Fun Times!

So much has been going on this week!

First of all, I FINALLY got started on making things for my business! I am still working out all the details of exactly what I want to make, and pricing, but I've decided that this weekend will be a Summer Suzette Couture products-making marathon so that hopefully I can begin listing things next week.

Here's a sneak peak at one bow that I made this week.

Kaylee also had Closing Ceremony last night for softball. The Cheetah Divas got 3rd place, so we were very proud of them. She was just super happy that they handed out medals. She did not want a trophy. She wanted a medal! She even wore it to school today. Ha!

We are also very proud of Madison. She was picked by her teacher to be a "star student" for the last six weeks. One student is picked from each homeroom every six weeks based on their work ethic, the fact that they always try their best, and that they are role models. This morning I got to attend a special breakfast they had to honor their star students.

And, just for a little shameless plug for my business......I made her bow and her t-shirt that she is wearing. You can expect to see things like this in my store soon. :) Her principal complimented her on her shirt today. That made me excited!

The girls also got their report cards today. Madison's lowest grade was a 98 and she was cracking me up because she has been really worried about this fitness test they've been having in gym because she couldn't pass the "curl-ups" part (LOL, she is so my child!), but she got an "E" in gym this six weeks, which is the best you can get. She's way too much like me in that she worries too much! We are working on that. Kaylee is only in Kindergarten, but her report card shows that she has mastered everything they are supposed to learn this year and her teacher said she is "ready for first grade and doing really well."

Today after school, the girls and I met up at the movies with their good friends, Tori and Tali, and their Mom Julie to see the "Hannah Montana" movie. This was Kaylee and Lily's first time to the movies. This was a big deal for me! I haven't been to the movies in years. Partly because Lily was so little, and partly because the idea of it gave me so much anxiety. Can I just say again how much I want to get down on my knees and Praise God! for curing me of my anxiety?!! When I say it was horrible, I mean it was horrible and debilitating and it ruined my life for 4 years! I feel like I've been released from prison and I owe it all to God! If you aren't a believer and you don't think there is a God, I am here to tell you that there is and I have proof!

Anyways, I digress. We had such a great time at the movie. Lily did pretty well, considering she's only 2. You should've seen how excited she was to see the huge movie screen. She even got up during the movie and was dancing to some of the songs. She's such a cutie pie! That movie made me want to be a young girl again! That kind of stuff is so much fun! I am going to have a blast with my girls doing stuff like this now!

Well, my two big kids are having a sleepover at Tori and Tali's house tonight, so it has turned out to be a great day for them.

It's been a great week for me. I even got a special phone call today from someone I consider one of my closest friends, though today was the first time we've talked to each other........it was my best blogging friend, Veronica! It was so much fun to talk to her, and as I suspected, she said I totally sound "country". LOL!! And I discovered that Californians have no idea what Rotel tomatoes are. Us Texans use rotel for lots of things. Do y'all know what it is? And Californians don't wear lots of hairbows like us Southerners do. I told Veronica that she's going to have to start a new trend around there when she gets my bows. Ha!! Love ya, Veronica!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! It is pouring down right now. Remember last week when I said it flooded around here? Well, I may have driven through some high water, which may have gotten into my front passenger-side floorboard, which may have started stinking, which may have led Madison to say my car smelled like throw-up, to which I may have told her it smells more like a dumpster to me, which may have led Morgan to spend $300 on new carpet for my car. By the way, I have an SUV too, so it's not like it's low to the ground, but such is life. Note to self: don't drive through high water, no matter how high you "think" your car is!
