This Week's Highlights...

What a week! Highlights include:
Wakko made a really cool lion in art...
Dot got to hang out with her best friend...
Yakko stayed super focused in his school work and was exceptionally sweet...
and Peanut tried rice cereal.
Also, thank you to those who made the boutique such a success! It was tons of fun and we are planning on having another one in November or early December.

Sugar and Spice Boutique

This Saturday, during the fabulous hours that most people hold yard sales, I will be hosting a boutique.  Fun! Totally girly! Come join me at my house (if you don't have the address, please let me know... I will get it to you.) We will have hair bows, head bands, hair butterflies, fairy wings, tutus, wands, hats, 12 inch doll clothes, and more! A little bake sale of sorts is also in the works...
So basically, please show up with your favorite little girls (or little girls at heart!) in mind on Saturday, October 24th any time between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. ready to shop! (Okay, I wish I could, but I can't take credit cards... cash or checks work great, however!) Our prices are quite reasonable and it will be a blast!
*bring a friend and get a prize for free!*

A Short Conversation With Yakko

Yakko: Mom, I need you to enter this math assessment into the computer.
Me: Okay, but it isn't matching up with what it shows you were supposed to do today. Let's look at it.
Yakko: Well, it seems right to me.
Me: Okay, let's pull it up on the computer. (At this point, I notice that the assignment he did is half way through his workbook for the year.) Yakko, I don't think you did the right assignment. This is for unit 8. You're supposed to be in unit 3. This assessment is half way through the book!
Yakko: Huh!? I didn't notice!


By the way... he got 100% on the assessment.

It's 11:20 P.M....


Kitties climbing doors, laughing until one cries, getting potentially life changing (FABULOUS!) news, having friends over for dinner, hubby cooking scones for an hour, and listening to the sounds of my family sleeping... this is what makes life great.
I'm trying to let my mind rest so my body can too, but my heart (and mind) are so full of joy... it seems like sleep doesn't need to visit tonight.

Here, Kitty, Kitty!

Two nights ago I was taking out the kitchen scraps when one of these...

ran across the porch about 18 inches away from me.

Yesterday we got these

to take care of the problem.

Dot's named hers "McGonagall"

Yakko's named his "Crookshanks"

and Wakko's named his "Harry".
Can you guess the theme for their names?
