coming out of the f o g . . .

well, last week was challenging at best!
momma was still fighting a fun virus that had found her.
2nd grade was in full swing with mad hatter tea party preparations, and we were so thankful to other parents who stepped up to help out!
and my dear mom came down, and helped with one of the sewing parties!
yay! an annual 2nd grade tradition at our school- is well underway, and as head room Mom, i so wanted to be there for it all:)
thankful that by friday, i was well enough to pitch in, and see the fun chaos for myself and how much the kids just loved it all!

when momma didn’t feel well, we rescheduled our playdate and, we spent time outside:
chasing bubbles
playing on scooters
practicing golf swings
rehearsing dance numbers for upcoming recitals
and more bubble time
we also did our work:
while momma was working on thank you cards on behalf of MLS,
the girls decided they would join me and do their “work”:

once our “work” was done, the girls’ enjoyed making easter bunnies homes:

and since momma didn’t make the frosting correctly, they used store bought frosting instead:
hoping the bunnies won’t mind…

we went to the store and brought home these:

and worked on a big breakthrough- to get miss m to start
using the BIG potty.
she has been waking up dry first thing in the morning, and will be dry until naptime, sometimes even through naptime.
but, making the transition from toddler potty to BIG potty has been a source of stress for her:
so we’re very proud of you miss m!

on friday night, we went scrappin!!!

and when our dear friend miss k stopped by,
can’t quite put into words how happy i was,
how happy we all were!
and so thankful wragge had her camera…

and how much we’re looking forward to CE 2010!!!

today, daddy got his “work” hat on for spring cleaning at church,
so of course, so did miss e and miss m:

and then after some family nap time,
mommy and daddy went out for a dinner we won at our school auction,
and the girls had a blast with miss h!
thank you, nicole for sharing her:)

so thankful for my family, friends, and finally feeling like myself again:)
and for little happy emails like finding out i won a rak from miss nora!
