we interrupt this regularly scheduled storm…   January 19, 2010

to bring you highlights from our month so far:

new art classes for both girls:) miss e starts later this week. miss m and i had a ball this morning! we painted our hearts out using lots of different textures, we sculpted faces, hair, and animals out of clay, we created gingerbread men and women, and we made a very special friend a gift. they are all still drying and will be home next week. after we cleaned up, we danced silly songs, and made new friends. can’t wait to see what miss e creates in her class!

lovin the gym…been enjoying the variety and quality of the teachers our gym offers. my fave right now is mr jimmy’s body sculpt and miss rachel’s cardio sculpt. lovin step again too, and miss susan’s body sculpt and zumba baby! been going 4-5 days a week…yes, i will be bringing my gear on down to cha with me!

watching my e girl dance! she literally shines in her class, and is so very happy doing so!

bible study at church. has been really really really good. one of my fave classes conflicts with that time. so, i will trade off every other weekend. til i can get that jimmy workout in somewhere else, just as effective.

that daddy finally asked where we can put up our chalkboard, and now have weekly bible study lessons at home right in front of us, v. the impromptu when we remember to do them.

lovin our movie dates…some with just hubby, some with just miss e, and some for the whole family:) thank goodness for the entertainment book coupons! my faves the past few months:

-princess and the frog
-blind side
-the book of eli

my girltime. getting together and creating alongside these girls makes me just giddy! sometimes i am productive…other times i’m not. thanks hubby for letting me have my girltime, esp the all day crops!

lastly, getting to play with…MLS‘ brand new lines coming out for winter CHA!

Here’s my creations with Away We Go!
