Fruit Bowl

At our Christgiving on Thursday Alea recievd a real artist pad of paper, real watercolors, and real paintbrushes from her Uncle Toby. Today she decided to paint with them. She sat down at the table with her supplies and silently thought about what she wanted to paint. After a few seconds she announced she was going to paint a fruit bowl. Check out her awesome art below! I am so proud of my young artist. (I'm sure you can tell but the fruit bowl contains an apple, pear, banana, and grapes.)

Thanksmas or Christgiving

Today we had Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family (either Christgiving or Thanksmas). Alea got some cute jammies and some great art supplies. My nephew Reed is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. He is a very curious little boy. He is very cute. Check out the pics posted below.

ponytail

When Alea got home from school today she told me she probably shouldn't wear her hair in a ponytail any more. I asked why. She said that her ponytail makes Wyatt like her. She said that he pulls on her ponytail and gives her "lovey-eyes" when she wears a ponytail.

Clean House

Today was my first no-school day for Thanksgiving break. Alea still has school Monday and Tuesday. I managed to clean house (ALL DAY) and even wrap ALL of our Christmas presents. I am really feeling on the ball. Now back to the homework that is haunting me.

Daisies

We had another great Daisy (Girl Scout) meeting tonight. Alea seems to really love it.

Crazy Frog

Davin called in to "Kid's Place Live" a kids radio station on Sirus Satellete Radio and Alea got to talk to the host of the show and place a song request. He asked her her name, what she was doing (going to see Grandma and Papa), and where she lives (Arkansas), and the song she wanted to hear (Crazy Frog). She was so cute. The DJ played her song and said afterwards that it was requested by Alea in Arkansas. Alea was famous for a second. She thought it was pretty neat.

So far so good

Alea seems to be doing well so far this morning. Yea! We have a Girl Scout outing tonight that I have to go even if Alea doesn't go because I am a leader. I hope she feels well enough to go. I am SO against people exposing their sick children to others so she will REALLY have to be better for her to go. Either way I have to miss my first STATS class to go. I actually do hate to miss it because I don't understand even when I am there so I can't imagine that missing a class will help me too much. All for the love of my girl!

fever, fever

I took Alea to the doctor today. We were there two hours and at the end of it they told me she had a fever and was sick. Duh! I knew that. Her flu test came back negative, but they said they have had a lot of false negatives. They ran a step test and it came back negative, but they said it could still be strep. They gave her a Z-Pack. We'll see if that helps. She is still running a fever but the Tylonel seems to help her disposition at least.

Fever

Alea came home with a fever after spending a weekend with her Daddy attending a family gathering. I'll be staying home with her tomorrow. I don't think it's the flu. She is complaining of a headache and has mentioned a sore throat. We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to me! The big ## today. (Use your keyboard to figure it out.)

I went with the kindergarten classes at my school to the pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun. I am VERY worn out though.

Davin and Alea got me gift cards to Old Navy and Gap, a paper cutter, and a Snuggie for me and one for Sparkles. :) Sweet, sweet family.
