Today is Crazy Hair Day for Ridgeway Elementary Spirit Week. Laura was so excited and wanted five ponytails with five different color rubber bands in her hair. It was so fun getting to fix her hair and I couldn’t wait to take a picture!
Silly Glasses Day
It’s “Silly Glasses Day” for Ridgeway Elementary Spirit Week! I bought Laura two different types of silly glasses from Dollar Tree. There are the proverbial huge, pink glasses and a pair of purple, glittery stars. Laura took both of them to school today and she will “change them as she feels like it.”
Not to be outdone by Big Sister, John decided he had to try on the glasses as well. He decided they weren’t for him though and could Mommy please go buy him his own silly glasses that aren’t purple?

Laura wanted to wear her Dora the Explorer pajamas to school today and she is so excited to get to wear her pajamas ALL DAY LONG!
The Rough Life of Newman the Cat
Newman the Cat has one rough life. It is pretty hard to find *just* the right spot for sleeping in the sun.
Note to John
Note to John: Sometimes, Mom really DOES know best. I’m aware that you will not understand that until you are probably 30 or older. You didn’t want to take a nap today. You fought it for over an hour. I understand that you want to play, but you still need your afternoon nap. The picture is proof…
Bubba Ben Turns 2!
Ben, the youngest at the kids’ daycare, turned 2 and his birthday party was at Empire Roller Rink this afternoon. We had gone roller skating once before and Laura wouldn’t even consider putting on skates. This time, she was looking forward to it and excited to go roller skating. She did such a great job! She had a blast and just wanted to skate, skate, skate! I’m not sure who actually had more fun, though…Daddy or Laura?
John wouldn’t put on skates, but he still had a great time running around, “playing” the arcade games (no, I didn’t actually put money in them), and watching the other kids skate. Of course, he was very excited about cake and ice cream and watching Ben open his presents.
It was a great party and I’m sure we’ll be going back now and then to just roller skate. I didn’t put on roller skates this time as I was keeping an eye on John and taking a ton of pictures. I’m sure Andy will be sore tomorrow after chasing Laura around the rink for two hours!
Toys R Us
Grandma Marianne and Grandpa Ralph gave Laura and John gift cards to Toys R Us. They also gave Andy and I $25, which we let the kids use tonight at Toys R Us. Laura was in awe of all the Lalaloopsy items. She settled on two playsets for her Mini Lalaloopsies and also ended up getting a stuffed purple flower. Don’t ask me why on the flower, I don’t know. LOL
John was in shock at all the cars in the Matchbox/Hot Wheels aisle. He, of course, settled on a semi-truck that has a car carrier (how can you NOT love a truck that holds your cars?) and two more packages of cars. One can never have enough of those apparently.
