Wee One’s “new best friend” at VBS found JoJo in the rice table in the arts and crafts room. I’m very excited JoJo has been found, and even more excited that Wee One has someone she’s calling a best friend. I saw the other girl’s mom today, and she said that her daughter came home talking about her “new best friend”, too, so it looks like the feeling is mutual. Looks like it's going to be a great week!

I shouldn't be shocked anymore
My husband is such a man sometimes. Tomorrow is our anniversary (9 years! woot woot!), and I asked Mike yesterday what he wanted. His response? “When’s that coming up?” I just looked at him, laughed, and commented that I guess that means he doesn’t have any big awesome surprise planned for me then. I think it’s hilarious that he can’t ever remember, and he also can’t remember when my birthday is. Such a man sometimes!
We are going to eat with a really great friend of mine tomorrow night, and next week we are child free all week. I'm sure we'll do something then, but not because he remembered!!

I'm so not good at this!
I’ve realized that by trying to keep this an artsy blog with just a little about me, that it doesn’t get updated very often. So, I’m going to try to turn this into a blog about me, and throw artsy stuff in. Maybe I’ll be a little better about keeping it updated then. I hope!
So, Wee One has had a very busy few days. On Thursday she threatened to beat up a 7 year old girl (yes, she’s only 4. And a tiny 4 at that!), this past weekend she went camping and had s’mores for the first time, and today we lost JoJo. That’s right. JoJo. Her love. The one doll that has been with her since she was 18 months old and has been to NYC, Disney World, Texas and who knows where else in the last almost 3 years. I thankfully have an extra, but I really want to have the other back as well! There’s a reason we have two!
She took JoJo to VBS with her this morning, and her teacher told me that she saw it in the room right before they went to final assembly. I took her straight back to the room to get it, and it wasn’t there. I’ve searched the Children’s Wing and asked all the teachers, but she’s no where to be seen. I’m hoping that a little kid took her home and tonight the mom will realize that it has our name on it and bring it back. Since we have an extra it’s not as bad as it could be. But I really hope we get her back! I don’t want to have to track another one down somewhere!
Observe:
I'm not sure when this was taken, but I'm sure it's somewhere around her 2nd birthday.
And this was last August on the first day of Preschool
That doll goes EVERYWHERE with us!

FIELD TRIP!!
Wee One's class went on a field trip to the Fire Department Museum today and hubby and I went went her. It was a lot of fun, and pretty educational, too. They really stressed fire safety (calling 911, stop, drop and roll, getting out of the house if the smoke alarm goes off, etc), let the kids practice stop, drop and roll, made them crawl through a hallway with (fake) smoke and let the slide down a fire pole. Then we went and saw all the old fire trucks (including a really cool steam one from 1904 - first truck in the city.), and they let them pretend to drive one and ring the bell. After that we went through the firemen's quarters, and then got to come home. She loved it, and it was crazy having about 60 kids and 45 adults crammed into this little bitty museum! Here are some pictures from today, and a bonus picture of her and her daddy (with his new longer hair.)

Star Week
So, this week is her star week at school. That basically means that she gets to be the leader all week, I get to bring snacks, and we have to bring in a poster with pictures of her and things she likes. She could decorate the poster with whatever she wanted, and had to be able to tell the class about the different things on it.
We finally finished her poster last night, and it's definitely "her." All the other posters so far have been poster board with some pictures and a some stickers. However, between me, the graphic designer, and my daughter the diva, her's isn't nearly that simple. I think it came out very well, though.
She also spent the weekend at my grandmother's (her great-grandmother's) and spent it drawing with sidewalk chalk. Here's her drawing of Cinderella and Snow White.
I think there's definitely a little creative streak there. ;)

New shoes!!
First off, I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We had a very nice holiday, and got to see all of our family. Wee One got more stuff than any one child needs, and I promise those pictures will be coming soon!
I had a great Christmas as well - received new games for the Wii (Lego Batman and Mario Party 8, and hubby got the new Nerf game), but more importantly, I received new shoes!
Both of my sisters bought me a pair, and I love them both. One is definitely more practical, but both are very cute! My baby sister bought me the cutest pair of purple patent leather flats with silver buckles on the front. They are adorable, and I will try to get pictures of them soon. They are actually really comfortable, and look great with pretty much every pair of pants I own. Now I just need to find enough tops to go with them! My other sister bought me theses:
Can I just say how much I love them??? They are completely impractical, and not very comfy, but oh so cute! I'm wearing them today at work, and let me tell you - I'm finding reasons to not get up and walk around! But I love them.
I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that you all stay safe. Happy New Year, and see you in 2009!

I've assembled my own army...
Wee One's class party is today, and also her Christmas party at the babysitter's. I, being the rampant overachiever that I am, decided to make these adorable reindeer cupcake pops that I saw on Bakerella. I decided to make enough for each kid and teacher to have 2, so that's a total of 54 reindeer. That means 54 sucker sticks. 54 sets of hand broken antlers. 54 faces painted on and noses glued. And 54 ribbons tied. I now have my very own reindeer army! They're not quite as good as Bakerella's, and I've had to reglue about 15 sets of antlers so far, but Wee One adores them, and I'm sure they'll be a huge hit at her party!
The army (minus about 12-15 that are sitting in the fridge.) And yes, that would be 1:25am. I'm apparently a glutton for punishment.
