Project 365 - Week 27

While starting to post my 365 pictures, Gracie seized the opportunity by sitting on my lap, asking me to put her hair in a ponytail.

Me:  "Gracie, your legs are cold."

Her:  "Your legs are warm... and spike-y."

Nice.

Here's our week...

Sunday

 
Daddy is still out of town, so we spent the afternoon running errands and picking out a belated birthday gift, compliments from Grandma J... and somehow ended up at Pei Wei. ;)
{Yeah, I know their birthdays are in January and March.}

My darling daughter who often touts of not being a 'girlie girl' wanted a big Barbie set, and the self-proclaimed 'girlie girl' wanted horses.  You know, since Mommy and Daddy are depriving her of not have a real horse.

Monday

Nothing like starting the week off at the dentist.  I know.  We have too much fun around here. ;)  Gracie needed to get a filling fixed {the dentist guessed it had been damaged from grinding her teeth}.  To help with the visit, she brought along her new horse, Ginger.

If you hadn't already noticed, she's wearing the same shirt. I think she may have even slept in it, too.  I didn't want to pick that battle... and deal with the dentist.

Tuesday

New books for the reading club!  Nator gets her first prize {a coupon for baseball tickets}!

Wednesday

DK's schedule is all over the map these days... and he's tired.  He just returned from Louisiana and Florida... and now he's preparing for Alabama.  We managed to squeeze in an early family breakfast at Panera before the girls and I met friends for a dollar movie {Planet 51}.

Now... if only I could figure out how to disconnect his phone from receiving 'urgent' work-related emails or texts during family time.  Oi.

Thursday

Thursday started an ongoing rain-shower, thanks to hurricane Alex, so I've been knocking out a few small projects like this...

LOVE vinyl lettering.

Friday

It was raining giraffes and elephants, but we met friends for lunch anyway.  They brought silly bandz. :)

Clarissa is at such an exciting season of her life.  She just returned from a missions trip, and now she's off to Alaska to visit her boyfriend who's living there for the summer {well, after she drives to CA with her family, that is}.  Then, she's going back to Bible college after the summer.

Saturday

More rain, so the girls did more of this... tent making and singing, with an occasional dance recital from Gracie.  I could watch her dance all day.  Nator was singing away with her iPod to the tunes of The Sound of Music.

I finally started working on organizing school curriculum that needs to be given or donated.  Why am I having trouble letting go of the young elementary books?  Of course, it didn't help when Gracie handed me a huge stack of DVD's, telling me that they were too young for her.  Since they never watch them anymore, I've known the day was coming.

Farewell, Dora, Blue's Clues, Strawberry Shortcake, Barney, Rolie Polie Olie, Bear in the Big Blue House, Care Bears, Little Einsteins, Winnie the Pooh...  {some of} you will be missed.  Sigh...

Okay, DK should be home sometime within the next 24 hours?? That should give me plenty of time to make my legs, ummm... less spike-y.
