Action Vest Revealed

A few questions have been raised about my sweet Nash's Action Vest.I will do my best to clear up the matter because of its important and pressing nature. Nash received the Action Vest when Glamma Fabulous made it for a cowboy costume when he was 1- 6 years ago. It was dubbed "Action Vest" because he likes to wear it when he does his ninja-karate-breakdance-secret agent moves and of course his gravity defying flips.He even brought it to church for his spotlight on Sunday . He has been known to sleep , eat and even wear it under other clothes (I put a kibosh on that one I assure you ) .He is also fond of a big black cheap cape that I sewed a little head hole in and he refers to it as his Mystery Cloak ( sometimes Devil Cloak or Dark Knight Cloak )and skulks around the house hiding and 'disappearing' into the walls to trick me. I 've gotta' hand it to the little dude cuz' a few times he really got me good. Watch out when the Cloak and Action Vest pair up it gets Crazy Up In Here!

Blue Cheetah Steel

Friday Night Movie Night took a crazy turn a few weeks ago when during the world premiere of the Cheetah Girls 'One World' movie (I know you are sooo jealous)the kids busted out anything remotely animal print and gave us a fabulous fashion show. Notice Xanders Blue Steel and Nash in his infamous Action Vest.Ava and Remi were ravishing and cheetahrific in all their ensembles. It was a great night and another reason to love Friday Night Movie Night.

Planet of Ava

Yesterday my wonderful Aunt Mel watched the little girls so I could run a few errands and help at the big kids school without toting around my pink minions. I guess while I was gone they were joking and having fun when Ava said to her " Get off me you Dirty APE" Mel laughed and I am still slightly horrified that she said it to our sweet Aunt Mel and that she remembered our Planet of the Apes movie marathon awhile ago. Charlton Heston is totally appropriate for 3 year olds! Seriously though "Get yer' hands off me ya' damn dirty ape!" is one of the best lines of all time and isn't an education in classic film a pre-rec' for kindergarten?

My Baby's Left Foot

Before our feet are ruined by walking and being crammed into shoes they look like sweet Sloans.All peachy and perfectly perfect.

Watch Out Big Daddy!

This weekend the boy cousins got to have some manly bonding time with Grampa Fabulous and the girls and I had some Lady Time. On our way back from dropping them off Remi said "Hey Mommy we are all girls in the car! It's a GIRL TRAP! Where's Daddy?" I said at work and that he'd be home in awhile then she replied " Daddy better watch out we are going to destroy him!" Luckily no one was destroyed and after movie night Remi and Kevin had a camp out in the living room and Ava and I had a snugglefest in my cozy bed- couch sleepin' doesn't thrill me like it once did. Today after the girls gave each other 'makeovers'-I had two very freaky lookin' girls on my hands...think Heath Ledger as Joker- we went to the dollar store and the girls thought they were in heaven picking out the perfect one dollah' prize .Up and down the aisles we went with every suggestion I made shot down - it was a good prep for me for future teenage clothes shopping- until a suitable pink hair covered head band and castle shaped makeup kit was found.After baths this evening we had a beauty parlor and I gave some wicked mani pedis to ALL the little ladies.( P.S. 1 yr.olds have a hard time getting toe polish on just their toes) The boys came home worn out by fun and it was good times all around! How was your weekend?

Boys + Grampa = Awesomeness

Viva Lucha!

Maybe you dont know this but I L O V E love the fab Mexican fighting masks. Lucha Libre...ahhhh the theatrical show of strength, the pagentry of it all, the boudless amounts of churros I am sure they sell at the matches. I found american fake wrestling when I was a young babysitter and nothing else was on basic cable at 11:00 on a Saturday night ( that was BEFORE I discovered the awesomeness of SNL -another story-and TBS movie marathons) I enjoyed Macho Man , Ultimate Warrior and of course Hulk Hogan- love me some bright yellow feather boas- and I didnt think any thing else could compare but the Masks of our resourceful neighbors to the south won me over. A few years ago my Glam Mom and sisters and I went on a little cruise to Mexico and all my pesos were spent on Masks. I found baby sized ,fringed, furry,and pleather beauties and now my costume obsessed kids and I can revel in their coolness.I also adore any sport that gets a costume (dodgeball ,rollerderby or ballet anyone?) and I think we should bring back the fancy swim caps of yesteryear ( Esther Williams was soo glamorous). Wrestling with a costume always looks cool even if its lame.Ava and Nash rock the Masks too.
