50th day of school - Dress 50s style

Another fun week has concluded.  Anna came to visit, a day trip to Austin, an Art reception for Mia (I'll upload pictures later - they are on Ben's phone) and finally Ben heading overseas for a business trip.  

Life is never dull that's for sure!

A week full of green stars, Midway Day and Purple show and tell!!!

My little bit earned a green star every day this week!!!  We are so very proud of her!

When Ben left for San Diego Mia asked him to bring her back a purple seal - he brought home the closest thing he could find - a dolphin in a purple sweatshirt.  :D  Of course she loves it and couldn't wait to take it to show and tell - lucky for her this week was the color purple!

So Delicious Ice Cream

Orange Show and Tell!

**********************************************

Mia and I finally found some ice cream in town that she can eat!!!  Our favorite grocery store carries coconut  milk yogurt but not the ice cream so we decided to check Wal-Mart and they had it!  

Definitely made for one happy little girl!!!

**********************************************

Ben is back from San Diego.  He sent us some lovely pics and brought Mia back some sea shells.  His trip went great up until he missed his flight out of Dallas.  That airport is a monster to get thru.  

**********************************************

I got a TON of sewing done for Mia while he was away.  The fall dress with the brown bodice is my absolute favorite.  She's also covered for all the color specific days at school for this month except for one.  

Show and Tell, Western Day and a Visit From Ha-Ha

Show and Tell - Blue!

Today was Show and Tell for Blue week. Mia took her blue rock egg that she got during one of our mini exploration trips between here and Austin.  :)

Show and Tell - Yellow

Week two of school is complete, but next week will actually be the first full week of school what with starting on a Tuesday and then the Labor Day holiday.  Mia did great this week and definitely enjoyed her first show and tell.  They were supposed to take something yellow so she chose one of her favorite Dr. Seuss books which just so happened to have a yellow cover.  

PTA and Room Parent is definitely picking up for me and I'm loving it.  I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.  I've already met some fun people and of course love all the emailing, planning and organizing involved.

Happy Weekend!!!!

A green star on yellow day...

Each Tuesday the Kindergartners are encouraged to wear a specific color (i.e. the color of the week) and this week it was yellow.  Just so happened that one of the pairs of pants I made over the summer incorporated a lot of yellow and I had found an adorable yellow shirt to match (that in and of itself was quite a find as I have trouble finding feminine shirts that are primary colors unless they have a character of some sort on them - but that's a soap box for another time).

When Mia got in the car this afternoon she said "Momma! I worked really hard today and I didn't get in trouble one TIME!" I congratulated her and we talked more about her day as we headed off to run errands.  When we got to our first stop she insisted that I look in her folder before we went in.  I opened it and SHE HAD A GREEN STAR!!! That is the highest mark a child can get for a day and stands for exemplary behavior.  We, of course, had to go to our favorite frozen yogurt place (they carry a dairy free option) and celebrate.

This week also starts show and tell.  Whatever you bring for show and tell is supposed to be the color of the week.  I can't wait to see what Mia picks each week.

Fundraising has started as has parent brought snacks and monthly PTA meetings.   It is all a big adjustment but over all I think she is handling it really well.  She is so excited about school and has even started waking up on her own at the right time already (we'll see if that lasts tho).  :D

I've been sewing up a storm for my shop which is going to be featured on a pretty well known blog this month so I'm hoping to get a good amount of new stuff listed before then.

Life is good.
