Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Mia woke up to a pair of owls Ben had printed her!   

Made another day of not getting to go to school a little easier.

This little girl couldn't be more excited to be heading back to school!

Over a hundred days of school and I managed to miss a picture ... so I took one right before bed.

"What Does The Fox Say?"

Mia is still battling the ear infections.  She had to get a shot of antibiotics and is currently on yet another set orally. We have our fingers crossed that this latest round will knock the infection out!  On a much happier note - we got notification that Mia was one of two kindergartners accepted into the Gifted and Talented program at Woodway.  We are so happy for her!!!  T-Ball starts back up just after spring break - between that and a trip to see my family we are all full of excitement!

So far behind...

I am so far behind on blogging.  With tons of school stuff and gearing up for another craft show I'll catch up soon but probably not this week.

We've had about 3 weeks of sickness around here including Mia's first ever ear infection which has been resistant to antibiotics so far.  We are heading back for our third doctors appointment this afternoon.  She was able to return to school yesterday (finally 24 hours without a fever) but she still can't hear very well.  :(  She cracks me up about her school.  She felt terrible but was still upset with me because I "made her lose her basketball" (the kids get a paper basketball with their name on it put on the wall for the "Never Been Absent").  Needless to say I didn't dare mentioned that she missed crazy sock day too.

We enjoyed a great visit from a Bama friend this weekend and ran ourselves ragged - all the great restaurants, Austin and the zoo kept us busy.   I'll post pics soon!

A shopping trip to Dallas, 100 cheerios and the 100th Day of School!

A shopping trip to Mesquite!

Mia and I jumped in the car with friends and headed up to Mesquite last Saturday to hit up a huge winter clearance store in a cute little shop called Once Upon A Child.  It was a fantastic day with new friends and lots of good deals!  Her outfit is an upcycle I made for her.

This dress was one of my favorite finds at the shop in Mesquite but Mia readily informed me that she didn't like dark brown - she only liked light brown so I asked if she would like it more if I added an "A".  Her reply was "that depends on the fabric you use"  ... little diva!  I've created a monster.  LOL  I have to say tho - I love it when she is opinionated about her clothes, etc. (even if it is frustrating at times).   It is so much fun seeing her come into her own.

This was Mia's favorite outfit from the shopping trip.  She told me she felt like a school teacher and she liked that because she "loves Mrs. Brock and wants to be just like her".

100th Day of School!!!!

Each Kindergartner was asked to bring in a baggy of 100 pieces of dry food to celebrate so Mia counted out cheerios for hers. 

Today is also Jump Rope for Heart day and the theme was "Duck Dynasty".  Mia didn't dress up as Ben and I take issue with the school having a theme day supporting such a small minded, homophobic family.  I find it to be completely disrespectful to all our minority students and refuse to participate.  

Where did January go?
