CAREER DAY!!

(Her Kindergarten career choice is to be a Gym Teacher due to her love of Mrs. O'Leary at school.)

This week concluded the first week of Mia being able to earn money on her own.  We made her a checklist that included her daily chores (not paid) along with a list of paid chores that she has the choice to do *if* she has completed her daily chores.  She earned $3.50 this week and is excited to be saving up for a Snow White ballerina Barbie.  

Mia is starting to master the scooter and is very happy about it!

The weather in Texas has been pretty crazy - it seems like we have 2 days of cold temperatures (highs of 40) and then 5 days of highs in the 60s/70s.  That definitely makes weathering the winter in 900 sq ft much easier and you can be assured that we are making the most of every minute of it!  :D

Just an ordinary day

again...
I've decided when there isn't something specific to post about I'll just call the post "just another ordinary day" ... I still want to post so I keep up the habit.

Today was essentially just another day... add in some whining, crying and tantrums to make it interesting. Mia had a bit of a rough day but she seems back on track tonight.
We played games, practiced t-ball and took a couple walks.  We also made plans to go to Dallas to see a very sweet lady this week.  We are super excited to see some of the sights up there.  For being in the middle of nowhere Waco is perfectly positioned close to big cities - Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth are all within a 2 hour drive.  Hopefully Little Miss will wake up in a better mood tomorrow and the day won't be so trying.
