Back-to-School Night & a VLOG video

 yes...Back-to-School night..you did see us tomorrow..which is now yesterday...

Alani in one of her fav outifts...hello kitty shirt and skirt with what we like to call "strawberry shortcake leggings"....if you know Strawberry Shortcake you know why.

Blakey's take on back-to-school night:
didn't really like the classroom part
wanted to go see the paper eagle in the entry way
wanted to keep going and getting cookies and lemonade from the cafeteria
like the book fair part....he got to pick out a book too: Star Wars Lego Sticker book
Alani got a princess cupcake cookbook & a Barbie Fashion story book and a giant "pointing-finger" pen

We went and got chinese food for dinner...the first time I managed all the kids and baby by myself at dinner...a man just looked at me as he walked out and said, "wow, you've got your hands full".....
"yes, yes sir-ree-bob, I do...ha ha ha ha

After I got everyone in jammies, brushed teeth, tucked people in bed, cuddled and loved everyone, nursed baby...edited a video, typed my blogs...yes it's now 3am and I'm typing this...don't tell my mom, she just told me about a young guy that had a stroke and said I need more sleep. I agree, but if I sleep I get nothing done in the day with all the kids....I have to burn the midnight oil... that whole "sleep when the baby sleeps things" doesn't work...if I did that I would never write blogs, edit videos, read any email, or get anything done...laundry...you get the idea.

oh yes!! so here's a NEW random vlog video for my poor little channel on youtube that I have NOT uploaded anything to in WAYYYY to long...it's www.youtube.com/thekandeejohnsonshow (go give it a hug with your eyes for me)....
please enjoy how I look and sound when I'm sick and my little baby love...oh she's so cute. Look how little she was in the intro and then now!


and don't worry....I am feeling wayyyy better now guys! Thanks for all the awesome remedies you guys posted on facebook!
Huge hugs love and giant pens from the book fair.... your kandee (who's going to bed now)

Fake Sunglasses, HAIRCUTS & crepes...

f

As you will notice in the picture below...

or maybe you won't now...I did one of the things I'm famous for:

closing my eyes in pictures...SO

I drew some sunglasses on myself!

And the picture above...my little lovebug takes after mama, and her eyes were closed to-

PROBLEM solved: draw on sunglasses!

(see, I look totally better here...valley girl voice totally-intended)

who's in the picture: Sunglasses-McGee, my sweet friend, Bethanie, and my little mini-me

yesterday 11:45am:
my mom, post haircut by my friend who just cut moms hair, Bethanie..as you know, that's baby Elysey-pie in her arms.

I was telling both Bethanie and my mom how I wanted to chop all my hair off- to which they both said no, they like my long hair. They both know that this is the longest it's been in 10 years! (I actually cut it all off in August 2001- so it's been 10 years since my hair was only centimeters long...ha ha)

Bethanie took us to the coolest place for lunch- I am in love with these "bottle-lights". The guy that works there, who was a cool hipster looking guy with tattoos that could've easily been a model, made these. He said his girlfriend came up with the idea and he fabricated them. They recycle all their old liquor bottles and turn them into lights! I loved these!

Then we went down the corner and tucked behind a tattoo parlor is this yummy crepe place. Bethanie treated us to Lemon Butter and Powdered Sugar crepes! They were so tiny and cute, and didn't seem so  bad to eat when they are this tiny!

PS. We were thinking of doing some fun colorings to my hair, but I didn't think baby would be happy staying any longer, so we delayed my hair fun til another time. I want soemthing fun and new. My mom got lots of "hair attention" all day....I really love her haircut and kind of wish I had it too. I'm gonna go brush my hair. (just kidding, I don't even have time to brush my hair- see how much easier the short hair would be!)

wish we could sit and share a big crepe and maybe a haircut!  Powdered sugar and love, kandee
