Project 365 - Week 5

  Sunday

The Saints are going to the Superbowl!!   
"leh ZEH leh BAWN taw ROO leh"
That's how you say...
Let the good times roll!

Monday

On our way to bring DK to the airport.  We were out and about entirely too early... at least for a homeschooling family, that is.  ;)  Too many refineries in these parks.  They say it's the smell of money.  Blech.

Tuesday

I know how you feel, Jasmine.  Tuesday's to-do list always makes me feel like this.  This is after her 2 mile walk.  Mama had already gone to the gym, ran errands, played 'mom-taxi', and.... I think we get the point.

Wednesday

While Gracie is in dance class, Nator and I always get a chance to catch up.  Just the two of us.  She will sometimes ask deep questions about life and God... Does God make bad things happen so that He can show us something?  No.  God does not make bad things happen.  Sometimes, that's just life, but God is always... loving.

We also reviewed schoolwork.

 

Guess who's at the dinner table? ;)

Thursday

Our last night with just us gals before Daddy comes back home, so we had our annual all-girls movie night.  The Parent Trap.  However, the girls were a lil' distracted... putting on 'puppet' shows with their dollhouse figures.  Their dialogue is so funny.  Oh... and see how the creativity of using exercise equipment for other purposes begins at such an early age? 

When it was over, I went straight to work on Gracie's special project.

Friday

 

Gracie's 8th birthday!  

"Mom, do you remember how at my friend's birthday party all her friends were tugging at her and didn't want to share her?"

"Yeah."

"I can't wait to have that at my party.  I can't wait to be famous."

She was the birthday princess on parade as we picked up DK from the airport.  

 

From there, we headed straight to Build-a-Bear, then Luby's {a cafeteria of all places}.  That's exactly what she wanted.  She said it was the best birthday ever!  ;)

See the denim "skinny leg jeans"... for stuffed bears?

  
Saturday

We took the girls to see The Secret Garden.  I knew Nator would love it.  She had just read the book and watched the movie.  She was quick to point out that many parts were missing.  I had to explain to her that this was only a 45 minute play.   {It took us longer to drive there!}  Gracie, on the other hand, was not so impressed and kept asking when we could leave.  Gotta love her honesty.  ;)  It's all good.  We're taking them to see the new Toothfairy movie tomorrow.  They're both looking forward to that one.

Feel free to join in the fun!

I'm sure Sara would love to have you! ;)
