The Zoo

I know that everyone was wondering, and we went to the zoo. It was an amazing day. I will have pictures uploaded soon!

Where did we go?

So today we took an excursion into Houston. For those who don't know Houston well, it is a large metropolis and we live on the north side of town in a place called Spring. It is a "suburb". Anyway, we go int town a lot, and love to go to one place in particular. We did bring Cas, so it is "kid friendly." And, there were a TON of people there.

It was pretty enough to be outside, and here is a hint, we needed a wagon for Cas.

A Beautiful Day

Today has been absolutely amazing!! The weather has been wonderful and we have been taking advantage of it. We have spent time playing with sidewalk chalk on and off all day.







What did you do today?

Valentine's Day is right around the corner...

What are you getting your Valentine? I know what I am getting mine, but can't tell you yet...I will share soon however I promise!

The 4 D's...Correction the 3 D's and 1 M

Tuesday mornings have become a tradition in our house. Every Tuesday morning, Mike and Cassidy head out to school, but first stop off at the donut store. I can't remember when they started it, but is seems like it has been forever! Normally, Cassidy is easy to wake up, and totally excited about Tuesdays. But today it was a little different. Mike is home with a horrible cold and stayed home from work today. So the 4 D's(Daddy Daughter Donut Day) turned into the 3 D's and 1 M day(Mommy Daughter Donut Day).



Cassidy and I got up, got dressed, fixed our hair and headed out of the house. We headed to the donut store to do the traditional day.
As we were driving the following conversation occurred...

"Are you ready for some donuts this morning?" I said

"Yes, mam." Cassidy replied
"Are you excited to be going with Mommy as a change instead of Daddy?"

"Sure. I love you Mommy." Cassidy said

"I love you too sweetheart. Are you going to have a good day at school today?" I asked

"Sure, but Mommy you ask a lot of questions in the morning." Cas said

"I do?" I replied.

"Yes, and it's just to early to answer them all. Daddy doesn't ask all these questions."

"O.k. Do you still want to get donuts?" I said

"Yes Mommy, but that is the last question I am answering.

I think I laughed until I got to the office. I feel like I am sure my Mother felt just then. I didn't want to pry, but I guess Cassidy takes after her Daddy. She is a girl with a few words. But watch out because when she does speak, people listen!

I love my little munchkin and I love the 3 D's and 1 M day!

Until next post!

Spring Cleaning in February

Recently, I started cleaning out Cassidy's toys. She seems to have so many, and a lot of days they multiply! Anyway, I wanted to share the before and after pictures...I was pretty impressed with my little one. She said good-bye to about half of her toys.

YAY US! Now hopefully we will not replace all of those with new ones. At least one could hope!

***P.S. - Cas had her swim class Monday night and kicked booty! I am so proud! :-)

A Curly Crown

Every now and then I try to do crafts with Cassidy. Whether it is something small, something to wear, or even just a picture. I think that it helps Cassidy's creativity. Anyway, for Christmas, Cassidy got a magazine subscription to a kid's magazine. In it was "A Curly Crown" project. We had a great time making it. What do you think?

It was super easy and took hardly any time at all. Cassidy still loves it even a month later.

You will need construction paper, scissors, tape, pencil, stickers and crayons

1. Fold a piece of construction paper in half. Cut along the fold line. Tape the pieces together. Fold the strip in half.
2. Unfold the strip. Cut slits on one side of the strip up to the fold line.
3. Roll the cut pieces around the pencil. Decorate your crown with stickers or crayons.
**Adult: Cut and tape the ends together for a perfect fit!

Here are some pictures in case the above made no sense.
