All six of them. In various position of flight. No one complained of not being able to walk anymore, so I guess it was a massive success.

Our Egyptian Queen
This was a project Grace completely embraced. They had to pick a historical figure, and Grace made Cleopatra her own. Mom hand-crafted the smock fit for a queen. (Everyone said what an awesome costume she had. I totally agree.)
She had to write a speech, create a website, design a poster, and draw a picture of their person.
As you can see from the picture, she drew quite a crowd. Little kids swarmed her desk. She was very proud. I was very proud of her :)

10 on 2sday
10. Jennie says, "I can't wait for summer so I can wear my leotard outside."
9. Josie says, "Yeah, and I will wear my shorts and t-shirt. And flop flops."
8. I bought them new flop flops today at Target. Let's make this a family effort. You see flops flops, you should buy them. Bonus points if you can find orange.
7. I've told you all this, but I'll write it down for prosperity . . . Josie and Jennie's report card came Friday, and they have met all the requirements for the end of kindergarten. Now I know what "smart as a whip" means.
6. Mark and Missy's new pickup is sweet. The kids even got to ride in it. I wonder if Mags ever will? Or Brooke? You should keep her out.
5. Today is Fat Tuesday. I'm eating Starburst Jellybeans in celebration. Like shit loads of them. And I'm considering giving up cursing for Lent so I'm trying to get it all out of my system today, goddamnit.
4. Grace gave her Cleopatra presentation at school today. I'm anxious to hear how it went. Going to her school on Thursday to her Walk of Fame. I'm doing her makeup for the rowdy event. We've been practicing.
3. I'm so damn tired of wearing tights and boots. I poured over pictures of sandals on DSW's website. I know I'm getting old, because when I see they have 4 inch heels, I brush over them. I must be getting practical, sticking with 3 1/2 inchers.
2. There is a story about Faith that I can't write. It has to do with hand sanitizer. You'll need to book a private conversation to hear it.
1. Jennie was reading her chapter book this morning before school. It's called the "Dictionary of the Bible." This is going to thrust her into the first grade.

10 on 2sday
10. This is really happening. It's Tuesday and everything.
9. I'm getting excited for Joni's wedding. Josie and Jennie tried on their dresses Sunday, and they just look so cute. It will be here before we know it.
8. Can you believe the one year anniversary of Jessie's sham wedding is almost upon us? Just seems like yesterday when we couldn't tell anyone about their nuptials. I'm telling their children. As soon as their born . . .
7. . . . if they have any. Cause I'm not convinced Jessica even likes people under 21.
6. Mom found a "3 Dog Night" cd at Walmart for like $5. She was pretty excited. I don't know why. She's been to Spain.
5. Eddie wore his "Trust me I'm a Dr." shirt on Saturday. Hahahaha. That's classic.
4. And so was supper on Saturday night. Fish, potatoes, squash, fried bread . . . it was amazing. Must buy Talpia at Costco.
3. I'm nervous about this cast of Dancing with the Stars. Real nervous.
2. Let's just say Cleopatra is coming alive. You should have seen Eddie headbanging in the wig.
1. My favorite part of the entire weekend was Jennie singing "I hear horses all the time . . " She loves that country song "I Hear Voices" but she truly thinks it says horses. Don't try to tell her different. She breaks out into song at random times. It's a riot.

"I hear horses all the time . . ."
What follows are a lot of puzzle putting together pictures . . . I know. But I loved them all. I laugh when I look at each one. The intensity, the competition . . . the natural skill.
Jennie is a puzzle addict. She loves them. But more importantly, she's wicked good at putting them together. She can pick up a piece and just "sees" where it goes. Even Jess was impressed.
Faith asked for the fox puzzle, and I told her she had to ask Grandma if she thought Faith could do it . . . well of course Grandma thought Faith could do it. It took a whole team a good two hours :)
The duo who likes to think they somehow "won" a puzzle putting together challenge.
It's not easy to get action shots during puzzle assembly, but I think I nailed it. Obviously Jess and Faith are onto something here.
"I wish Grandma would come see us, " says Joni.
And like a dream, Grandma enters. "What is going on here?" she says, not able to get her coat off fast enough.
Massive success. Good job, team.
Heck yeah, Faith can do this.

Amazing Gracie
- Feb. 27, 2011 -
Our little Gracie served Mass for the first time Sunday. There was even a baptism. She did such a great job. Faith and Josie took up gifts with Mom and Dad. Well, Faith carried the offerings . . . Jo Jo pushed her from behind up the isle. You'll have that.
