Saturdays

We had a busy day yesterday! I took Monkey to the skatepark as a reward for his super-awesome report card. He had so much fun. Those skateboarder kids are so nice. They all help each other out, and teach each other tricks. The shop there even had the shoes he's been dying for. Blue Lakai, not sure if I spelled it right or not. The boy is the Imelda Marcos of shoes. He's got more than I do now. It must be a skatebarder thing, he wants all these colorful shoes, and even looks online. A little strange, but all the others were just like him there. So i'm feeling a little better about it. I was a little concerned... :) We found out they are also having a skate camp this summer, so I think if he keeps up the good work we will sign him up.
Midget wanted to see a movie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. She has been reading the books. The consensus was, not a good movie. The kids said all kinds of negative things, and it just didn't translate well to a movie. I felt bad for her, she was so looking forward to it. She ended up with a good day though, her daddy sent her flowers. She likes that :)
We have the last leg of the TAKS next week. Then there will only be 4 weeks left i believe. We got her recital costume last week. It is so beautiful, and she looks amazing in it. A little too grown up, I wasn't ready for that. Sometimes i forget how old she is, and think she is still my little baby girl. But she is almost 8. WWAAHHH.....
It was so sad the other day the weather was all wacky and I had a terrible headache. So i broke out the stand by meal of frozen pizza. Personally, i love red baron frozen pizza. The kids, not so much. I convinced midget it was so much better with green olives. So she wanted to help cut them. That made it s fabulous meal all of the sudden. All beacuase she cut the olives. So i let her use a real knife, as long as i could help her hold it. She thought she was a gourmet chef. Yelling at her brother to come watch, and could i please take a picture to put on here. So cute... so here is her pic of her cutting the olives... Now i need to go hide all the knives before she loses a finger trying to "help" without my knowwing.
