Catelyn's Busy!

Seriously, this girl has a lot going on. From contacts to Cindy Crawford. Let's see.... Where to start.


  • On Wednesday, May 21, Catelyn had an eye appointment and she got contacts. She also had a loose bone embedded into her gums, which the dentist removed. (That was weird. Like a sliver, in her mouth.)
  • On May 23, she had to turn in her form to perform in the Talent Show. She'll be singing.
  • Today, May 27, her whole grade did their wax museum projects. Her glasses came in, so we need to go back to the doctor to have them fit.
  • On May 28th, she and her whole grade are going to Yellowstone.
  • On May 29th, she has an appointment for her contact check-up.
  • On May 30th, she has the Talent Show.
  • On June 3rd, she has her class party and they are going Rollerskating.
  • Mix into that some babysitting and piano, and the girl is booked!

But today, let's focus on her WAX MUSEUM PROJECT.
Nothing like a huge end-of-the-year project for an 11 year old. Catelyn's class did a wax museum and she was assigned to choose someone from Illinois that has had influence. After careful consideration, she choose Cindy Crawford.


We researched and discovered how SMART Cindy was in High School. I'm sure she's still smart! She's the icon of what a supermodel is, and her mole became a beauty trademark. She's the highest paid model on the plant, and currently is still modeling! She has a lot going on besides modeling, though. Baking is a hobby she enjoys and she is involved in a lot of motivational stuff for inner beauty.





We borrowed a ballroom dance dress from Liz Seedall and gave her some big hair and a mole and off she went to spend two hours giving a little speech about Cindy and what kind of influence she has had on women and girls.

I'm hoping to run her to the eye doctor this afternoon to pick up her glasses. And tomorrow she'll spend the whole day in Yellowstone.

WATCH HER ON YOUTUBE
This isn't the best quality, because it was so noisy in there, but at least you get a sense. She talks so fast (wonder where she gets that from.)

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!!

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
