Red Ribbon Week

So this week is Red Ribbon Week, School Spirit Week and Parent/Teacher Conferences which means they only have half day. Because of the evacuation of the fires, all the events were scheduled into one week. Kinda hectic, but fun too.

Monday - "Follow Your Dreams...Don't Do Drugs!" - Wear PJ's to School

Tuesday - "Use Your Head & Be Too Bright to DO Drugs!" - Crazy Hair Day or Wear Bright Colored Clothes

Aren't banana's phones at your house...LOL?!

Wednesday - "Stay in the Game...Be Drug Free!" - Wear Your Favorite Team's Jersey or Colors to School

I didn't get a pic of the girls this day, but they wore my Charger beanies to school!

Thursday - "Drugs and I don't Mix!" - Wear Mismatched Clothes to School

Harley


Chloe

Friday - "Be Drug Free at RE!" - Wear RED to School and Be a Part of the Human "Just Say No" Picture

We always participate. I am trying to get the girls to have some school spirit. I think our class in High School was the least school spirited. I would like my girls to be the President of their class and all that. Valedictorian (Or at least be able to spell it! LOL) I have high hopes. As should we all for our kids!

We live one block from the school...so while we are walking to school Harley and Chloe have so many doubts that maybe, just maybe, they are going to be the only ones participating and get super embarrassed. So far that hasn't happened. Today I didn't help by asking them, "Are you sure today is Crazy Hair day and not just funny hat day?"

Yesterday was Harley's Parent/Teacher Conference. The teacher said she is doing extremely well, which of course made me so proud! She said Harley likes to take initiative and if the teacher makes a mistake, she always corrects her. She does that at home too...I take it as being sarcastic (I don't like my mistakes pointed out!) LOL.

Thanks-giving

I am so thankful for so many things.

My beautiful daughters that are reading over my shoulder as I write this. They are so funny. They are sounding out the words and cracking me up. I am also thankful that they let me wiggle their loose teeth! Just pull it out already!

I am thankful for my husband and his support with my stepson. We have had a really rough couple of weeks, but I feel loved and appreciated.

I am thankful for my stepson. He makes me a stronger person.

I am thankful for my friends that listen to me whine! Without them I probably couldn't handle all the pressure.

I am thankful for my understanding family. They understand that I am only one person and can't attend every social event they all plan separately.

What are you thankful for this year?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Infamous Name

We named the puppy! It only took 4 days to name her and we finally agreed....drum roll please...

PRINCESS!

Doesn't she look like a princess....LOL. She is so spoiled already and seriously, that is the only name she will answer to. Thanks for all the name advice...

The new blog

I was going through my friend Ang's blogs today, trying to catch up, and wanted everyone to know exactly what I am doing too!

First off, I like to talk. Alot. I had a blog before but just had so much to say I had to quit it. It was taking up too much time from work. So here I am again. I quit that job a year and a half ago and now I realize a stay at home job has its perks.

Anyway, we got a new puppy today and it is stinkin adorable. We don't have a name yet because my husband and I can't agree. Apparently, to him, this is a mute point since the dog belongs to him. In other words, his dog, his choice on names. I don't like that. Eventually, the dog will be named what I want. I want Hershey. Doesn't she look like a little Hershey squirt?
