I'm SO proud...

Last night Sarah had a musical performance at school. The first and second graders sang a few spanish songs they've been learning. Sarah was extremely excited about the whole thing. She's usually a big 'ol tomboy, but for this she wanted new shoes and a new dress. Done.

She got home from school yesterday barely able to keep still. She wanted to get her dress on immediately, but I convinced her to at least wait until she ate dinner so that she wouldn't get any food on it. Once she was done eating, she put her dress, tights and shoes on. We then painted her nails. Pink polish, of course. And then she asked me something I never thought she'd ever ask. "Mom, can you curl my hair, please?" Wow. Heck yeah I'll curl your hair. We got the curling irons out and dolled her all up. She couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror.

Here she is all dressed up:

This morning we had "Muffins With Mom" at their school. We had muffins, donuts, juice and coffee. I had a really good time hanging out with my girls. They enjoy dragging me around showing me all the details of their school.

Ok...I think I'm out of inane drivel for today. Must go pack a bit more. Later!

'Possum

This little guy was under my car this morning. The girls were beside themselves! They've never seen a live opossum before. Now, if I can get him to get out from under there before I have to leave...

Nature Walk

I got to enjoy a beautiful spring day on Monday and went along a nature trail close to home.




Caught a glimpse of these little guys, then realized they were all over the tree.


Here's the egg sac they came out of:
