First Dance

The dust from the Covid-19 pandemic is finally settling a bit.  Life is slowly returning to normal in many ways.  The schools are getting back to having normal functions again, like dances.  Evangeline's Jr. High dance was a western theme.  We happened to have the most perfect dress.  Colleen made this dress for her a few years back and by golly, it still fits!  I have a million pictures of me helping Evangeline get ready.  I started to delete some of them, but this was such a fun and special moment, I really can't bring myself to delete too many of them.  I put a little make up on her and she felt so grown up.  She is such a natural beauty, she needs no make up at all, but it made the night feel even more special for her. 

We are a couple of silly girls who have so much fun together....

We met up with Alex in the parking lot so the girls could walk in together. 

When I went to pick her up she was on Cloud 9.  She told me all about everything!  All the snacks, the punch, the music.  She had the best time.  She was mostly an observer.  She said she swayed to a few songs, but mostly stood by the snacks and took it all in.  Her admirer, Andre Burns, asked if they could get their picture together at the photo booth, but mostly she an Alex had a good time watching everything.  She had lots of fun and I was so overjoyed to hear all about it.  Alex invited her to spend the night after the dance.  She was exhausted the next day!

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
