Project 365: 2/2/11

Menchie's outside in February.  I just love living in Florida.  Do you notice all the fruit on top of my frozen yogurt? That is so it feels healthier.  I usually get the Dole Pineapple and Vanilla.  Yum.  Today we were celebrating Straight As again.  Since we are growing a little nerd she was also rewarded with two new books from the bookstore.  We managed to get 6 books for $18 so I can't complain.  Four were for me, they had their classic collection paperbacks for $2.97 each.  I also scored a copy of Alice in Wonderland for $1.

Part One of the Straight A reward.  Aubs wanted to go out for ice cream but Monday and Tuesday nights are dance nights around here.  She settled for Dibs and a promise of Menchie's on Wednesday.

This is what I came home to today.  A freshly showered kiddo and some High School Musical karaoke.

The Girl in her new favorite reading spot.  In an effort to encourage her to read books at her reading level instead of the reading level of her classmates, Mr. T. formulated a plan that included Harry Potter and a presentation. She is also obsessed with Show and Tell.  My copy of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone has been lent to another family, so she is reading my copy from Britain.  She keeps asking about the name change Philosopher's Stone and why the artwork is different.  It was a good lesson in Artist's perspective.

My schedule this week has allowed me to be home a number of the evenings.  Aubs and I had Make Your Own Pizza night.

Opening her gifts from GiGi. I just love that she calls my grandma GiGi, it really does suit her much better than Great Grandma.

The convenient thing of having a birthday that sometimes falls on a holiday, is that your best friend that lives on the other side of the country will also have the day off.  The girls had a breakfast/lunch date via iChat.

Are we a musical family? Why do you ask?
The girls enjoyed performing multiple concerts for us.  This was not the best picture of the bunch but Keira's face was priceless.

Five of the cutest slumber party attendees I have ever seen.

Aubs and Michaela's schedules finally allowed for a nice long conversation. We sure miss our Cowans.

Project 365: 1/13/11

Birthday Shopping for the Girl.  She loves clothes and I love H&M's prices.

The Girl practicing for her audition.  They are doing Willy Wonka Kids. 

Project 365: 1/6/11

I let Aubs give me a makeover today.  She asked that I close my eyes for the picture so everyone could really see her eye makeup job.  She is also the guest photographer for today.

Project 365: 1/2/11

I have been feeling a little down about my weight after the holidays and cruise.  I have gained a few pounds and after all the work I put in to lose it, I was feeling defeated.  However, tonight Aubs asked if she could try on my shirt because it looked like it may fit her.  I wore this on our Mexico day of the cruise.  I figure if my shirt can fit a seven year old, I can't be doing that bad.  Who knew a kiddo playing dress up could be so good for the psyche?

Update: How did I not notice this was my 700th post?
