awesome teacher for little girls. She has great patience with them, and she continues to teach and do even when sometimes the girls would rather be butterflies!

The last 15 minutes is tap. The girls love the sound of their shoes clomping around on the floor.

Below are videos of Kaylin dancing. She's such a cutie in her little outfit and legwarmers!
