I am Ready .. Bring on the Pageants

Ella had her first dance recital. It was really fun! She was in HEAVEN she literally loved every second of the weekend (that's right it was 2 days of dance practices and recitals). She didn't even complain when she had to sleep in her sponge rollers.

C'mon adorable!

This is a pic of her first outfit - sorry she looks a little out of focus. She also had another blue one that was just as awesome. Don't worry everyone I am checking into the availability of adult size costumes, I'll get back to you.

So now that I am officially a dance mom I am ready to take on the big leagues and be a pageant mom. We signed up for 'Toddlers & Tiaras' - applications pending, I still need to get her a flipper (you know so she can have that super creepy adult teeth smile), but once that is in the bag I am set. I'll spray tan her up and off we go.

PS - if you haven't seen the Tom Hanks Toddlers & Tiaras spook on JKL you must find it on You Tube. Funniest thing. I would set up a link but i just don't wanna.

I am A Good Mom ... Well

I like to take the afternoons for myself, you know a nap here, a bath there. Basically I just don't want to see or talk to my kids. This is one of the activities Ella found to do for herself.
In case you can't tell, she is wrapping her dolls up in wrapping paper. And I am a good mom b/c I took a pic and went along my merry way. Plus I am also a good mom b/c she knows to use safety scissors.

Does Anyone Want to Murder Foofa?

Actually I will murder the whole lot. Foofa, Brobee, Plex, Toodee (copied from the Facts of Life) or Muno. I absolutely detest Yo Gabba Gabba. Why do I continue to let my child watch you ask? Well duh. It keeps her quiet. But it doesn't means I don't have fantasies about brutally murdering the whole gang - yes brutally-, including DJ Lance for continuing to open that case .... NO PLEASE KEEP IT CLOSED DON'T LET THEM OUT!!!!!!

Did You Know?

If you watch Jimmy (Fallon) - for those of you that are new around here Jimmy Fallon is referred to as Jimmy or my BFF (he has yet to be informed, but none the less he IS my BFF.)

Anyway on Jimmy the other day the older brother from Hannah Montana was on - Jackson - (yes , I watch Hannah Montana. Yes, even with out my kids there. Yes, I enjoy it but sometimes want to punch Hannah/Miley in the face). So guess how old Jackson is in 'real life'. Here's a pic in case you are not a Hannah Montana fan.

Obviously he's the one in the striped shirt... so you all have your guess?

He's THIRTY FOUR!!! Can you believe it?

Not really useful info, I just personally found it interesting. Feel free to pass it along to all of your friends.

What is wrong with people don't they know everyone is staring?
I was in the Dollarstore - real high class like - and this lady and her friend were both loudly (is that a word?) getting angry at their kids. The kids were only about 3 or 4 and they were telling them that they were both being so bad, how they didn't need those toys, yelling at them to get in the cart, I could go on. It was honestly embarrassing/awkward - a little funny - but mostly embarrassing/awkward. C'mon have the decency to save it for home.

On a different note I tried the following recipes from Our Best Bites:
Banana Cream Pie (really easy, plus it makes 2 pies. So one for your neighbor, or screw your neighbor and 2 for you. I am not here to judge.)

So so so GOOD, and I don't even like Banana Cream Pie !!!!!

Italian Burgers

Not great I won't make it again. And my kids hated it. Bart, because he is a wise man, said he liked it, but seriously have you met me? You don't want to be telling me that you don't like something I've made. EVEN IF I say that I don't like it first. The safest route is the one taken by Bart. He is the reason we are still married.
