What we have been up to...

Wow! February has flown by and I have been busy... Crazy to think it is March! We have been having a great time with friends and family lately, as well as our involvement in preschool! I have successfully planned the field trips through the end of the year--Max and Ruby at Clowes Hall, School Bus ride, Sally's Ceramics, the IMA and more!! I am looking forward to an even bigger task next year....I was elected Vice President of the preschool for the 08-09 school year! Needless to say I am thrilled to take on this new challenge and the adventures it is sure to bring.

Hanna still wears her tiara everyday (see previous post) :) And we even bought her a pink cowgirl hat that I was sure would do the trick ha ha....


We ventured downtown to Crackers Comedy Club with some couples from preschool last Friday. Joe and I had never been to a comedy club before and we all had a great time!! Worth the money, without a doubt. We are loving our new friends, it is so convenient that Hanna and their daughters are new bff's.


Saturday Hendricks County had a preschool fair, Apple House had a booth and lots of fun stuff for the kiddos. We worked in the morning and stayed late for the bounce house and face painting.


This weekend we are going to a Dr. Seuss party, cleaning the house and I have some "honey do "things for Joe...other than that we are laying low. Hope everyone can get out and enjoy the weather today!

Happiness can be bought with $3.29

We recently visited Cassie and Dustin so Joe could help Dustin with some house projects. After their success we all took a trip to the mall. Hanna was so wonderful while we were there that Daddy and I gave her $5.00 she could spend. She was very frugal and serious about her choice. She chose to go to Claire's and found several things she liked but after nearly 20 minutes of deliberation she decided on a pink sparkly tiara for $3.29. She paid out of her Hello Kitty wallet and wore it the rest of the day, and then the next day and then..... Ha! Hanna has worn this tiara everyday since she made her purchase. It has been to preschool, on walks with Daisy, the Pediatrician's office, library and Kroger's! Talk about getting your money's worth!

There was also a wedding in the Walker house! Her very favorite bear PB (formerly pink bear) married her webkinz Snowball. We had a ceremony,Hanna was the flower girl, I was a bridesmaid and photographer. They used Hanna's Barbie car to travel to their honeymoon and even moved into the doll house together. I am not sure if they are registered anywhere, I will have to check with Hanna and get back to anyone who wishes to send their congratulations!

Barbie Bunco Party!

This weekend I attended my first Bunco party! Traci, a wonderful friend of mine threw a Barbie themed Bunco party for all the preschool mommies, we had a fantastic time. A few bottles of wine, a fun game and and lots of friends! Ran out of great ideas and went as Sleepover Barbie, there were some amazing costumes there- we think our next one will be bridesmaid dresses;)

We also had a preschool birthday party on Friday where we stayed late and played cards with our super friends Megan and Mike (their daughter Lillie is Hanna's other BFF at preschool), we lost but had a great time. I need to really brush up on my 'hold em...card games may become a very regular thing for preschool mommies and daddies. We hope everyone is having a great week, we are looking forward to the Super Bowl --go Eli!!

Masterpiece!

Hanna and Daddy finished her jewelry box last night and she is so proud of it! She has it stuffed full already. We also thought it would be fun to make something special to go inside, so we made necklaces too. Mommy, Hanna and PB all get to match:)

Yesterday was Hanna's pizza field trip, it was so much fun. I will get pictures up soon, she liked the tossing of the dough the best. Big shout out for Noble Roman's on 10th St. I am having so much fun being Field Trip chairwoman....I think I might even add it to my resume, for that unforeseeable time when I might actually venture back to the working field :)

Dresses and jewelry....

We had a wonderful time in Evansville over the weekend. I love the bridesmaid dress, not the price, but I do love the dress!! We all got fitted for everything, talked some fun wedding stuff with Christie, but the best part of all was finding a $30 flower girl dress for Hanna!!!!! It was exactly what Christie wanted and is truly fabulous! As an added bonus it even came with a matching little dress for a doll or in Hanna's case Pink Bear.

Christie also got us Christmas presents! Hanna loves her "paint your own jewelery box"! She and Daddy worked very hard on it last night and can't wait to finish it tonight. Will post a picture when she is finished. What a great present that was.

The games were exciting, but I just can't stand the dang Pats! I am rooting for Eli all the way...it is sure to be a great Super Bowl game!

No Pants....!

About 3 months ago Hanna was starting to get very upset if she didn't have any skirts or dresses clean! I thought it may be a fluke...definetly not.

She has fully boycotted pants all together! So for months now she will only wear skirts or dresses and an array of special tights! I have accepted it and no longer suggest outfits to her, there will be no more morning battles and no "I think it is too cold for skirts today". Hanna picks out everything she wants to wear and sometimes it matches and sometimes.... it is a pink shirt, stripey tights, leopard skirt and silver sparkly shoes (this was todays outfit). I love her creativity and will never have to bear the rebuttle of "mom- why did you dress me like that??" I will have the joy of saying "you picked it our yourself"

*I am now listing all of her excellent condition, never worn, pants on ebay!! ha ha

Good Game!

We had a great weekend at our birthday parties, happy birthday Kenzie and Cassie! I always feel anytime we spend with friends is time well spent.

Joe had an even better weekend with a surprise invitation to the Indianapolis Colts' playoff game!! A friend of ours has season tickets and found himself with an extra , he invited Joe and they had a wonderful time...15 rows up and and a day with the guys--Joe definetly deserved it! Even though our team lost, it was a really exciting game, and an all together great season. Hanna and I enjoyed watching the game and looking for daddy...(didn't see him- did you?)

We will be in Evansville this weekend being fitted for bridesmaid and flower girl dresses for Christie and Brian's wedding this summer. The whole family will be involved, Joe will also be an usher. Hanna is very excited that one of Christie's colors is pink:), other than that we are hoping to get around to painting the scary fish bathroom as well! Hope everyone is having a truly wonderful day before the snow comes here in the Midwest....
