Individuality

I remember the days when Blaine had his own mind and opinion! I am just wondering if any other parents have this issue with the little brothers/sisters. At restaurant, when asked what Blaine wants his response "whatever Emily is having". He did AWESOME at swim lessons. After day one arm floaties were history!! Last day was fun day - but he didn't enjoy it because Emily stayed with Nanny and Papa instead of being there with him!!!! After only one time jumping from the diving board, he was done. Only a year ago, he was his own little person, now he is mini Emily! It very frustrating!!!

Things I love -
a. Blaine's ability to swim without arm floaties!!!
b. being your own person!
c. that he loves his sister so much he wants to be her, even if it does drive me insane!

Toe-t-ally Painted

Trying to get this off the ground... scary! I would like to start booking appointments, and see how busy I get and then I will decide on renting a booth or doing something else... that would involve a travel trailer.... not sure - does that sound too creepy?? Picture super cute paint job?! Any ideas would be great. I didn't major in marketing!

I guarantee all my work. All nails should last 3-4 weeks. I will be happy to fix anything within 10 days as long as it wasn't messed up due to improper care. If poor care was the cause, a $2 per toe charge will be applied.

If your interested, I will email you some of my work. I am also available for parties. Please pass the word around.

Here is something I've done just because we're rooting for our team!!!

Call me for an appointment

Blaine

So I am late downloading Blaine's graduation pics from preschool. Story of my summer. For some reason I've become the procrastinator over everything this summer. Guess just enjoying summer!
On the morning of his birthday, he woke up early - big surprise!! He tapped me and I rolled over and he had the biggest grin on his face!! Here is what followed....

Mom - Happy Birthday!!!!
Blaine - Thanks but Im not 5 yet.
Mom - Yes you are. Today is your birthday. You're 5 years old TODAY
Blaine - (after examining himself) But I'm not any bigger!!!

Summmmaa Time

Summer finally arrived after a long school year. I am not sure who was more ready - Emily or me! Here are some of the Adventures of the Kapka Klan. With school just around the corner we better relish these next couple of weeks!!!

Happenings.....
1. Blaine rides his bike with OUT training wheels.
2. Jamie has become a jet set traveler for work... which means a Jamicia trip will be planned!
3. A little movie that opened June 30th just added fuel to the fire to my addiction
4. Emily is the best big sister/daughter there is!! And she has finally decided to start Dance class in the fall. Anyone who knows how shy she is - this is a huge thing for us!

Things I love....
1. Mornings with no where to go to enjoy coffee on my patio
2. Free pools!
3. the heat that comes with summer
