Midget's prince

Well as some of you have likely heard abot midget's friend Mushari. She met him at school in Kuwait. He was the cutest little guy ever. He was very shy around everyone but her. They would walk around holding hands, and she even said he kissed her once. His mom is actually american, from around pennsylvania or somewhere near there. She says he is a prince and they will get married and she will be a princess. Lots of those in kuwait, everyone is royalty somehow. I am exagerating a bit...

But since a real prince is here in the u.s., i am thinking. Prince Harry has gorgeous red hair. Do you think he is too old for our 6 yr old?? He is so cute :) And he scores bonus points for the fact he would make her a princess. Even more perfect, they use my china...it is fate don't you think?

awesome teacher

This teacher is awesome!! She's a 4th grade teacher in Louisiana who told her students if they all passed the state exam for reading she would eat fried worms. Apparently they were reading the book in her class. They all passed it, and she did it!! She ate 30 fried worms!!!
I don't know about you, but i think that is so great! I bet you everyone of those kids will remember her for the rest of their lives. That is dedication to your job and your students. I hope that the parents chipped in for some pepto bismol for her. :)

School's almost out!!

Only 7 more school days to go!! Yeah!! Then it's the summer, swimming, riding bikes, being lazy....so wonderful. I love the summer, if only it wasn't so humid outside. Oh well, i guess that's part of Texas.

Taks is done, the monkey got a 98, 97, anda 92. We haven't gotten the letter yet, but the teachers showed them. So he is commended on all the subjects he took. That's a relief, that stress the kids out so much they begin to doubt how well they did. I know he was relieved to be done with it, and that he did well. We're so proud of him.

Here's a picture of him in his new hat his super-cool uncle got him from Chicago. He wanted the one with the bear after he saw it somewhere. When we flew through chicago i told him we would get one, but it was football season so there weren't any out. Turns out you can only get them in chicago, as it's an old design? So my brother got him one. Truth be told i think the only reason he likes the cubs id because of him. That's okay though, the cubs are cool in my book too :)

Recital 2009

We survived!! Midget had so much fun, and she did great. She had tons of fun backstage playing games, putitng on make-up and glitter, eating snacks. What's not to love? As she said "today is all about me". So the monkey endured, and was quite supportive. His friends sister takes dance there also, so he had someone to sit by. Grandma came, and that made her very happy. She loves for everyone to come and watch her dance :) She loves to get the flowers in the end, and grandma always gives her roses. Midget put in a request this year for one pink rose from her. Monkey picked out a dozen pink roses, and they were beautiful. So the whole thinkg was a success!!

5 1/2 hours

That was a long 5 1/2 hours for a dress rehearsal! The girls all had so much fun though. They get to play with their friends, dress up and put on make-up, what's not to love? They all looked so adorable too. There is a smaller class of 4 yr olds, who are poodles. They were so cute, big balls of white fluffy tu-tu's with tails and ears. So cute!!

The midget also got her first trophy!! She is so proud and excited. Monkey has alot of them, so this was a big thrill for her. He went to grandma's house for the day, and got to eat shrimp:)

end of the year

We just need to survive this month...then the summer. London...aahhh. The midget keeps telling her dad everytime she gets a chance "see you in london". Sounds like a movie. The monkey is looking forwqard to his birthday at legoland, who wouldn't? Although, i, i mean the midget, is pushing to ride the dumbo ride at eurodisney. I, i mean she, has dreamed about since i was a kid, i mean she :)

But, back to the reality of May. I feel like i should just hold my wallet open this month, All the teacher gifts, pictures, costumes, glasses. $400 dollars for glasses for a 6 yr old, who will likely lose them? seriously?

Her recital is Sunday. This means saturday is the dress rehearsal. i mean saturday ALL day. We signed up to bring crafts, another 40 bucks gone. She loves it though, and that is what matters. The monkey is excited ashis friend's sister is in it, so he has someone to hang with.

Here are some pics of her in her ballet costume, the tap. Well you just have to wait to see it, to believe it :)

Went to Orange...

Here are some of the pictures of the wedding reception we went to. It was a beautiful place, the kids had alot of fun running around and meeting everyone. Some of the family had not seen them since they were babies.
