Cheetos

So, how do YOU eat your cheetos? I am not a fan of the messiness of this orange food [is it really a food?] so I was thrilled when she wanted to use her chopsticks to eat them. What a smart kid!

All in a Days Work

As life would have it, our laundry room is downstairs. I started, when Mac was a baby, carrying her in the basket to the laundry ... well she still loves it and now I am carrying around 28 pounds of her AND the laundry. I hate to see these days end as it seems she is getting to be such a big girl now. I guess you could say that I still like the times when she is like my little girl. I suppose that I can count this as my work out???

Tea Party Time

My folks came for a short visit [along with my sister and her son] and they had some fine tea parties on the deck. As you will notice they are all practicing their manners and holding out their pinkies while drinking tea. I have great memories of having tea with my Mom when I was a kid. There were many days we sat at, or under, the table having afternoon tea. It was fun to see the tradition carry on.

PreSchool part two

Quick update ... the second day of preschool went GREAT! I still feel silly that in my need to prepare her to be at school, I forgot to mention I would not be there. We talked about her going to school and I would go to work ... and I would come back and get her. She walked right into her room, found her desk and sat down ... waved and smiled. What a relief!

First Day Jitters

Today was McKaden's first day of pre-school. After much talk about school, practicing raising her hand, the pledge of allegiance and writing her name ... the big day came. I guess what I forget to tell her was that I was going to leave her there ... ooops. There were some tears, but overall a great first day. What a big girl we have!

The Sisterhood of the Traveling PINK Cowboy Boots

Mac is blessed to be close in age to her cousins that live close by. Every now and again we get some great hand me downs ... these pink boots were given to her. Mac's cousin Faith has loved her pink boots for some time - in fact her mother told me that Faith would choose to wear those boots with everything! These boots have made their way to our home and the "Sisterhood" continues. Mac wants to wear these everyday ... and puts them on with every outfit. She wears them shopping, to the aquarium and to the fair. I don't pictures but she wore them with shorts the other day ... great way to start conversations with strangers!!! I wonder where these boots will take her next ...
