It is 1 am and I can't sleep, so...might as well blog. I am really LOVING this challenge that Misty made for me. I really have so much to be thankful for...and I tend to be a little on the whiney/complainey side...so this challenge has really got me looking and thinking of things that make me happy daily. I find that (shocker)..if I go around looking for happy...then I become..HAPPY. if Matt were awake instead of presently snorring next to me, he would say "told you so".
Day 10. I love it when Lauren asks me to do her hair and when she gets all dressed up. I told Lauren she looked like Shirley Temple...she didn't have any idea who that was. Sadly enough, Shirley died not long after this pic was taken.
DAY 11. My little sister, Sarah, got a new puppy and she brought him over to see us. Needless to say, my kids loved Winston. Can't you just see the happiness in Jamie's eyes? I would really love a dog, Matt says...not so much. Boo. Maybe one day.
DAY 12. In an attempt to get my daughter to love dance as much as I do, I paid a good chunk of change for these dance pants. They are the latest Hip Hop fad, er..or is it an old fad coming back around (I mean I never actually wore "Hammer" pants). Sometimes this litle girl cracks me up, and maybe it is her trying to mesh things of my generation with things of her generation. For example, she asked me if these were called "Army" pants and I told her.."no, sometimes they are called 'Harem' pants", because they kind of look like "Genie" pants and me just thinking she was just jumbling the words. She says "No, Armie Hammer" and I said "As in the guy from 'The Lone Ranger'?" And then I started giggling, seeing where she went with that. I said "MC Hammer, is what you mean". I quickly explained the subtle difference..MC Hammer is a black rapper from the 90's and Armie Hammer is a very tall white actor from the 2010's. You would think the child would learn...but the other day while skating when "You Can't Touch This" came on, she quickly shouted "Armie Hammer!" Well...close baby, so close.
Day 13. I really love the kids' new school. I love their old school too, don't get me wrong, but I love the principal and teachers and the push with Math and Science. They also get to do fun things like go on field trips, I never got cool field trips like that. Here is a pic of such trip, that I stole off the school's Facebook page. Check out my poser!
