We had an exciting day this week with the first day of Museum school for this year. Nadia was going for her 3rd and final year and Amelie is going for her first time. The first day was a meet the teacher and orientation day. I looked around with Amelie and took a photo of her and Buddy the guinea pig and she was ready for me to hit the road so she could explore.

Amelie is going to be a raccoon this year and she was having so much fun at pick up time that she didn’t want to leave. The racoons will study one animal a week for the school year. I asked her about Buddy when we got home and she said, “He has germs. My teacher said.”

Nadia is going to be an owl this year and for the first day they had an opossum in the room. She said her teacher told the class it was from the skunk family and the kids all said, “Ewwwww stinky!” The owls will be learning about the various environments of the world.

Thankful Thursday

  • I am thankful that I will be training new mentors this weekend for KIDS HOPE.
  • For Amelie being mostly potty trained.
  • For the documentaries about 9/11 that played this week. May we never forget.
  • For the wonderful help that Trainer Tim was for our weight loss and strength training. We are grateful for him and glad we will still see him around the gym even though he is not our trainer any more.
  • For the cooler weather.
  • For ladies Bible study starting again this week.
  • For Museum School starting again and how excited the girls are about it.

It’s been a couple of months, but the Chick fil a location at our mall had a Princess Night and we took the girls out and invited Nadia’s buddy Jurnee and her mom to join us. All the children dressed as princesses got a free meal and then they invited everyone down to the center court for all the activities. They had crafts, face painting, photos with Prince Charming and more. The girls love it and we have the photos to prove it. Even Miss “I only like Star Wars and Batman” had a great time! She told me that for free Chick Fil a she would dress like a princess. She made this coupon deal hunter mom proud.

Amelie thought face painting was much more exciting than people in costumes.
