Track Talk, Hats, Golden Bunnicornia, and a Video!

Greetings! Things are going well over in Fleming Trackville. Our lives are revolving around track these days. Many conversations are centered on track as Aaron and I share with each other about our track teams. I'm often asking him for advice as he has way more experience in this than I do. David often chips in with his own track tales each day. The older two girls go to practice with me, so they have fun telling me about how they practiced doing the high jump or hurdles or just had fun running around. It's crazy busy, but also crazy fun! I'm still learning to time my meals right. I have a time cook function on my stove, so I try to time supper being ready soon after I get home. Defrosting dinner first is my challenge. I'm getting better and we are having fewer and fewer really late suppers. :) Keilah is the only one not involved in the track talk. She reminds us to continue to find pleasure in the small things in life - like hats.
She loves wearing her hat around the house. It's awfully cute, so I don't mind letting her wear it all day. 
It obviously makes her feel happy. Also having dog friends to play with as well makes her happy. 
Who can resist such cuteness? 
Over spring break last week, my older girls traveled to Golden Bunnicornia each day. Last year in art, Ana was supposed to make a clay sculpture of two animals turned into a new animal. She chose her and Abby's two favorite animals - Bunnies and Unicorns and created a Bunnicorn (a bunny with a horn and wings). Apparently there is a land where all the bunnicorns live. It's called Golden Bunnicornia and you find it by flying beyond the sun on your magic carpet. There was a Grand Bunniball during the week of spring break and my girls were invited to come every day to enjoy the food, dancing, crafts, music, and talking. I even got a special note under my pillow one day to attend the Bunniball. When I arrived, there were delicious bunnibiscuits to enjoy. 
When one travels to Golden Bunnicornia, you must wear your finest because bunnicorns are beautiful, elegant creatures. 
Sometimes they even turn you into a bunnicorn as well while you are visiting. 
I had fun attending their party each day and seeing their imaginations hard at work! Plus they always had little treats set out each day as well that they made so I got to indulge in those as well!

And here's a little video of my busy munchkin. On this day, she discovered the drawer with my cardboard recycling and had fun taking it out piece by piece and bringing it into the dining room. I love that girl! 
Enjoy your day!

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Triplets Nine Years Apart

Aaron and I always comment that by looking at one of our girls, you've seen them all. Apparently, I had triplets nine years apart. Below are 20 different pictures of the girls at similar ages.

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
