Summer Reading Program

 Me: let’s go to the library today to sign up for the summer reading program 

Maggie: let’s go right now!!

Philomena: you can make me get off the tv but you can’t make me read. Not happening.

Parenting Maggie 😆

Maggie naked: why won't you answer my question?!?

Maggie from in shower: this is unethical that you won't talk to me until I take a shower. 

Maggie again: and no I don't know what ethical means. 

Auction Basket

Philomena spent her own money to put together a basket for the church auction.  She bought some items to do with the children and included a certificate for 6 free hours of babysitting.  The family that bought the item during the silent auction didn't need the babysitting but their family enjoyed the activities.

 

Small Ensemble Contest - Philomena Percussion Group

Maggie and I went to watch Philomena's percussion group play at the small ensemble contest.  They scored a 2.  It was great to listen to; we both enjoyed it!  After we went to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate even though Philomena didn't feel it went the best.  I reminded her that judges don't just look for mistakes but for how you handle your mistakes and keep going.  I didn't notice any mistakes so I told her they each covered well and that no one is perfect.  We really are our own worst critics.

 

Funnel Cakes

I came home from a teacher training to find that Maggie was making a funnel cake all by herself. I looked at the pan and asked Maggie what in the world she was doing.  She had dumped the entire bowl of batter in the pan all at once.  The next day we had off from school due to the cold weather.  I then made funnel cakes correctly and she watched me.  She said it tasted great the way I made them!

 

Villian's Puzzle

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day, I gave Maggie a Villian's puzzle and Philomena urn necklaces for the 2 guinea pigs that have passed away.  Then I made our heart pizza at home like I do every year.

 

Show Choir Tech

Philomena enjoys doing show choir tech.  This is her second year doing this.  It's a great way for her to be involved but not up front where she gets nervous.  Mr. McCauley says that she is a huge asset to their show choir and she's the lead tech person that he counts on this year.

 

Air Fryer

The good part of grocery orders is that you don't make impulsive purchases.  I went to the store and came out with this air fryer that was on clearance.  Maggie is big fan of homemade french fries made by cutting up a potato and only making enough for yourself!  I'm glad that I found it that day in the store!

 

Long Weekend

Maggie decided to rearrange her bedroom which meant putting everything in the hallway.  Then she said that she needed my help and "you just need to suck it in and squeeze through here."  I made it in and her room was put back together - haha

I decluttered and took a picture to prove that the half wall had NOTHING on top of it!

Philomena volunteered with St. Mark's at the Food Bank.

 

Almond Bark Pretzels & Moana 2

I asked Maggie to put the almond bark pretzels into a container and she put them into 9 because she was trying to sort them by color!  She and I also went to Moana 2 in the theater.  Philomena didn't want to go.

 

Co-worker Outing

Christina, me, Cristi, Zeneya, and Alicia makes up the preschool team this year.

This was my hot cocoa when we went out for dinner together.
