She wanted a picture of &#8220;Love or Magic (or both!)&#8221; And naturally my kids are magic to me, and they have the magic ability to make me laugh, and I love watching them grow and seeing SO! Much! Attitude! and knowing they come by it Oh so natural (&#8230;from their Auntie Ladybug. and Nana Moosie. and Papa Moosie. and their dad. Yeah. not me! I&#8217;m the GOOD DAUGHTER!) and well. *L* I declare that the magic of my having given birth to such awesome kids, and how much I love them totally qualifies for AkMotleyGirl&#8217;s request. As proof, I submit the following Videos taken tonight at Cold Stone Creamery where Nana treated us all to nummy ice cream!<\/p>\n<p>First &#8211; the pup, who would have stood there waiting for me to take the picture forEVER had not her sister narked on my using video&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><flv xhref=\"https:\/\/gonfalon.org\/eclat\/videos\/06-24-06pup.flv\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Next &#8211; the girl, who just&#8230; is SO MUCH ME that it&#8217;s not even funny&#8230; the facial expressions, the rolling of her eyes, the snarky lil commentary.. oh! I am SO PROUD!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><flv xhref=\"https:\/\/gonfalon.org\/eclat\/videos\/06-24-06girl.flv\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And finally &#8211; the boy&#8230; who was caught doing something on Auntie Ladybug&#8217;s camera, and naturally, it cracked me the hell up, as does the following exchange&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><flv xhref=\"https:\/\/gonfalon.org\/eclat\/videos\/06-24-06boy.flv\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>In OTHER news! The Girl made Allstars! WHOO! which means I have 3 more weeks of little league&#8230; CRAP. *L* And her tourney is in Knik (which&#8230; supposedly.. is near Anchorage) and its a WEEK LONG&#8230; and now I&#8217;m all &#8220;GAH&#8221; about it. But she&#8217;s very excited, and therefore so am I.<\/p>\n<p>Really.<br \/>\nHonest.<br \/>\nWHOOOHOOO! *Grin* see?<\/p>\n<p>The kids have handled the loss of DD better then expected, and I&#8217;m really proud of them. It feels empty here &#8211; even when she was hiding, I always knew DD was around yannow? and now it&#8217;s different. Unexplainable, but real none the less. But the kids&#8217;re doing ok, and for that I am grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Sacha is still hanging on &#8211; she feels much better with the meds she&#8217;s on, and has some of her happy golucky self back. Though she is dropping weight and eating everything in sight all at the same time. heh. It&#8217;s hard to know she won&#8217;t hang on much longer, but at the same time, we&#8217;re grateful for every moment we have with her. The kids are taking her on walks as long as she wants to walk, and we&#8217;ve decided the neighbors can hang if they don&#8217;t like her being out when she wants out no matter what time it is. She&#8217;s the queen of this castle for her remaining days &#8211; something she feels she quite rightly deserves anyway. *L*<\/p>\n<p>So how&#8217;re things in *your* neck of the woods?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So &#8211; I haven&#8217;t forgotten the picture requests &#8211; I told ya I hadn&#8217;t, you believed me right?
