Firecrackers....or cookies!

Olena has the hearing of the hawk, because this girl will hear a fly coming around the block! Anyhow, the other night she would not go to sleep, she kept telling me she was "scurred" of the firecookies. What the heck? I was so aggravated because I had no clue what she was talking about. After about 10 minutes of arguing with her, she finally told me to open the front door so I did and she said "see....listen" so I stopped and listened and sure enough, probably somewhere in the next city - there were fireWORKS! I said you are scared of THOSE fireworks!
"Yes mummy - the firecookies"!

Good grief!

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding. She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out. So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding. Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head. Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.

Soon to be teenager!

We just celebrated our 11th Gotcha Day, this kid amazes me everyday. She is doing fabulous in the 6th grade. She currently has all As and 1 B. She loves school and still loves to learn. She struggles a bit with making friends, but she handles herself well, meshes great with the staff and the teachers and doesn't take any crap or bullying from anyone. LOL! She has had her fair share of issues, and has had to write out 50 Ways to be Respectful a handful of times and has been in the "warrior room" to work out conflicts more than once but she is loving, kinds, silly, strong and very self confident.
