Friday night we went out to dinner with Misty and Paden...a good time was had by all :)
Playing Fairy Princess together in her room on Sunday morning...
Skating lessons Sunday pm...There was free skate after her lesson, and an old friend from E's preschool showed up, which made it extra fun!
A nice weekend. E goes back to school today after vacation. I think she is looking forward to it.
Yesterday was my birthday. We celebrated at my parents' last night. E had spent the day at Maria's (it's school vacation week) while I worked (on my bday, blech...) and they made me a bday cake. Plus my mom bought a chocolate mousse cake from Whole Foods so I got 2 cakes! Lucky me :)
Hanging out at the Apple store...
Going for her favorite...fried rice!
On Sunday, we got more snow...yay... :0
Playing with her new balloon...
Well, it's hard to believe, but she's had 100 days of Kindergarten already. It's funny, when I was growing up, I never heard a thing about the 100th day of school, never even knew when it was. Now it seems like all the schools make a big deal out of it. Anyway, E was excited about it, and had a fun day. Here she is celebrating with the other girls in her class.
Tonight, I took E to a presentation by an organization called Understanding Wildlife. They are a group that goes around educating kids about the Rainforest and actually brings several kinds of birds and other live animals with them. Including a Boa Constrictor. Yes, that would be my daughter below, holding a live Boa Constrictor. And apparently happy to be doing so. As we stood in line for the privilege of getting a chance to hold this lovely creature, E told me I didn't have to go up with her "because remember you're afraid of snakes, anyway, Mommy."
So today Elizabeth spent the day at her Afterschool program at the Y, since school was closed again to clean up after the Blizzard. When I went to pick her up this afternoon, I peeked in the window that looked down into the rock wall room, where I knew her group was today. It didn't take me long to spot her, but wow...she just looks so huge!
It kind of takes my breath away, how fast it's all going...
Saturday night, after it stopped snowing, we went out for a little walk. There was lots (and lots) of snow. Everywhere.
Some shaving cream fun...I remembered using shaving cream back in my days as a preschool teacher and knew E would like it. She did. :)
Today was sunny and gorgeous. Perfect day for sledding and shoveling.
Took me quite a while to dig out my car, but I did it!
E's buddy from school came over for a while this afternoon to go sledding.
Sledding with a neighbor friend
Did I mention there was a lot of snow? Everywhere?
We had a really nice long weekend. E has had a cold, so she was sort of low energy much of the time. We spent a lot of time just hanging out inside, playing games and watching movies. School is closed again tomorrow, but luckily her Afterschool program will be open all day, so she will go there, since I have to work.
Well, the forecasters got it right this time, we woke up this morning to 18 + inches of snow and lots of wind....
It started snowing yesterday afternoon. School and my work had already been cancelled in anticipation of the storm. I took E to the McDonalds play place for a little while before it got bad out. I figured we should get out while we still could, since I wasn't sure how long we'd be cooped up at home. She had fun there and made a quick friend. :)
We spent the rest of the day at home, playing games, drinking coffee (me) and watching Disney World videos on You Tube (her).
This morning we ventured out briefly in the snow...
Yeah...the pool was closed, in case anyone was wondering...
She only lasted about 5 minutes before asking to come inside...my little San Diego girl isn't a big fan of the cold and wind. :0
