"D" Day and 100 Days of School

DJ Charlotte took her disco ball to school today so her class could have a dance party! Miss Julie told her to bring her disco ball for a dance party every Friday so I think it was a success! 

And Julia celebrated 100 days of school today! 

Q Day!

Charlotte took Queso and Quesadilla's for snack today for Q day! Everyone brought in their quilts for share day, Charlotte took her blanket, and made a blanket fort. Such a fun Q day! 

Party Day!

Today was party day at Miss Julie's! Charlotte was so excited for her first Miss Julie's party and it did not disappoint. They bobbed for apples, played carnival games, jumped in the bounce house, busted a pinata, and ate yummy food.

 Tonight Jessica and Layla picked Charlotte up and took her to a Halloween concert at ESCC. I told Jessica she was brave but she said they were good and Charlotte loved going somewhere with a friend by herself!

Share Day - Letter S

Today was Share Day for letter S.  Today's share day item proved to be a little more difficult since we're all packed up and living at Mom's, but we managed to find a Stuffed Scarecrow and Charlotte was pretty happy about it. She said that Miss Julie asked her what she wanted to tell her friends about her stuffed scarecrow and she told them that she liked to snuggle with him. She said "That was kinda not the truth because I just found him last night, but it's ok. Miss Julie doesn't know that"!

Wildcats and Sleeping Babies

Today was Charlotte's first show and tell at Miss Julie's Their letter this week was A so she took her American Girl doll. After school I asked her how show and tell was. She said "well, Miss Julia thought I said her name was LACE, not GRACE! But I just went with it"!

 

It started raining minutes before school got out today so I didn't have time to call and tell Julia to go thorough the car line. Instead Rosemary and I walked over to Hillcrest and met her at the door with her rain coat. Rosemary loved being in the stroller and looking out.

Our realtor came today and took pictures of our house to put it back on the market next week. Here's hoping the third time's a charm!

And, because you can never see enough pictures of sleeping babies!

Frozen Fun & a Surprise!

Today was Julia's long awaited trip to see SEADAC's Spring perforamnce of Frozen at the Dothan Civic Center. Julia has been looking forward to it since it was mentioned at Open House in August! We rode over with Christina and Lilly and the four of us met some of the other kids and their moms for lunch at La Parilla afterwards. It was a fun morning and such a treat for this working mom!

This afternoon we had a special surprise for the girls. We have been waiting for these to come in the mail so we could tell them our surprise and they finally came this week!

 

We're going to Disney World!

Charlotte was more excited than I thought she would be. I wasn't sure if she would really understand what Disney World is, but I guess she does. Tonight was my semi-annual girls night with Allison for Mexican and the consignment sale in Ozark. Michael said that when he told Charlotte they were about to get ready for bed that she went in her room and put on her shoes and said that she was ready for Disney World. When he told her we weren't going tonight she started crying inconsolably! Hopefully the next few weeks will pass quickly and we'll be on our way to the happiest place on earth before we know it!

Back to School

Today was Julia and Charlotte's first day back after Christmas break and my first day back with students. Julia was just a little bit excited about going back to school. I hope she's always this excited to go back after Christmas break!

Programs & Field Trips & Christmas! Oh my!

Charlotte had her first Christmas program this morning. She was so excited about everyone coming to watch her sing at school. She must have said a hundred times "you come watch me sing?"

"Look at my happy face, Mama!"

Oh, I see this face a lot...

I had to laugh at this picture. The three of them stood with their hands in their mouths for most of the program!

 For as much as she's been singing these songs at the house the past few weeks she didn't sing much on stage, but she didn't cry and she stood there happy so I'll count that a success!

Julia came to her program too, but it was impossible to get a picture of them together. Unfortunately Dad & Granddad had to work so they weren't able to come, but they've both already watched the video!

After Charlotte's program Julia and I went to All About Art to meet her class to paint Christmas ornaments. She's been asking to go for months so she was extra excited about this field trip!

After Julia's field trip & Charlotte's school we met Michael at Chick-Fil-A for lunch. This afternoon was naps, play doh, and painting before dance class for Julia & dinner at Saki with Granddad & GranDi. It was a perfect day off, too bad I still have 3 days of work this week!

Indians & Turkeys

Julia had her first Thanksgiving program today at Miss Julie's. It was precious. She was precious. Everything was precious. She did such a good job, I was one proud mama!

Charlotte was there too, but she wasn't too interested in taking a picture. Julia kept taking her headband off and saying "Look Cha Cha, it's just me, Julia".

My beautiful Riding Horse

Practicing her bow and arrow skills like any good Indian

We got out of school this afternoon for a whole week! Woo hoo!  The girls and I celebrated with some outside playtime while we waited on Daddy to get home. Their favorite part was the wagon ride. I hope this beautiful weather sticks around and we get lots of outside playtime in this week!
