Jaiden was counting down the days to her kindergarten "Teddy Bear Picnic." They could bring any stuffed animal (it didn't have to be a teddy bear) so she chose her little black dog, "Sally." She just couldn't decide between her black dog and her tan dog and so she ended up sneaking them both into her backpack. We packed her a lunch and it seems that both Jaiden and Sally had a great time!
This afternoon we had our "Nickle Auction." A neighborhood friend hosts a nickle auction every couple of months at her house. Those who participate can bring things they want to auction (gently used clothes, books, toys, kitchen or household items -- you name it) or/and then we can buy things that others have brought. (You don't make much money -- it is more of an exchange). So anyway, today I brought a ton of clothes -- and came home with a ton of different clothes. Josh is now outfitted for the next year and was so excited about all of his "new" clothes! There weren't really any clothes in the other kids' sizes -- except for a few items I got for Jaiden. She was thrilled about the two "new" dresses I got for her. It is a lot of fun and its great to get rid of things you don't want while acquiring things you do want! If any of you are interested in participating let me know and we will put you on the e-mail list!
Tonight was Janika's middle school Hawaiian-themed dance. She was really excited for it but complained about the music when she got home. She said that they played a lot of songs with inappropriate lyrics and language. She said that she and her friends made a game out of changing the lyrics to appropriate (and funny) ones and then screamed them out at the top of their lungs to block out the bad ones. It is sad that they would play inappropriate music at a middle school dance, but I am proud of Janika for doing her little part to try and block them out and for letting us know about the problem. Hopefully we can do something about it for the next one.
