The Highs and Lows of January 2015

Well, I can't say that it has been a super exciting start to 2015 but here are the highlights (at least the ones I managed to capture in pictures).

This picture of Anna Clare pretty much sums her up about now - she constantly has a "chewy" in her mouth.  And is typically found following me around the house pointing into her open mouth and saying "ouchy" - guess who has her 2 year molars coming in?!?  Fingers crossed they come in fast.

So thanks to one of our many (MANY) Fancy Nancy books I was sorta familiar with the 100th day of school concept.  Well, it happened.  Kate is officially 100 Days Smarter!  We were tasked with creating a t shirt with 100 somethings on it.  So we took a trip to Hobby Lobby and Kate choose googly eyes (the ones with the eyelashes - because they were girly!).  And I broke out the glue gun and went to work.  The little fashion-ista chose the New York Giants hair bow and glittery headband.  (and, why yes, that is the minivan she's in because mommy forgot to take the picture before leaving for school and had to pull off the road and make Kate get out of her seat so this could be shared in the blog!) 

Kate started taking gymnastics class in January.  She's having a great time and actually still wants to go to class after a full month has passed.  I certainly don't expect her to become some great gymnast but it is nice that she actually wants to participate in some kind of activity!  Finally!

Kate and I were able to go see Fancy Nancy at the Peace Center in downtown last weekend.  Another pair of freebie tickets in exchange for my glowing review of the play put on by the SC Children's Theatre.  I'm thinking Kate may need to go to drama camp at SCCT this summer...

And last but certainly not least - the girls had a little Valentines Day photo shoot a few weekends ago.  Now that Anna Clare is a little older she's realizing that she is not in most of the pictures in the house!  Sadly, she has begun carrying the photo of Kate after her baptism around the house saying "mommy, daddy, me me" (what she calls herself).  I haven't had the heart to tell her that its actually Kate in the photo.  But her mean sister spilled the beans the other day.  Time to get some new photos up!
