We came across this teeter totter that someone had made by putting a log in between the tree trunk. It was a little longer on one end, so I thought it a perfect opportunity for a little math lesson and working together. Our girls just do not get enough of this kind of play/problem. I decided to watch and let them figure it out.<br />

Two weeks ago they started a plank war. A plank is where you hold your body weight up with your hands or elbows and your toes. It is supposed to be good for your core. So I was down in San Diego when I found out the plank war was starting. The rules were to do a plank that could be held for at least a minute. Two planks a day maximum could be submitted. I was in a bagel shop when I got the e-mail with Kami and the girls. I told Kami about the plank wars. I jokingly said, "I should just do one here." And that is how I got started.<br />

<br />I love this picture. As you can see Jilliana has nearly caught up in size to Emma and Meilynn. She will surely be our tallest. She is the size of the other Kindergartener's although she is still very tiny. She weighs in at 36 pounds. Emma will be our shortest. She is the shortest in her class with Meilynn being the second shortest. Lily is 10 but is the size of the other third graders.<br />
<br />
I will try to get some posts in, but I wanted to make sure that you all knew we were ok. I didn't want anyone to worry.<br />

On Friday we went to "Meet the Teacher Day". Of course we already know her since she was Emma, Meilynn's and Lily's kindergarten Teacher. Jilliana found her cubby and where she will hang her backpack. There are only 10 in the class and with an aide.<br />

All lined up and ready to go in.<br />
<br />
We love you Jilliana and know the future is unlimited for you. You are a funny, smart, joyful, appreciative, and sympathetic little thing. I couldn't be happier that God placed you in our family.<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16663112.post-39259381915729812022013-08-20T22:35:00.002-07:002013-08-20T22:35:26.082-07:00Ramblings.......and Grandma's handsWhy is it that I have the best intentions to get so much done after the girls are in bed and then when that time comes I just don't feel like doing anything but getting into my bathtub and reading my book?<br />
<br />
Today I felt so productive. You know, one of those days where you just seem to get a lot done. As my day went on I kept adding to my list since I was accomplishing so much. So here I sit with a list of things I planned to get done, but now I just don't feel like it.<br />
<br />
I got up early. Mike is out of town so I am solo. I got the lunches started and oatmeal on before it was time to wake the girls. After doing all four heads of hair the girls ate breakfast. I don't know about breakfast at your house, but these girls can eat. They had oatmeal, eggs, toast, banana bread, fruit and juice. We have some new rules in our house due to things getting really, umm...lax around here. Is lax a word? The girls eat at the counter in the morning and they were starting to just get up and take some of their dishes to the sink. I was beginning to feel like the waitress again, so the rule is, if you leave any part of your breakfast dishes out and this includes your trash, you have to wash or dry any dishes in the sink. Today Meilynn left her dishes on the counter, so after school she will put away the dishes.<br />
<br />
The other rules we are working on are:<br />
Running in the house- I have tried almost everything to stop this. It is just a safety issue. We have hard tile floor and a step up form one room to another, stairs, and just the danger of running into someone else. So the consequence is one lap for each year of your age in our back yard. Lily broke this rule the first day and had to run 10 laps around the backyard. The first few laps she was laughing and thinking it was fun, but by the 7th she was already dragging. No one has broken that rule since the first day it was in place. Now I know that is too good to be true, since it is something we have been trying to stop forever.<br />
<br />
Wiping your hands together to get food crumbs off your hands or wiping them on the floor=sweep whole kitchen. One of the girls started wiping their hands together to get the crumbs off and then the others began doing this. I can't stand it.<br />
<br />
Eating with hands. We have one that just can't stop doing this. So if she does it she has to go eat outside alone. I mean if you are going to eat like an animal then you should eat like an animal. At least I won't have to watch it.<br />
<br />
Ok, I think you get the idea. There are just two more but I have got completely off subject. I was talking about my productive day. It doesn't help that I have had one wake-up with a bad dream in the middle of typing this. So now I just want to finish this post to get into my book.<br />
<br />
Back to my day. I got the lunches made, the girls off to school. Jilliana and I dropped by the piano teachers to pick up a few of Emma's new books, and then we went to the grocery store. When we got home we played play dough, I made a slow cooker chicken to have another night.<br />

This is actually the things I put into the pot after the chicken to make chicken stock for chicken soup.<br />
<br />
Jilliana and I then made jello for dessert tonight. (It is not on our real food plan, but it is a sometime food)<br />
I made Jilliana a quick lunch of pea soup, cheese, fruit kabob, carrots and hummus.<br />

Then Jilliana and I worked on a little school work that I do with her. She beat me at the memory game three times.<br />
<br />
We talked to Kami on Skype, and then it was time to get the girls.<br />
I could go on with this day, but boring. The point is I felt really good about getting so much done.<br />
Fast forward to bedtime and someone had a major breakdown and missed the story. I guess the name of this post was appropriate. Ramblings, since that is all it seems that I am doing. <br />
<br />
I was really going to write a post on "Thats Not Fair", guess I will save that for another day. And, oh yeah, the Italy trip.......hmmm, not enough hours in my day.<br />
<br />
I will leave you with a few pictures. My favorite is the last one!<br />

I love this picture! It is my Mom helping Jilliana on one of her projects. Jilliana spent so much time trying to get this right. The box said it was for 6 and up. She is 5, but she stuck with it. I love the way she has her little arm over Grandmas. Looking at their hands reminds me of an e-mail I got years ago and saved.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: Arial;">Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench.<br />She didn't move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands.<br /><br />When I sat down beside her she didn't acknowledge my presence and the<br />longer I sat I wondered if she was OK.<br /><br />Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her<br />at the same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her head and<br />looked at me and smiled. 'Yes, I'm fine, thank you for asking,' she<br />said in a clear voice strong.<br /><br />'I didn't mean to disturb you, grandma, but you were just sitting here<br />staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK,' I<br />explained to her.<br /><br />'Have you ever looked at your hands,' she asked. 'I mean really<br />looked at your hands?'<br /><br />I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them<br />over, palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at<br />my hands as I tried to figure out the point she was making..<br /><br />Grandma smiled and related this story:<br /><br />'Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have<br />served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled<br />shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to<br />reach out and grab and embrace life.<br /><br />'They braced and caught my fall when as a toddler I crashed upon the<br />floor.<br /><br />They put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. As a child, my<br />mother taught me to fold them in prayer. They tied my shoes and pulled<br />on my boots. They held my husband and wiped my tears when he went off<br />to war.<br /><br />'They have been dirty, scraped and raw , swollen and bent. They were<br />uneasy and clumsy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated<br />with my wedding band they showed the world that I was married and loved someone<br />special.<br /><br />They wrote my letters to him and trembled and shook when I<br />buried my parents and spouse.<br /><br />'They have held my children and grandchildren, consoled neighbors, and<br />shook in fists of anger when I didn't understand.<br /><br />They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the<br />rest of my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried<br />and raw. And to this day when not much of anything else of me works<br />real well these hands hold me up, lay me down, and again continue to<br />fold in prayer.<br /><br />'These hands are the mark of where I've been and the ruggedness of life.<br /><br />But more importantly it will be these hands that God will reach out<br />and take when he leads me home. And with my hands He will lift me to<br />His side and there I will use these hands to touch the face of<br />Christ.'<br /><br />I will never look at my hands the same again. But I remember God<br />reached out and took my grandma's hands and led her home.<br /><br />When my hands are hurt or sore or when I stroke the face of my<br />children and husband I think of grandma. I know she has been stroked and<br />caressed and held by the hands of God.<br /><br />I, too, want to touch the face of God and feel His hands upon my<br />face.</span></span><br />

We have a playroom and a workout room. In the spring I moved all of the baby dolls, baby crib, little kitchen etc. into our workout room. I thought we would use the playroom as the homework room or study room. But what we really ended up with was two playrooms. Now, not only was I complaining about picking up the playroom, but now there were two. <br />
<br />
We had been using our kitchen table for homework, but with our varied schedule someone was always working there and then their stuff had to be moved to eat dinner. Then it would just get stacked up on the kitchen counter, which then really frustrated me.<br />
<br />
So with the school year starting and knowing how much more work 3rd grade is, and now it is independent work (mostly), we needed to find a place that was quiet for the girls to work, but not too far away. When I taught 3rd grade that was one of the first things I told the students to do. Find a homework station.<br />
<br />
When Kami and Meghan were little, we bought desks for them and they each had them in their own room. With two girls sharing a room now there just isn't any room for a desks. Plus, their rooms are upstairs and too far away.<br />
<br />
When we bought this house it was something like 2700 square feet. (I am not really good with numbers so this is approximate, and it was a long time ago1) We were a family of four and we had come from a smaller house, so it felt huge. We had 3 bedrooms, and an office that could be a fourth. We had 3 bathrooms.<br />
<br />
After several years, we added a little on to the laundry room, downstairs bath, and added a workout room that could also be a bedroom if needed. Now our house was 3200 feet.<br />
<br />
After we adopted Emma and Meilynn we added on to our house again. If you have been reading my blog a long time that was when we lived in the motorhome at the beach with two three year olds while our house was being remodeled. (A very challenging time, but now I look back with such fond memories of that time.) We added on a playroom, converted our old bedroom into a guest bath with a bathroom, and added on a huge master suite and bathroom. Now our house is 4300 square feet or maybe 4700 square feet. I don't know and that is not the point.<br />
<br />
But with all of this adding on, the girls are in Kami and Meghan's old rooms sharing, because we now have a guest room for when the older girls come home or for guests. Mike still has his office, we have the gym or playroom and the playroom.<br />
<br />
Mike and I decided that even though the gym was further away, it would be the better place to set up the girls homework area. So I found some cute desks, moved all of the playroom baby stuff out, and have started setting the room up for studying.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today was the first day of School for Lily, Meilynn, and Emma. Jilliana will start in another week and a half. The girls were really excited and of course laid out what they were going to wear on the first day. My alarm went off at 5:45, ugh, goodbye summer! The girls alarms went off at 6:30.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our morning routine goes something like this. I wake up and get ready. The girls get up, make beds, pick up rooms and bathroom get dressed and then I fix everyones hair. We go downstairs at 7:00. We make breakfast, and lunches. These girls love to eat, so breakfast is usually a lot. I usually make eggs, oatmeal, toast (still making homemade bread). The girls will pick out a fruit and will have orange juice to drink.</span></div>

First day for everyone except Jilliana. Emma Jilliaa, Lily, and Meilynn. Wow, I just noticed how Meilynn has shot up past Emma. They have been the same size, (actually Meilynn was a little shorter when we got her than Emma) a long time.<br />

I didn't even know that anyone was still reading or looking at my blog other than family! Thank you all for your great suggestions! From the advice to get help with getting the girls to all of their activities to how to post about our summer vacation and keep up with current postings. Thanks!<br />
<br />
My Mom gave me the gift (for my birthday) of watching the girls so that Mike and I could go out after Church today. Something that we rarely get to do together. My Mom has a collection of dolls that she was ready to give away and she wanted to give them to the girls in a special way. I kinda gave her a hard time about giving us the dolls because I didn't know where we would keep them. (Also, my plan this year is to really go through everything in the house and give away what we don't need, use, or consider special.) They are porcelain, so not dolls to play with. I feel bad that I acted that way, so I am sorry Mom. The girls love them and they will always be a reminder of this special day you spent with them.<br />
<br />
After Church my Mom and Dad took the girls to lunch and then to their house to play. My Mom planned a special tea party to introduce the dolls to them and to give them to the girls. I am sure the day will be a day they will treasure forever. As for our date, we went for a quick lunch, to the movies, and then we didn't know what to do being out of practice so we ended up at Costco getting groceries for the week. (Another thing we need to add to our list of new things this year, get a babysitter so we can have a date night)<br />
<br />
Thanks Mom and Dad for making such beautiful memories for our girls!<br />

So that means that some days I may have two posts. (I know you are thinking, really? How many times has she said before that she is going to try and post only to find out that I dropped the ball?) I am trying, really!<br />
<br />
Right now I am trying so hard to get the girls schedules worked out for the year. Emma made the competitive gymnastics team so that means more hours at the gym. Plus we are trying to start her in piano. Lily will continue tennis. We feel that will be enough for her with how difficult we expect third grade to be. Meilynn has piano and has just moved up in ballet so she will have opposite days of Jilliana. We may only have Jilliana do one day of ballet since she will be starting kindergarten and that will be everyday. She also will have swimming. I am trying to work it out so that we are not out every night. It is complicated with four. I don't know how people with bigger families do it?<br />
<br />
No pictures today. We went grocery shopping, did our summer school work, worked on learning to type on the computer. Took Emma to Gymnastics and went swimming after dinner. I am going to miss summer days! We start school next Wednesday!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16663112.post-19036541049354637472013-08-08T22:04:00.001-07:002013-08-08T22:04:29.184-07:00Organic Farm, San Gimignano, and Volterra (June 11)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I actually took my computer with us to Italy in the hopes that I would blog every day as we did in China, but the connections were so sporadic that I gave up.<br />
<br />
I am going to try and hit the highlights, but there were so many. We were in Europe for a month, came home for a few days and then met Lily's friend Lyla and her family down in Carlsbad at the beach house for a week, and then back home for a few days and then off to Cape Cod for Meilynn's adoption reunion, and then back for a few days and down to Carlsbad.<br />
<br />
We got out of school June 6 and took off on June 9th. Meghan, Nick, and baby Natalie flew over with us. Kami flew from Barcelona where she lives and met us in Florence, Italy. We hadn't seen her in over a year! <br />

Finally we see Kami! There was a little mix up with our car here in Florence. They tried to tell us that this little tiny car was a van. There was no way that we would have fit in it. And even if we had we would not have been able to take all of our suitcases. <br />

We make it to our Villa! This is the view from our terrace. It was beautiful! It was in the small town of Positano. Do any of you watch House Hunters International? My dream is to take a year and live somewhere in Italy. We spent a week at this Villa and traveled out each day to explore historical towns of Tuscany.<br />

With all of the end of the year activities and two birthdays and getting ready for our summer trips it is crazy around here. We are taking the whole family to Italy and Spain! <br />
<br />
But first, we finished our 100 Day Pledge to Eat Real Food and we are going to continue but allow ourselves the occasional, hmmm..... what do I call it. I don't want to say treat, because we have found that real foods taste like treats to us now. I guess I will just call it the "occasional food" or "sometime food" for the girls. With the end of the year parties I am letting them make their decisions on food outside our house. They have surprised me over and over. For example there have been quite a few "reward pizza parties" and all three of the big girls have asked for me to make their pizza rather than have the take out pizza. Yes, it is more work, but to see them make good choices is worth it.<br />
<br />
Meilynn had her birthday and wanted only "real" foods. We made banana bread and the "cake" was a "real' brownie made with only real ingredients like, cacao, pure maple syrup and whole wheat flour. We put "real" whipped cream on top.<br />

On the way home I noticed a fire. It looked very close to our house. They closed the freeway and it took me an hour to get off of it. I was finally able to get home to find that the fire had come to the top of our street. They sent in the helicopters and big planes with the fire retardant and were able to put it out rather quickly. They were at the top of our street all day watching for any flare ups. I took the girls up the street and the firemen were so nice. They let the girls sit in the fire engine and answered their many questions.<br />

We are on day 76 of our eating only "real foods"! I am so proud of my family! I do need to seek out some more recipes. We are getting tired of the ones we have been eating, even though we love them. This morning I made donuts from The 100 Days of Real Food site. <a href="http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/" target="_blank">http://www.100daysofrealfood.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girls loved them. I made chocolate and regular. I had to laugh when the girls thought they tasted just like donuts from the donut shop. Their tastebuds have gotten used to having just a little sweetness. I wonder what will happen when they do taste sugar again?</div>

Jilliana was learning the letters P and Q last week. The class was going to make individual pizzas out of english muffins, which of course we cannot have due to the sugar. So I played around with our Whole Wheat Pizza recipe to make her and individual one to take. We usually cook the pizza dough along with the pizza. I had to make several to get one that would work. She took her pizza, sauce, cheese and pineapple for the topping.<br />

Emma and Meilynn had an egg drop experiment for school. Unfortunately they started early so I missed Emma's egg drop.<br />
The assignment was to come up with some design, by yourself to protect an egg from the janitor dropping it off the roof of the school. Emma took an oatmeal carton and filled it with those soft plastic bags filled with air that you get in boxes in the mail. Of course I get a lot of those from Zulily. Most of the girls clothes lately have been coming from there. She practiced at home dropping it from upstairs to downstairs and it made it every time. However, when they did it on this day it broke.<br />
<br />
Meilynn chose a parachute design and it was successful. They didn't get graded on whether the egg made it or not. The grade was how well they could tell the class about their idea and how they came up with it. Both girls got A's!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Emma after her launch, still smiling<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Friday was a minimum day for school. Lily's class was going to do an egg hunt at 9:30 and Jilliana's class was doing an egg hunt too. We knew that it was going to be really hard for Jilliana with our 100 day pledge to eat real food on this day. The class was going to have a party and frost carrot cake muffins and then have a big Easter Egg Hunt. I actually volunteered to make the muffins since I had a no sugar recipe using "real" foods. So that was going to be ok. But the more I thought about the egg hunt I knew that it wasn't a good idea. So we gave the girls the choice of going to school or going motorcycle riding with Mike. They all chose to go riding. Which means I got a whole day to go shopping! I hadn't been in so long. First I dropped the muffins off at Jilliana's school and then I went to Target, Cost Plus, DSW. Then I drove 45 minutes away to our nicest mall. I spent a lot of time in Macy's and Bath and Body works. I even found a place that sells a green juice!<br /><br />The girls had a great time and I had some much needed time alone.</span></td></tr>

Then the girls got cleaned up. I made pizza, and we began decorating the eggs. Aunt Julie dropped by and Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Debbie came over to help decorate. This year I remembered which eggs I had dyed and which were still raw:) (Last year I some how got them all mixed up and we had some raw eggs and some hard boiled eggs. We found this out when Jilliana dropped one on the floor.) It was easy to tell since our organic eggs are brown and the ones we dyed were white.<br />

I found a recipe for "Cadbury cream filled eggs" using only "real" ingredients and no sugar. I didn't have egg molds so I used heart. This is the first chocolate thing we have had since we started our plan. It was made with Cacao powder which is one of the "Super Foods", coconut butter, pure maple syrup and vanilla. The cream frosting had cashews, coconut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. They are not low calorie at all, but they use real foods and follow the rules of our 100 day pledge to only eat real foods. It is funny, how one was more than enough. We are not used to something so rich. The only sad thing is that we all tasted it and were so excited to have chocolate for the first time that I felt bad for Emma. She does not like chocolate in any form. I wish that I had something new for her to try too. Mike gave her a little piece of banana bread and she was fine, but we have banana bread all of the time.<br />

Umm. With a list like that you would think it is Christmas. Isn't she just the cutest thing?<br />
<br />
Meilynn also wrote a letter.<br />
<br />
Dear Easter bunny,<br />
Our family can not have any processed food that means candy. We can not have processed food because we took a 100 day pledge to not eat processed food. Love the Poma family<br />
<br />
Meilynn's wish list<br />
1. make up<br />
2. Jewelry<br />
3. rainbow markers<br />
4. crayons pencils<br />
5. colored paper<br />
6. princess coloring book<br />
7. princess crown and princess things.<br />
8. Hello Kitty things<br />
9. and any other things.<br />
Love Meilynn<br />
I love stickers too.<br />
<br />
I am proud of them with how they are taking our pledge so seriously. Their replacements for the little bit of candy that they normally get are hilarious. I think the bunny may deliver on a few of those things:)<br />
<br />
My girls really do know the real reason for the season. Their prayers are so sweet and heartfelt. Our family has been so blessed. We hope that you all enjoy this very special day with your family. We will go to church tomorrow. All four girls are singing in the choir tomorrow for Easter and then everyone will come over for lunch after church. We will miss Kami, she is still in Barcelona, but she is on our hearts and it is only 72 days until we will see her. We are excited that Meghan, Nick and our grand daughter Natalie will be here tomorrow as well as my sister, Debbie and her boyfriend Tom, my sister Julie and her boys Frankie and Nicky, and my Mom and Dad and Aunt Claudia.<br />
Happy Easter!<br />

Spring Break is over! I will really miss it. I love having my girls home. I love not having to run around like crazy to all of the activities and school. It was a bit more challenging being away from home on our 100 Days of eating real food, but we did it. We found a couple of places to eat out, but we also brought all of our things to make bread, granola, and our other favorites.<br />
<br />
I took the girls to see OZ without even reading anything about it. It was a little grown up for them and I don't really think it was all that good. It was interesting since it was about before the Wizard of Oz that we know. We brought our own popcorn since we cannot have refined oils and we were just as satisfied.<br />

And what do you think this is? If you guessed the ingredients for a salad you would be wrong. After watching the video, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, I went out and bought a juicer. This is the ingredients for my juice. This makes one big glass of juice.<br />
<br />
I decided to go on a juice fast at the end of the spring break.<br />

This one was much better. It had honeydew melon in it. My favorite one in the morning has strawberry, apple, and oranges in it. It looks really pretty too.<br />

Today we planted a little container garden. Jilliana and Meilynn helped me plant. Meilynn, my mommy's little helper went to buy the plants and seeds with me.<br />

Mike has a friend that teaches at the Honda Riding School. He had a family cancel and asked Mike if the girls would like to come out and take a class. I was all for this. Since the girls are riding I think it is important that they at least learn to ride as safely as possible. Here they are just after they got their gear on. The riding clothes didn't come small enough for Emma and Meilynn so they had to fold the pants down. Also, the boots didn't come that small so they had to use their own. Jilliana was too young. You have to be at least 6, but she went along to help her Daddy take pictures.<br />
