DSI'd

The girls got DSI's for Christmas. I found myself watching them one Saturday morning. Not a pretty sight. All of them had their noses in some sort of game (Troy included). Maddie is attempting to hide her DSI in her robe so that she can't be included in those that are being accused. Believe me, it's under there. Aeva has even resigned to playing on Troy's old i-phone as she doesn't own a DSI.

It appears that Aeva's brain is being sucked into the screen. Or she's gone cross-eyed from looking at it for so long. I will need to intervene soon or buy myself a DSI as a distraction. Anyone know when "no screen" week is? We are WAY overdue.

"Double Bagged"

Anybody shop at WinCo? Troy and I decided to give it a try. As we were checking out, there was a sign that said, "No need to double bag, our bags are already twice as strong." Being the obedient souls that we are, we did as we were told.

So, here you have it. Pickles and juice all over the garage floor.

I have two words for you....double bag!

One Stylin Fairy, or maybe there were two?

The Halloween stuff somehow escaped from its box the other day. Out of the mess came a lovely little Fairy that I call, Aeva. She romped around in this little outfit all night long. I couldn't help but snap a few pictures. Then...

I noticed that Maddie had become quite dressed up as well. I tried to snap a picture of the second fairy but it was a very different story. Instead of posing and smiling, there was a squeal followed by a quick get away. Apparently older fairies do not like their picture taken. They are much more aware that others might actually see it. How would that affect their image?

May I be forgiven for following this poor little fairy. She was too cute not to catch!

Fairy Tale Friday - take 2

Gracie is now in 1st grade. Fairy Tale Friday is a very big part of 1st grade. We decided to do the same story that I did with Maddie's class two years ago. Big Pumpkin is one of their favorite stories and a fun one for the kids to act out. All you need are a few costumes and, Poof... Big Pumpkin has come alive!

Our little story went quite well other than our "pumpkin" (also the only prop involved in the ENTIRE story) has a touch of ADHD. Kind of hard to center a story around a pumpkin that moves around incessantly. What to do? Continue on and hope for the end, right?

Good stuff.
