All about MEme Monday

 

with MommyBrain and SupahMommy

Tell us about a time you got pulled over.

Well, let’s see….I have gotten pulled over 4-5 times.  The most memorable was the first – when I was 16!  Failure to yield the right-a-way!  A traffic cop was directing school traffic and I thought he told me to go thru….um, apparently NOT!  Boy was I sick on that drive home to tell mom and dad.  YIKES!  I turned on the water works real good  and hey, they were REAL!  I was so scared!

Head on over to Supahmommy’s to play along!

Happy Birthday Mimi!

Beautiful Video

Little bit of fun at Gap Kids and Old Navy

  

  

  

 

I picked up a few bargains last night and today for Sofia.  Lots of great sale stuff!  The pink striped dress will be her valentines dress for sure!  She already has super cute tights to wear with it!

My photostrip says:

I love my beautiful daughter!  She is so funny and lets me take as many pictures of her as I want to!  She is curious, questions everything and a great little girl!  I love that even at 6, she still wants snuggles from me, still sucks  her thumb a little when she is tired and still sleeps with her silky blanket.  My little girl, I wish time would slow down!

Ice Skating

I took Sofia to a free ice skating lesson tonight.  She has never ice skated before!  She did AWESOME!  She fell down only twice!  I was super impressed!

She had a really great time!

100th Day of School

Today was the 100th day of school and the kids got to celebrate in a special way!

Each child was given a hat last week that they had to bring home and decorate with 100 things.  I of course, love these kinds of projects!  I had to make sure I did not turn this into my own project! 

This is what we picked to decorate her hat:

  1. 10 pennies
  2. 10 band-aids
  3. 10 googly eyes
  4. 10 cotton balls
  5. 10 sequin/jewel things that we shaped into an “S” (you know I love a monogram)
  6. 10 glittery princess stickers
  7. 10 foam sticker flowers
  8. 10 safety pins
  9. 10 pony tail holders
  10. 10 strips of ribbon

Check it out!

In other fun school news, I have somehow gotten myself on the decorating committee (I think as the chair) for her school’s Sock Hop next week!  I volunteered to help decorate and then not sure how I got so involved!  We have a meeting in the morning and I will no a little bit more about my job!  I guess this weekend I will be making poodle skirts for us!

Weight Loss

So I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to post about my current diet.  Well, I decided that I did not want to do it here, but instead started a blog just for that.  It is a little embarrassing. If you want to follow along there, just leave a comment and I will send you a link. 

I will also use that blog to get a little more personal about me – not really Sofia’s activities and stuff.  I’m not making any promises that it will be worth reading, but you are welcome to come get a few laughs at my expense!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, it is still cold and raining in AZ and I love it!

Rain, Rain oh how I love you!

It has been raining for 2 glorious days!  I love it!  Listening to it right now beating on the windows!

You see here, where we go sometime 5-6 months without any rain, we need it!   It cleans the sky up from all the pollution, etc.  It smells so nice outside from the Creosote bushes.

that is a creosote.  The same thing that makes those logs to clean your fireplace.  They make the desert smell nice! 

All of the rain will help the desert to look like this in March and April:

It really is great!  Today at work we raised the blinds all the way just to enjoy the cold, dreary day!  Hard to believe I am sure for some of you guys in the South where it seems to rain all the time! 

Have a great Friday!
