tgif...

a friend of mine, gerri, gave me a coffee mug
for my birthday that reads "thank God i'm fabulous!"
nice, right?

so, anne & pete...are you enjoying your interruption
free nights!? these darn cats of yours are like
little amandas & emilys! (throw in the fact that
spice is in heat for like the 10th time!).
they start up around 5 and don't stop until you get
up! spice just howls all day. at first i thought it was cute.
sometimes it's like she's talking...it's weird.
now? it's just...well, not so cute.
i do love them so!

so, yesterday...i arranged for amanda to go right to
nicole's after lunch so i could head home to work.
she didn't want to come along this time...shocker!
then at 1:30 the neighborhood had a play~date (right
next door) so she went over there. i got back around 4.
emily went directly to a girls scout function after
school...a trip to the bakken museum in minneapolis. she got a little freaked out by the
frankenstein exibit (which later led to me sleeping
with her in her bed).

amanda had a "welcome first graders" thing at her
new school and so we got her all dressed up!
(anne wrote in her notes to me to be sure she was
"looking cute!" so i made certain).
i taught amanda an important girl lesson yesterday...
"someimes, you have to start with the shoes and build
the outfit from there!" she liked that idea so we started
with her cute cowboy boots!
we had a little photo shoot before we left the
house and that was fun! my little fashionista! :)



um, this was her idea with the tree!









no plans today~~no gymnastics. no girlscouts. no piano.
just school and whatever we want to do!
sounds like an expensive day to me!
haven't really had one pool day, it's been too cool.
and now, today, it's cloudy. they are calling for
rain tomorrow and maybe sunday...bummer!
i was planning a cinco de mayo pool party for tomorrow!
scott, nicki & the girls...mike, kindra & owen....
well, we'll see i guess.
nine is off today too so maybe we'll go do something
when the girls are at school today. (nine is my mom)

tonight we were going to try a bon fire and smores if
it's not too windy or raining!

pete, sorry for calling so late last night...
we sorted everything out. everyone is happy!

happy friday everyone!
