Tuesday, June 15th, 2010I was asked about Tabitha’s current grade level by no less than 3 people last week. This leads me to believe others might have the same question so I thought I’d kind of spell it out for anyone wondering.
She turned 11 this past January, so if she were in a brick and mortar school […]
“it’s a small world”
Monday, April 19th, 2010Small World outfit- Done! Daisy wore it to Disneyland yesterday so I took lots of pics in front of the attraction. She’s wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath since it was cool in the morning and of course I didn’t get a single picture later after it had been taken off, but that’s okay.
I […]
just a tuesday
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010Nothing really interesting to report for today. We had dance classes early this morning and violin this afternoon. In between Tabitha did French, spelling and math and Daisy read to me at violin.
I talked to Daisy a bit about dancing because she mentioned wanting to be in her normal class this summer (as opposed to […]
party time
Monday, April 5th, 2010I’ve finally got Daisy’s party pictures up as well. Enjoy!
American Girl Place
Monday, April 5th, 2010I forgot about our trip to Ameircan Girl Place for the girls’ birthdays. I just finished those pictures and they are up on their own page.
American Girl Place
Now, onto party pictures (after I take care of children’s lunch needs).
daisy-ism
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Since I haven’t been up to blogging the last couple of days, I thought I’d quickly dash off something Daisy said on Saturday. The girls dance performance was at a private school (a rather nice looking one at that) and so Daisy says, “When I grow up, if I’m not a normal adult, I think […]
Month 3 (12 Project)
Saturday, March 20th, 2010March 2010 will forever be known as Cookie Madness. We did nothing but eat, sleep, and breathe cookies. Tabitha and I had a total of 9 booth sales, 7 of which were in March. All family activities were put on hold. In the end, Tabitha sold an amazing 755 cookies.
New this month: Tabitha has […]
avoiding work
Thursday, March 4th, 2010I owe about 6 emails, need to paint a sign, need to bundle cookies, and need to package cookies for mailing.
Look at me avoid it all!
I’m sitting here shivering and realize that I haven’t really been warm the entire day. I think I’ll grab a blanket to wrap myself in while we watch Survivor.
Talked […]
Monkey See
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010We tried to beat the rain today and headed to a park for our little monkey to do some climbing. I know I said we weren’t going to go extra places for a couple weeks, but Chris and I are trying to give Daisy many opportunities to put her climbing tendancies to good use. We’re […]
The pics are done!
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Daisy’s 5th Birthday
That wasn’t so bad afterall, only took me about an hour to get all the pictures done. I will be putting up another picture page in a couple days that will include our room at They Disneyland Hotel (recently remodeled and gorgeous!), our day at American Girl Place, and her party that is […]
waiting for Tuesday
Sunday, February 7th, 2010At this point I’m actually looking forward to when Lost is on so I can get Daisy’s pictures up.
Today marked the 5th, and final, day of celebrating Daisy’s birthday. We ended with a trip to the American Girl Place. It was a girls’ day being that it was myself, Daisy, Tabitha, and my MIL. […]
too many pics to even think of going through right now
Thursday, February 4th, 2010And a good time was had by all We not only went to Disneyland all day on Wednesday, we stayed overnight at the Disneyland Hotel to celebrate Miss Daisy turning the big 5!! I will get to the pictures, but goodness knows it won’t be tonight. I am exhausted, as is the entire […]
birthday eve
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010We’ve spent the whole day at Disneyland celebrating Daisy’s Birthday Eve. We’re heading back into the park tomorrow for a few more hours for more Birthday Magic!
Details and pictures to come later.
day of rest
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Two days in a row with no plans is my limit. I spent a good portion of the day wishing we could go out and about. Initially I had thought I would work on Daisy’s robe and party invitations this weekend. But when I was faced with it, I’d rather spend the time with my […]
cradle and all
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009So Daisy has taken to acting out the song “Rock-a-bye Bab” when we sing it. But when we get to the part that goes “and then down will come bay-bee” she puts her arms up like she’s flying, opens her mouth and her eyes wide and looks terrified to simulate falling. It does not get […]
Fair Square
Sunday, October 4th, 2009Thursday was a jam-packed day starting with the fair! We look forward to this time every year. I’ve been going since I was a kid since my day really enjoys fairs of all kinds. The fair bug kind of stuck with me when I grew up. Tabitha has been entering competitions in the fair since […]
daisy quote
Monday, September 14th, 2009“I love everything!”
“Except walls.”
::long pause::
“But ceilings are pretty nice.”
maybe so
Monday, August 24th, 2009Little exchange that took place on Friday.
Me: Daisy, sit down in your chair! How many times have I told you to sit down in your seat?
Daisy: Maybe, I don’t want to sit.
Me: Maybe, I didn’t ask you if you wanted to.
Daisy: Well, maybe, nyah-nyah-nyah!
I could have sent her to her room or laughed.
I laughed
Whoops!
Friday, August 21st, 2009Ack! I don’t even know the last time I posted! What the heck? Um, we’re good here, does that suffice? If so, move along, nothing to see here.
If you actually stay and want more then thank you, I guess It all seems too mundane and I’ve got nothing in the way of interesting. […]
I got nothing
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Sometimes when I’m not blogging it’s because we’ve got so much going on that I don’t have time. Not this week. We’ve been enjoying a whole lot of nothing. We’ve managed a couple things here and there. We took Daisy to a play area at the mall and then stopped in the bookstore. I bought […]
Nature ain’t always pretty
Saturday, August 8th, 2009I headed into the backyard today with the intent of getting the bird nest down so the girls and I could examine it. Upon climbing on a chair to reach for it, I promptly got down and went back into the house to don gloves. Apparently, all that time the mother bird sits on […]
pick me up
Thursday, August 6th, 2009Around 10:30 this morning I realized how badly I needed a nap. Considering I woke up at 7 and went to bed early, that wasn’t a good sign. I held out until 11:30 and then went to lay down. I couldn’t get comfy, which may have had to do something with the two light sabers […]
you spin me round round
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Today Daisy and I went to Disneyland while Tabitha was in her class. That kid ran me ragged and I ended up feeling nauseous and like I was still in motion even when I wasn’t. We started off nice and tame with “it’s a small world,” but then it was twice in a row on […]
Recital Day!
Saturday, June 27th, 2009I’m exhausted as I spent 3 hours in a room with approx. 35 girls age 3-6. Chris actually went to the store to buy me Calgon, lol. Anyway, here are my beautiful girls after the recital. I think Chris got better pics than I, but I’m too tired to go through them right now. The […]
end of another week
Friday, June 26th, 2009I remember when Friday meant nothing to me and neither did the weekends. Now it means Park Day and a lazy dinner to ease into a fun-filled weekend.
Chris was home sick for a few days this week so the girls and I cleared out so he could recouperate in peace. We went to an […]
mmm, watermelon
Friday, May 22nd, 2009While I work on the pictures from our weekend, here’s a quick pic of Daisy in her newest dress I sewed for her. She picked out the fabric and I already had the pattern. The hat is from a different pattern though still Burda. The hat only had 3 sizes and I made the middle […]
Got a lot of computer time today
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009The girls went off into their room at approx. 9:30 this morning and save for lunch did not come out until roughly 3:30 in the afternoon. It wasn’t some Draconian punishment on my part, they were making a movie together. First they had to figure out their plot line, then they did the “sets” (and […]
What to say?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009I don’t want to stop blogging, but the reality is when things aren’t going very well, I tend to retreat. I don’t exactly pretend that my life is a constant stream of fluffly kitties hacking up sunshine and rainbows, but I also don’t blog details of down times. Plus life keeps throwing curveballs at me […]
foolish ramblings
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009So yesterday I needed to do a favor for my mom and I agreed to it before I had signed the girls up for ice skating. So we found ourselves with a small dilemma and in the end, Chris decided to take a personal day to help out. I talked to him on the phone […]
Got cookies?
Friday, February 27th, 2009Yesterday did not go as planned. Sometime after lunch the girls were playing which somehow consisted of Daisy running at full tilt down the hall way. At one point she ran into her room and on the way out, smacked her head into the door frame. She screamed so much that she started to choke […]
Partying the Anc Fam Way
