Funny Z story

My girl definitely has a sense of humor. She enjoys a good laugh and can just find fun about anywhere she goes.

We were at J's birthday party today and my pretty princess, in fancy dress, tights and her "ballet flats", lets a very unladylike toot. A big one.

"Oh, that was a fart," says Z. "Excuse me."

All the adults - "Giggle, chuckle, snort."

Next thing, we hear a very large what was probably a drill or some other power tool make a very large toot-ish sound. One of the grown-ups says "Zoe, was that you?"

Z totally got the joke! She laughed and laughed! She covered her mouth and said "No! That was a car!" She laughed as much as the adults did!

I guess you had to be there. But, as the late George Carlin said - "Farts are funny."

Especially when they come from my prissy little girl in a very NON-prissy manner and she just goes on like nothing happened.

Holy crap, I'm glad that's over

The presentation to the school board is finished.  So much time preparing and the anticipation was definitely the worst part.  What should we add?  What should we not include?  What possible questions will they have about this or that?  What should we wear?

All pressing questions.

Anessa and I rocked out the math portion.  I'm still so in awe about how well her kids did last year on the math OAT test.  Completely off the charts with respect to how much progress they made in a year.  

She and I are meeting next week again to work some more on the extended response math journals.  We knocked out the Kindergarten one in a little over an hour.  Hopefully the teachers will think that it's as awesome as we do!

Anyway - BLT team, we knocked it out.  Everyone knew their stuff, we got to show off a little of what we've done at Woodlawn Elementary School.  

Testing's over, let's wrap up this school year.

She's definitely a girl!


My little princess has found a new favorite movie!  Tinkerbell!  

I think we watched it 4 times in the last 2 days.  

This morning we watched it in full princess gear - a Thumbelina dress, ballet slippers and her new crown from Mamaw that lights up and has pink maribou feathers on it.  

Oh, my.  

She's fond of running through the house, more like prancing, singing at the top of her lungs - "I'm a girl, I'm a girl, I'm a girl!"  

Daddy and I just look at each other and say "Oh, yes.  She's definitely a girl!"

Tupperware!


I have loved Tupperware for a LONG time and I've finally decided that I could totally do that! My friend Josie is helping me out and I'm really looking forward to getting some great stuff, meeting new people and making a little extra money!

Fundraiser anyone? Party? You can do it online - you don't even have to clean your house!

Check it out!

Strep, ugh

Z had had this twice already this year. Within about 1 month. C took her to the doc Wednesday and the PNP mentioned the tonsils possibly coming out.

Oh, no.

My husband almost died when he had his tonsils out as a child.

Not that this will necessarily happen, but that's the first thing I thought of.

Hopefully twice will be it, since they won't do anything until she's had it 5 times in one year.

Cross your fingers!
