You remember my Aussie cousin, MIA, who was touring around Mexico and Central America? Well she’s swinging back around to visit us one more time before she’s off to return to her home on the other side of the world. Since the last time I saw her before this was 20 years ago, I don’t want to [...]

We attend our first mock swim meet.
Our swim team had their first mock swim meet. Since we’ve never been on a swim team before, this was interesting to see and experience.I was amazed at how much work has to be done for a swim meet.
Louise: School Teacher
Some pictures of Louise all dressed up like an adult. For some reason I think she looks like a school teacher. A cute one, of course. She makes me laugh so much. -Jane, Mother of Fashionable Louise.
Thelma gets burned from Hot Cocoa.
While I was with Louise at the photo shoot. I get a frantic call from Thelma. She’s crying like crazy and I can hardly understand her. I’m dying inside because I’m two hours away and there’s nothing I can do. My mom had taken Thelma to work with her while I was with Louise. She [...]
Besties Biking to get Books & Reading by the Stream.
The next day and after the sleepover, I decide to take the girls to the library…oh yeah, and we’re biking to get there. I’m coming, I’m coming! The girls wave “hi” to passersby. So advanced in their young age. I could’t bike one-handed until a year ago.
Dance recital time!
As you know from the couple of posts of Dick and I attending dance class with the girls that they are taking dance this year. (Click HERE and HERE for the stories if you missed them.) Louise is taking a ballet/tap combo class and Thelma is taking a hip hop class. Most parents of children [...]
Tour de Metropolis: Biking, burgers, and honeysuckles.
As you all know, our visitors get the Jane and Dick Bike Tour de Metropolis. Luckily, we have enough bikes for J Lo and her boys, Will and Carlton. Several people have gotten the great privilege of going on this tour.
Bold and beautiful: Thelma sports a head dress just because.
The other day, Thelma had found a black rag that was once part of Dick’s shirt. It had just been washed. She decided she wanted to wear it. She looks just adorable!! In Muslim cultures, older girls and women are REQUIRED to wear head dresses to cover their head and hair. I think it’s awesome [...]
Thelma and Louise get dressed to go to “work” in fashion..
Thelma and Louise were playing pretend the other day that they were both going to work. “What do people wear when they go to work?” “It depends on where you work. Where do you guys work?” “We work in FASHION. Like in the Devil Wears Prada.” “Well, then just put together whatever you think is [...]
Here comes the NEW GEEK SQUAD!
We’re at BEST BUY and they, too, have gotten in on the CUSTOM BUGGY bandwagon. My kids love these cars and will snag one at every opportunity…even if we just need a couple of things that I can just as easily carry. However, Mommy gets suckered into pushing this heavy thing. I’m just wondering when they [...]
