My Baby Is Growing UP

So, it happened. My 4 year old lost her first tooth. I really didn't expect it to happen so soon. I thought maybe later on this year or early next year. But, no. She had to become a big girl.

Two weeks ago it was barely moving. And now it's gone. Gone forever. Literally, we can't find it! She lost it and then she LOST it. But, somehow the tooth fairy knew and gave her $1.12 courtesy of her sister....

Reunion

So, last night, my three best friends from high school came over. One was in town from Hawaii where she blows glass for a living. The other two live fairly close, but due to life getting in the way, we lost touch.

I cooked a great feast for everyone. I wish I took a picture of it. I only got before and after shots of this yummy herbed italian bread.



I also made:

• Sesame Ginger Seared Tuna
• Insalata Caprese
• Three Bean Salad
• Spinach Feta Salad
• Wasabi Green Beans

We finally got to eat around 9 pm because we talked so much. We had to eat outside on the picnic table because Tim and the girls were sleeping. Everything was great until later, we were attacked by ants that smelled the food!

It was such a great night, and I loved seeing everyone again. Hopefully, I'll get to go to Hawaii to visit Jessica sometime soonish!



I love you girls!!

To Do list....

Today I am going to~

• Organize kitchen storage containers
• Bake massive amounts of bread and treats *yum*
• Clean the bathroom
• Take the recycling off
• Do two loads of laundry to completion-that means folded and even put away!
• Try to squeeze in 30 minutes of yoga
• Pick Maddie up from school
• Go swimming!!! Yay!!!

Now, let's see what actually gets done...

First Day of School...

This morning I dropped Maddie off for school. Though, we've done this before, it's still sad watching my little girl grow up. She is almost nine years old! Is that officially a "tween"? She sure acts like it. Picking out her own clothes, brushing her hair, carrying a purse!! WTF! She's definitely not a little girl anymore.




But, in the meantime, I have this little girl all to myself right now. I bought her a sketch pad this morning and she's already drawn me a beautiful puppy! I'm so glad that I decided to stay home with her this year. She'll be going off to kindergarten next year, so I plan on getting all the Virginia time I can.

Day Tripping

We went down to visit my mom for three days, well, two and a half really. On Monday we decided to take a little jaunt down to Huntington Beach. It was so quiet and peaceful out there. Not too many people, the wildlife is awesome.

Anyway, I am going to try to keep up with this better. I really would love to post a few times a week, but it seems my life is pretty boring!

I've got some plans to paint the girls' rooms. I'll post my progress as soon as I get started!


So, here are a few pictures of the girls prancing in the water. They absolutely loved it!

Until next time!
