Back to School

This week's letter? C.

It's taken Ali and I a bit {a lot!} of determination to get back into our school schedule. A week ago we were playing games, coloring, watching movies, and scrapbooking after dinner. This week it's back to business as usual!

Ali and I both put our homework off until tonight! She had to practice writing her numbers in a plate of salt. She got a kick out of that! {I think it was because she loves salt... she kept licking her fingers in between each number!}

Our Last Weekend

I went to see The Color Purple with my mom, Mike, and my sister. We went to dinner at Stanford's before the show because Casey had been thinking about the doughnuts we had there the last time! It was a great performance! Man, those gals can sing! Sophie was my favorite character... very feisty!

Saturday the girls and I spent the day with my mom and sister scrapbooking. I finished the San Diego trip! {Just in time for another vacation...}


Sunday was a sad day. I tried to get us all to bed early, but we have been staying up so late, that idea didn't work too well. I layed awake for quite awhile! Argh!

Happy New Year!!

I really can't believe that it's 2009 already. I'm in awe at how fast the time goes. Tonight we had the opportunity to just be at home - together. It was mellow and really nice! Dinner was pizza and root beer while watching Horton Hears a Who. Good times! Then it was on to a major Wii bowling tournament. Travis got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas and it got hooked up today... he has yet to put down the controller. {Maybe this was a mistake?} Ali has a knack for the bowling... her highest was 144! {Mine was only 155.} At a little before midnight, the girls were in bed, Trav had moved on to Wii golf, and I was still plugging away on scrapping our San Diego trip. {Trav bought me a little table so I'm set up in the family room watching the amazing Wii determination!} We did stop long enough to turn the TV to Dick Clark, crack open a bottle of Mike's, and remember all that we're so grateful for in our lives.

We wish you all a very happy 2009!
