Gotta love the weekend...

Hello! I'm finally getting a chance to blog again after a few busy days... well, okay, when am I NOT busy?? Thursday's classes were great this week... and the Weight watchers continues to go well. I made a really yummy dinner on Thursday night and actually took a picture of it! I wanted to show how satisfying a meal can be, even on a budget of 21 food points a day! I made cilantro grilled chicken (yummm...) and also grilled up some onions and peppers... I measured out 1 oz of Stacey's pita chips (have you tried them yet?? if not, they are SOOO good,but SOOOO addictive!), and then I broiled some asparagus (one layer on a cookie sheet, spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with a little salt, and broil until crispy - so good!)... It was so yummy and only used up 6 points! For my weight watchers friends, you know that you can't beat that for a dinner!!!!

Here's the picture... but of course I'm not a photographer, so it really doesn't look as good as it did in person...but you get the gist!


Okay, so let's see what else.. oh! good news, I got my biopsy results back on my freckles and all is fine. (thank God).

On Friday, Anna had to bring in a show and tell representing the letter U. Not an easy one... but we came up with "unicorn". Will and Anna both told me that we didn't have any Unicorns, but I said, "AHA! Hold on"... and I came back with my childhood music box plush Unicorn. Anna took it to school and proudly told the teacher that it was her "mommy's when she was a little girl". How sweet is that???? Anna loves that it plays "Somewhere over the Rainbow", and I just love that Anna likes it so much.



Anna came home that same day with the cutest project. I guess they were celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss(?). Well Aiden LOVED it!


Today I worked another Kindermusik party... while Anna was at our friends Dave and Hope's daughter Samantha's b-day party. Well, apparently this party was a HIT. Anna had the BEST time... it was a princess party. Anna dressed up, got her nails done, decorated a tiara, got dancing lessons, learned to curtsy, and much more! Will was extra proud of Anna because she was very social and outgoing...which for Anna is a new thing. She has always been that cautious, tentative, shy little girl...but this year she has certainly blossomed. We are so proud of her. Here are some pictures that Will got from that event!

Anna all dressed up!


She was happy to pair off with someone and learn a new dance.


Anna curtsied in front of everyone when it was her turn.


Anna received her official princess certificate


Oh, and Aiden went along for the ride (but was apparently very intrigued by the events!


We had a mellow evening at home. Elizabeth and hubby Richard came over, so i could go over some KM stuff with her, and then we just had wine and chatted. Lovely relaxing time..

Tomorrow is going to be SO much fun... We are taking the kids to a Pet Fair at the Orlando Science Center. Will went last year, and said how much fun it was. I think the kids will love it! Should be a nice family day.

Hope everyone has a nice restful rest of the weekend...

Love, Holly
