Welcome 2018, It's Report card time

Charli!!!!! You received your first report card from kindergarten and it was nothing short of amazing. We are so proud of you and we are taking you out to cook in front of you to celebrate. There wasn't a category that you didn't excel. That makes us so proud! Way to go honey. School has been wonderful for you in all aspects and I couldn't be happier knowing just how much you enjoy being there. You hit the 100th day of school and had a huge celebration. We decorated your 100 with googly eyes and pom poms it was awesome! We also made the coolest unicorn Valentine's day box of course with an horn and as shiny and glittery as we could make it. You were so proud and you should be. Just to add to all our crafting projects we made your invitations for your upcoming pizza party celebrating your 6th, yes 6th birthday! What? When did that happen? Holy guacamole, where did the time go???? I cannot even believe that you are reading and writing and I mean well, really well. I am in awe. You know what I think it the best part about school? Snow days! And guess what, we had one and you guys wasted no time getting in the snow and playing in  your snow suits---one thing you didn't remember was to bring your boots home from school so I wrapped your feet in plastic bags and you wore your rain boots. LOL only us :)

 The start of 2018 has been a great one as we spent the second day of 2018 at the Magic Kingdom. (Your favorite part was the dumbo ride and the Aladdin ride and I let you drive the car)May I mention it was COLD. Just a week before on Christmas we were swimming in 80' weather and gathering shells from the beach. The weather is like life, you never know what each day will bring so make the most of each day you have. We try to do just that, every day should be a new experience and adventure. You my little miracle have started piano lessons, fungeneering, and continue to rock in gymnastics. We have talked about hip hop dance, tennis, and soccer so let the games begin! Whenever there is a crafting class offered we make sure you are there! It's so great that you have an artist in  Grandma and a master crafter in Auntie Terry which means you will always have something fun to make.

Just last week we went to see Disney on Ice and wow that was spectacular. I have to admit that the part you and Danica loved the most were the $12 each icy's..... in a souvenir cup- yep that's right, $12. You picked Rapunzel and Danica Elsa, then  you continued to have laughing attacks for the next 2 hours. It was quite a day to say the least. We will be going to see "The Emperor's New Clothes" next so that is something to be excited about. With spring around the corner we have 4 birthday parties lined up and yours so there is so much going on. The busier you are the happier you are so lets just do stuff!

Oh Charli by the way,  do you think that you could make it a habit to sleep in your own beautiful room in your own bed? Let's see if that is something we can work on for 2018.

---One side story you have been learning about secrets, and pinky swears, and making wishes. We talked about how you don't have to share your wishes ... but you kept getting sad that yours wasn't coming true..... You told me that you wish for a baby brother-----oh my sweet angel Charli, I too have wished for that---- but sometimes something better happens than what you wished for and for me it was YOU and DANICA. There is a song called "Unanswered prayers" by Garth Brooks, when you read this listen to the song you will  understand exactly what  I mean. I love you honey.

and that triggered my mind about secrets, which is such a big deal at this age and secrets are not a good thing. We have discussed any secret you are told Mommy has to know so we are good on  that...but oh boy did I screw up. I taught you how to make a silly noise and said that no one else knows how to do it, so it is our secret. I did the noise in the car in Florida with Daddy, Danica, and Eric, and you flipped out. I don't know if I am not allowed to make the noise but all I know is that Eric helped save the day. He let me know that in families we don't have secrets and that I am his sister and have been annoying him with that sound forever. You were still made at me, but I have to admit it was hilarous, you had daggers in your eyes. Oh my pannie.
