Bring It On, Jillian

Next week I'm attending a meeting at work, with Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper, the trainers from The Biggest Loser. So in honor of my upcoming meeting I picked up some study material. Tonight it's me vs. this DVD.

100 Days of First Grade

Monday is the 100th day of school for T. Well technically not school, she has been going to 'school' for a few years now. Monday though is the 100th day of 1st grade. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was dropping her off on Day 1 and she and I handled it like a pro and Day 2 she was still a pro and I bawled like a baby...since it became real that my baby was truly growing up.

What a great year T has had already...She started at a brand new school and has already made a ton of new friends. She is ahead of the class yet still learning a lot. She is the teachers right hand, little helper, and even has mastered the task of walking the bad kids down to detention. She gets along great with the girls and the boys (maybe a little to good, hence the multiple boyfriends any given day). She was awarded student of the month. And she even got to participate in the coveted money jump for having excellent citizenship.

All this in just 100 days. I'm so proud of my, not so little anymore but she'll always be my baby, Princess.

**Picture taken today while working on her 100 day project. She was supposed to collect one hundred of something and design a way to display it. We took a trip to Michael's and on her own she decided she would paint a letter T pink and decorate it with 100 stars. Her explanation was because she wants to be an astronaut and they love stars, her name starts with T, and her favorite color is pink. Not bad to put all that together into one project that is reflective of her and going to turn out so cute. Told ya she is one smart cookie, but of course I'm her mom so you expected me to say that.

Another Tooth Gone

T lost a tooth tonight!!! I guess the tooth fairy will be making another stop by The B House tonight, just two weeks after the last one.

Long day

Started my day early and had a dinner meeting today so didn't get to spend my evening with the kids. :-( By the time I got home this is what I saw, C sleeping soundly in his bed.



When I peeked into T's room and gave her a kiss, she woke up and asked me "Do you recognize me?" and fell right back to sleep. Ok, kid really it was one night, way to make mommy feel bad.

Off to bed now.

Bad Blogger Award

I'm so excited, or maybe I shouldn't be? But I just won a Blog award. No fancy buttons and no prizes but still I won! Um, and I should probably mention I nominated myself and also just made this award up because I'm. A. Bad. Blogger.
Seriously, something has to change. I love going back and reading through my blog and am bummed I've missed the last, whose even counting, many many months and many many memories. I've thought for the last few days how to get back in the blogging groove and it hit me...
My cousin, Robin, has started taking a picture a day on Facebook. Simple enough I can take one picture a day and put straight on my blog (thanks to the modern advancements of technology I could do this in less than a minute). And since a picture is technically worth a 1,000 words I only have to do pictures and not even bother with words....but my hope is to build from there and get back into the good old blog full swing, and who knows maybe I'll win an award or two?!?

So there we have it. Stay tuned and see how this one plays out.
