Another Throwback

This was taken in October 2007. My dad and I was on the way to my school from an oral surgeon consultation to have my wisdom teeth removed!

Prep. Curriculum: Week 25

The theme this week was rabbits. Ariana hasn't seen one up close before, so I think a trip to the flea market is in order. I used to have two rabbits growing up and their names were Woody and Jessie! I named them after Toy Story. Woody was my favorite and he was gray. Jessie was white and mean as hell. But anyways, she did like the theme.

Monday:

Never seen a bunny this colorful

Tuesday:
The shape she learned about was a parallelogram. I thought I decided not to do this shape after Sammy had a hard time with it. But, we did it anyways and she had a hard time pronouncing it.

Wednesday:
She did the letter Y today and it was like being asked the question "why?" She kept saying it over and over.

Thursday:
We worked more on the letter Y and we worked on the number 25. It's hard putting 25 stickers on one piece of paper. I'll have to remember to write the number smaller for Adalyn!

Friday:
We had a quick lesson. We only read and did her workbook. We didn't listen to her music as the computer wanted to take it's sweet time updating.

Thanks Bobby: Best Braves Coach EVER!!!

Bobby Cox was by far the BEST manager that the Atlanta Braves had. I always looked forward to him getting ejected from games and every time he did, he always got a standing ovation from fans.

Samantha's Ears Are Pierced

Cayce had to work this morning, but while we were out yesterday morning, we decided to get her ears pierced today! So when he got home, we got the kids ready and piled into the car. We went to the Prince of Orange Mall in Orangburg and we went to RadioShack first to return his Bluetooth, only to get another pair for me.

We then went to Claire's and got Samantha prepared and everything filled out and paid for, to get her ears pierced. It was exhausting, and she was great about the whole thing. She didn't cry or scream. I didn't get any pictures while it was going on because I was in charge of Ariana and Adalyn and I had to go sit them down on a bench. She got diamond studs. Diamond is her birthstone, and before she got her ears pierced, I told her once she gets them done, she will be begging for more. The first thing she said to me when she was done was that she wanted her second holes done ASAP!!!! I laughed because I said the exact same thing to my mom when I got mine done at the exact same place.

After, we got done with that, Cayce took me to Bath and Body Works and spoiled me. It was an early mother's day present. I ended up getting Country Chic body wash, lotion, and perfume. I love that scent. The guy at the register struck up a conversation with me after Cayce commented on his pink apron that he was wearing and he let us know that he was a former army ranger and he made a lot of money in his position and he kept talking to me and ignoring Cayce. I told him when we got to the car that the army guy was going to kick his ass for picking on his pink apron....lol. It was a good day.

Great Family Morning

This morning was fantastic. Cayce had to go pay a bill, so we went to Wal-Mart and got some things. I ended up getting two new shirts and a pair of orange sunglasses. We ran into an old friend that used to work at the old Movie Gallery in Swansea, and we also ran into my brother and sister in law. Cayce treated us to subway for brunch.

I had to get it. It was only $3.00

When we left Wal-Mart, Cayce had to look for a radioshack so he could return his broken Bluetooth. Needless to say, we couldn't find one, so we ended up going into Best Buy and he bought the new Motorola Buds and he got me a new pair of lime green Skullcandy ear buds. I LOVE THEM!!!

Best Buy parking lot

I love my girls. It was chilly this morning, so that's we had long sleeves.

my new ear buds.

When we left Best Buy, we walked down to Target. I haven't been to Target in a long time, so it was fun browsing, and watching the girls try to push the big red balls outside.

When we got inside the store, Cayce treated me to Starbucks and he also bought a new office chair. It feels so amazing and my back no longer hurts. When we got home, he had to go straight to work, but he put my chair together before he left and I'm glad he did. Before I put the girls down for naps, we had a little photo session with my new sunglasses.

I can't wait till Adalyn is able to join in on these fun photo times.

Kindergarten Prep. Work: Week 2

We are slowly working on this. I'm deciding to giver her a day and a half on each lesson and that is working out better than a lesson a day. She is learning and remembering the words better, and that's all that matters. She is starting to spell out some of the words too and I couldn't be more proud.

I will be working on her schedule for the next 8 weeks. I'm not going to spend all summer on this because I have to get her Kindergarten work ready and I have to plan everything. I am thinking about getting her summer reading started around the end of the month.

May GO AWAY!

Well I had this great post planned about what I was going to do this month and how excited I was about it. Over the past few days, that excitement has been going away at a very rapid pace. Every blog I read or every time I get on facebook or tumblr, I see a gif of Justin Timberlake and the words it's gonna be may.

I HATE IT. It's stupid. Now I just want to fly through May and it be June already!!

So, I still have a lot of things planned but I will not be mentioning them today.

Rant over!
