3rd Post: Moms' League Gala 2012

Friday night mommy headed to her Moms' League Gala... this was the first year that she has gone solo (she was working check out for the silent auction and decided daddy probably wouldn't have fun hanging out with all the crazy women), but she says she had a great time with her friends...

She got to have dinner with our playgroup friends...

Katie (Hudson & Harper's mom) was the chair this year and she did a fabulous job!

Mom's friend Amanda had almost the exact same dress and they both had fun hairbands... picture worthy of course!

She got to watch a little of the bidding and dancing before heading to work at the check out table...

Thanks Jenny for introducing mommy to Mardi Gras punch... now if she can only figure out the recipe!

2nd Post: School & Aquarium

On Thursday we had no plans, so we decided to spend the day at Grapevine Mills Mall...


We explored the aquarium and I enjoyed it more this time than ever before... the pictures are HORRIBLE though because they don't allow flash photography...









I was finally brave enough to take pictures in the tunnel...


They have a beautiful new sea turtle!



Nemo and all his friends are in the same tank...

Love Nemo!

I love watching the tanks... especially when I figured out I could watch them being fed...






We headed back to the stingrays and I spent a long time exploring the tank...

There is an enormous eel who lives in here... they say he only comes out once a day, does one trip around the tank and then goes back in... he's really awesome!

Carousel ride!

Train ride...

All by myself... it was a fun day at the mall!

Friday I headed to my long day at school...

Maggie really misses me when I'm gone!


But I love my long day!

Valentine's Week 2012

Valentine's Day week was finally here!  Monday was COLD!

So I got to wear my super cute hat to school...



Tuesday was Valentine's Day and ballet day...

Exactly how we spent Valentine's Day last year!

We exchanged Valentine's at class and then mom & I headed to the library...


After daddy got home it was time to open all my Valentine presents...

including lots of treats from Nana and Pop Pop (thank you!)... my favorite was the peanuts, which I turned into SNOW!


Mom was in charge of my Valentine party at school, here is everything that goes into it... cookies, strawberry fudge, pretzel dots, games & goodie bags...

and she made my dress!



mom made my Valentine cards too...
 

Party time! 


Findlay's mom cut our strawberries into hearts. :)

Kade's mom made these amazing ice cream cone cake pops!







Finally it was time for arts and crafts...

and big kid bingo!



Finally it was time to exchange Valentine cards...

Thank you mommy for all your hard work, it was a super fun party!
