2-7 thru 2-13-2011

*I found Rachel and Austin's backpacks and found we had not done their homework packets for 3 weeks. (Parent of the year award to be issued later this year)After working on it with Rachel for 45 minutes she says, "Ow, my head. There's just so much math in my head it's starting to hurt."

*We have started laying out Rachel's clothes for the week on Sunday. We make sure everything is washed and put away, and then we can choose the outfits and shoes. I let her do it this week, and when I came in to look at what she had done, this is what I saw:

She had made labels for each day of the week! And the best part is that she did all the letters by herself, no help from anyone! I am so glad she is learning her letters,... and practicing her organization skills at such an early age! :)

January 31 thru February 6

* Guava coconut cake from Pounders. YUM.
* New haircut (which I LOVE) includes bangs and a darker color.
* I called 911 for the first time (on purpose, at least). I drove up to Fresh Market (that's Albertson's for everyone), and saw smoke coming from a car hood. Parked and waited for a minute until I saw flames coming from the wheel well. Reported to 911. Fire department arrived and put out the fire. I felt like a responsible citizen.
* Filled out a "Juror Qualifying Form". Yipee.
* Discussing with Austin going to Utah Gymnastics meet. Told him we need to wear pink for Breast Cancer awareness. He asked if we could buy an "I (Heart) boobies" bracelet. Who knew it started so young?
