Fancy Hair

Her teacher must think I'm crazy.

Yes, Grace went to school after she did her own hair and yes, I was okay with it. I was only concerned with the kids being distracted by all the hair "pretties" she had. I guess the only thing Grace was asked is if she did her own hair that morning and it was all by adults.




Fancy hair to go with all her fancy outfits!

Ivie

One of Cameron's friends was not able to make it to his birthday party because she fell asleep and her mom did not want to wake her. I was taught never wake a sleeping baby so I totally understand!

Ivie's mom handed me a card for Cameron when we saw them again at preschool. I gave it to Cameron to open when we came home. We read it together and then he threw it down and hid in the closet crying.

He was upset because she spelled his name wrong.

Fashion

Time to teach him, like I taught his father. Or maybe we will have Gracie teach him a thing or two!



You can see that those are sweat pants, right?

Costco

When mommy and daddy go to Costco for paper towels, what's the best thing to do with them?






I missed the mid run picture.... she was too fast for me!

Disaster Strikes

Pampered Chef Microwave Rice Cooker vs. Me

I think I forgot a cup of water.

J-E-L-L-O

To answer the question of what the surprise REALLY was (not a vacation to Hawaii like Gracie had guessed!).... (drum roll).....it was chocolate pudding!


It was a big thrill for my kids! We don't typically have pudding cups in the house. Poor neglected kids, I know!

Bullet points

Leah has had me hysterical with her stories about her daughter learning about life before technology. You know the days..... card catalogs, typewriters, and computers the size of a Buick.

I guess there is a library in our state capitol that still has a card catalog in the childrens' section in addition to a computer version. I wonder if I would still know how to use one.

Natalie's is "allowed" per her teacher that she can do her spelling word homework on the computer and just print it out to hand in.

A friend of mine was helping her daughter with her homework. She wrote out the word verb and adjective and then numbered the lines below.
After her daughter was done, she asked her mom if she could type it out and put in bullet points.

My friend was a bit stunned when her daughter printed the finished copy, bullet points and all since she isn't quite sure herself how to do it!
