I''m just hoping for two X chromosomes.

Oh! And in week 1 back on recording calories....drumroll please...I lost 1.4 lbs! YAY!!!

Yay! Congrats, VC!

I am sad to report I gained 5 pounds over the holiday break.

Lost two as of this morning.

OK who wants to help me come up w/ a craft the girls can do at Mini''s B-day party? The girls are ages 4, 6, 8 and 11. I''m having her party at my house so I want some sort of activity for the girls to do.

Really? You''d think that brown would trump everything. Yay there''s hope for my kids having cool colored eyes (instead of poop brown)!

Right?! I always thought brown was dominant and my whole family has brown eyes. I was shocked that Mini got blue eyes.

Did Mini''s dad have blue or green? You may have been a carrier for blue and you guys magically managed to put two recessive genes together!

He has blue eyes. The only other blue eyes in my family was my Grandpa and he passed away about 7 years ago so I always say she got them from him

I was a Grandpa''s girl, gosh I miss him!

Well then, there''s your answer. You were a carrier (from your gpa) and since he only had recessive, you made a Mini with blue eyes!

i always liked decorating tshirts with puffy paint, but i don''t know if thats "in" anymore.

maybe decorate uggs with swarovski crystals?

Paint jewelry boxes?

You can get little balsa boxes from Michaels for a couple bucks a pop in various shapes and sizes...

Thanks, elle...sorry again about your but sniffles. But I still giggle every time I read that.

Bia...this 1.4 was definitely holiday weight. Fortunately that was about all the holiday weight I gained, so at least that''s a good thing!

OMG Elle, do you want to front the money? I think the T-shirt thing is a great idea! Girls love that stuff!

VC - We can be diet partners. I started Jenny Craig this morning My good friend is a manager so I figured it would be the easiest way to lose my 10 pounds w/ my crazy busy life. Great job on the 1.4!

Also very cute!!

Another idea: decorate some picture frames and then take pictures at the party and send the girls home with a photo to put in it.

I had a t-shirt puffy painting party! The carpet in our basement was ruined and my mom vowed never to let us puffy paint again. I also had a beaded jewelry-making party. That was fun!
And then I moved to a fancier neighborhood where the girls had mani-pedi parties at the salon.

I hope so.

I can''t wait to pull out the Rock Star Fashion Show birthday party.

Buy some "rock star" clothing items, do full heavy makeovers, and let them sing karaoke.

Might have to be older than mini for that, though! Unless she sings Miley Cyrus songs!

Salon mani pedis? for little girls? wow! I might do that one-on-one with a niece or future daughter, but where''s the creativity, i ask you?!

Kids today...(I sound like the old people on tv)

I agree! I never had an desire for fancy stuff as a kid!

A HUGE sundae bar at home would be AWESOME! Decorating sundaes was (is!) so much fun!

I had my fair share of BK Magician Birthday parties!

 

[Bia]

I remember going to a party where we bedazzled keds with hot glue. Only it wasn''t called ''bedazzling'' then. Talk about a blast!

 

[CNOS128]

Oooh, or decorate your own cupcake!!

I had roller skating parties in 4th and 5th grade. I was a competitive roller skater. No lie.

What if WL posts pics and the little kids have better cuppies than I do?

Oh, the humiliation!

 

[winelover23]

Elle - Can I come to the Rock Star party?! I''ll bring singstar!

I had my Birthday party''s at the Skate Deck and we ate licorice ropes and traded jelly bracelets.

 

[vc10um]

WL--I really hope I''m a rad mom. My mom was the coolest mom around. All our friends use to congregate at my house. And woo hoo for Jenny Craig. It''s totally awesome to get your butt in gear for those last 10 lbs! I''ve gotta go way past 10, and the JC by me is in the ghe-tto.

Nowadays the kids only trade jelly bracelets for sinister purposes...
