Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

I haven’t done a Wordless Wednesday post in awhile and I couldn’t resist sharing this one of my girls walking out to see if Santa arrived on Christmas morning.

I love that they are both holding their lovies and blankie.

I love that they are holding hands.

I love that my five-year-old does not get out of bed without a matching hair accessory.

I love matching Christmas jammies.

And most of all, I just love the look of joy and anticipation on their little faces.

Emma (my five-year-old) and I have had some power struggles this summer so recently I had to lay down the law with some family rules because this mommy had just HAD it!

So I made a chart of “Family Rules” with three things she is to work on each day and at the end of the day if she does a good job following them she gets a sticker.

{Incidentally, I have no idea if this is a good or bad discipline tactic, but sometimes you just have to try anything when you are at the end of your rope.}

Then one day last week she asked me for some paper and a pen to draw before I put Morgan down for a nap. When I came out I saw that Emma had stuck this to the wall right below her “Family Rule” chart.

Yes, this would be “Jennifer Chart” of “Family Rules.”  With rule number one being, “Listen to Emma.”

Oh my gosh you guys, this child gives me a run for my money, let me tell you. But I have to give her one for creativity!

I wrote about how my poor little one ended up with this cast a couple weeks ago. Thank goodness it is off now and she is doing great! Hooray!

When Morgan got the cast on my oldest daughter Emma was very excited to pull out the black Sharpie to write on it. I sort of hemmed and hawed and tried to dissuade her because when Emma had her hot pink cast it ended up all scribbled on and looked so messy.

I was hoping since Morgan was too young to know about signing casts, that I would be able to escape the Sharpie marks this time around.

This past weekend at Castaways Park in Newport Beach, 1776 American Flags were on display in honor of all military, law enforcement, fire and first responder men and women.

It was hard to walk through it without getting a little emotional, especially given the event that transpired on May 1st, 2011.

It was a beautiful, touching display.  Click here to visit the Field of Honor website.

Words can’t even express the feelings and events that transpired last weekend at the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Cinco de Mayo Run/Walk but my 22-month-old daughter’s face as she participated in the 1K Kids’ Fun Run pretty much sums it up…

Pure joy.

I was so proud of my little Tiny Oranges out there “running” for our team.  Stay tuned for a full event recap as soon as I come up for air this week!
