helping, helping, not helping...

Grounded

Don't ask what for... it doesn't really matter does it?  And yes, when I scream at her, I do have to lift my chin up.  We're not exactly eye level anymore.  damnit

hahahahaha She's all sweaty and hot.  Whatever. :) Like my sister reminded me; I think she can handle our 1500 sq ft of grass when her MOTHER AND AUNT KATEE had to mow acres of grass growing up.  WITH HILLS, SUMMER.  Have you ever tried to pull a whirling sharp bladed machine that weighs as much as you do up a damn hill at a 45 degree angle?  I prayed to fall and for it to take off my feet so I would never have to do it again.  And p.s. dropping it over the 8 ft retaining wall will NOT break it. Trust me.

Eleanor's Tounament

The reviews are in: Its just plain awesome to watch Ellee chase and kick the crap out of other little kids.

This weekend was Ellee's interschool tourney.  She could sign up for two events that she thought she was super awesome at.  She did weapons and sparing.  uh huh.

Yes, the instructor is acutally HELPING the other child punch Ellee.  Good Lord.  Summer's got about 6 more months before Hellcat figures out how weak her big shister is.

The Blind Leading the Blind

This is at a great new shopping "village" that just opened by us.  There's a farmers market on the weekend, and music and other fun stuff for the kids.  I didn't realize that Eleanor has no idea what a hula hoop is. And yes, strangers be careful around Eleanor; you might just get swept up and forced to dance.

This one Ellee assaults Summer at about the 13 second mark.  She bled. lol  So much for trying to teach her how to hula hoop.  I'm sure Summer would have managed to break something anyway; like a tooth or an arm.

Damn You Daylight Savings

These were both taken about 25 minutes after getting home school.  She does play PRETTY HARD at school, but her body's clock has been whacked since the time change.
