First Day of Dance

After much anticipation, Sydney finally had her first day of dance yesterday. She was very nervous about going because she wasn't going to know any of the girls in her class and she was going to have a new teacher. But, she went, and she gave it her best shot. Her class is huge this year, and she has a boy in her class. She did really great and I even caught her smiling a couple times. When she was done, I asked her if it was fun and she said "kind of!" So I said "are you excited to come back next week?" and she said "not really!" Overall, the day was a success, and she got to have chicken nuggets for dinner as a special treat. Let's hope next week goes well too!

Vote For Briana!!

That's right! Briana has decided to run for Student Council this year. She went over to her friend, Grace's house over the weekend and they designed their posters, which will be displayed in the third grade classrooms today. Briana said that probably everyone will be voting for them because they have the best posters. With glitter on them. I can't deny it, her poster rocks! The voting happens on Thursday (tomorrow). Wish her luck!

First Day of School

Big news!!!

Something very exciting happened today!! Take a look!

And here's my little fish doing a little something too!

Winner!!

While the girls and I were out shopping last night, we came across a claw machine. I have always told them that claw machines are a huge rip off, and it's not even worth it to try getting a toy out of them. I know I have spent many quarters during my 32 years, and never have I won anything out of a claw machine. So last night while we were at Toys R Us, the girls saw a claw machine and it had Smurfs in it. Sydney about died. "Do you want me to try and get Papa Smurf?" I asked her. "YES!" she said. I thought why not prove my point that these things are just a huge rip off. I'll put my quarters in, and we'll leave empty handed. Guess what actually happened?

Woohoo!! Take that, claw machine!
