Over, but not out

Well our Christmas vacation is over. Tomorrow we start on busy street again. This break was good for all of us, but most especially for Mim feeling more comfortable with our family.

She says she is beautiful whenever she has all this on..Where does she get it from..surely not from me...



I also started to assign more daily chores for the girls. They all need to make their beds, we rotate on who does dishes each night, and yes, Tuki is in the rotation. They are starting to help set table as well as clean the table (they have been doing this for some time). I will be adding more as I feel Mim has adjusted better, and the other two are older and can handle more responsibility.

The little girly attitudes....

The clothes were purchased at Goodwill as a Christmas present...best investment that I have ever made.The girls LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!!

I have attached photos of the girls. Tuki and Ve play dress-up ALL the time.
With the accumulations of crowns, high heel, make-up, dress-up clothes and jewelry, they go all out when ever we are home...All I can say is that I hope this not indicative of my future with these two....LOL



All three dancing in the living room. See the BIG pink house behind Mim? Well that is a Barbie doll house that was given to the girls by by brother's girlfriend J. Over Christmas and birthdays the girls accumulated a total of 20+ Barbies..and now they have a house as well. SPOILED......, but worth it!!!

Mim wanted me to take her picture as well. She doesn't play dress-up, but is now more of couch potato with the TV. It reminds me of Ve at the same time last year. I let her watch as much as she wanted to and now it is not such a big deal and her English is pretty darn good, if I must say so my self. Mim's English is budding as well.


Starting this week, along with school (theirs and mine) and homework, Mim will have basketball two nights a week (she really begged to do this), all three will continue to attend AWANA, Tuki will go back to YMCA gymnastics, and Ve will finish up her YMCA basketball that lasts another two months. BUSY BUSY BUSY...I am tired just reading this. I also hope I will have the energy to want to work-out at the Y at least 3 times a week while I nurse the plantar fasciitis that sprang up just before Mim came home.

Oh well, my blogging may drop in frequency, but I will be back now and then to keep our on-line journal active...
