Kitty Lovin

Kiki, our cat, absolutely loves Georgia. Not so much Maggie though. As soon as Georgia gets home from school, the cat seeks her out. She knows she's guaranteed lots of good rubbing.

About 3 years ago, Georgia was allergy tested. We found out she is allergic to cats, and her allergist told me we had to gid rid of Kiki. Well, that was a big no-can-do! Georgia would rather sneeze all day than not have her kitty. So Kiki lives the good life in Georgia's hands. She hisses and slaps at Maggie, which is kind-of funny.

Get Your Head In The Game

Brad and I took the girls to see High School Musical: The Ice Tour this Saturday. They were excited to do anything HSM related, and had been looking forward to this day since March, when Brad bought the tickets.

We pack up enough food and beverage to last through 3 shows and we're off. We had great seats right on the ice. I must say, ice shows are a little odd. The voice-overs and skating interpretation get curious at times, but the girls didn't notice.

They did notice the merchandise booths every 10 feet. I was SHOCKED when Brad agreed to get them each $20+ items. I get cheap when it comes to this stuff and was trying to talk them into $10 items (the least expensive there). What's Brad smirking about here?!?

Hopefully we've had our fill of Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay and Ryan for now. At least unitl HSM 3 arrives.

Day 1

I had my first day of school yesterday. It's ridiculous the amount of time I have put in preparing lesson plans for a 3-year old class. Like they care about having the perfect mix of free play, science, art and music. They're all about the free play and eating. It has made me feel a bit guilty about the lack of planning I actually do for my own children. I take them to the park, zoo, plays, puppet shows and storytimes, but I don't sweat over making sure they make 3-d art at least twice a month.

Between this class and my Brownie troop, I have come across a lot of fun science experiments for children. Simple things, like mixing common household ingredients to create homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures. Remember that stuff when you were little? It was like magic.

Back to first day of school - it was crazy! These kids are a great group, but nine 3-year olds together know how to tear up a room. I'm going to have to let some things go I now realize.



Bruise update - it's a nice shade of yellow. Progress is being made.
