Birthday Girl

Thank you Grammie!!!

Tired



American Girls

What a day - these girls shopped like pros! I am embarrassed to say that I spent more here than when I went shopping on Rodeo Drive. The store and bistro were so crowded you could hardly walk around. Nothing like a 2 hour wait so a doll can eat a fake cupcake.

We celebrated E's birthday today with her cousins. Thank you Grammie for her doll that she opened in the store and hasn't put down since.

Each girl got a new AGD accessory and we saw the new movie OZ. Good day - I am pooped but the girls are on an ice cream and cupcake high.

Happy 6th Bday Belle!!! Thanks for being the silliest part of our family. You always make me smile.

St James School District

...should change its tag line to:

Learning: Whatever it Takes... As long as it doesn't interfere with sports.

I think it's ridiculous that the elementary school has gotten out of school early, two days in a row, because of high school basketball games. I haven't talked to a single parent that is happy about this decision.

Let high schoolers either support the team or stay in school but middle and elementary schools should not be affected by these games.

And with that said... Go Lady Tigers!!!

The little things

Some nights I think I have the best little family in the whole world. The stars align and the little things that usually bother me don't matter so much. What matters is that LMA practiced her piano (without tears) and has her piece almost memorized. That E got in trouble and apologized all on her own. There is a pile of laundry as high as the washer but I didn't let it put me in a bad mood. Tonight we had J's b-day cake early and the girls went to bed all on their own, without any fuss. They looked so sweet when I went to check on them. Some nights I'm just lucky and grateful.
