Alyssa found out about a week ago that she had made the "Homecoming Court". She was so excited and I was so proud. With her being the new kid, I was shocked too. Well, last weekend we made a fast trip to New Orleans to get a dress for this big event. This week everyday was something...Friday was crazy. But we made it, and she had alot of fun!
The girls love that they can come and go with the doors open.
They will play out on the back porch for hours.
We have been pretty busy lately. Keeping up with two in school is a full time job.
Last Sunday we went to a fellowship for our new Sunday School class at the park. It was alot of fun and we got to know alot of new people.
Instead of a party this year, Sara wanted to go to the Libby Lu store and get a "Rock Star" makeover. She was SO excited! and really loved it!
I have been working on Alyssa for months to change her hair style or cut. So, tonight I made some progress...she let me cut it to about 2 inchs below her shoulders and she said that she would be wiling to cut it to her shoulders IF a professional did it. I said, OK. After we cut it, she said, "Oh, I like it" and smiled. So, I think she did like it. I curled it under, she wants it straighter.
When she came home that afternoon, she gave me the note all crumbled up and said "Mom, don't put letters in my lunch box no more!" We laughed and I said Ok, I won't.
Well, later on that evening we went to a gym near here to check out a gymnastic class Sara will be attending. She got mad because we were just observeing the class and she couldn't actually do the class. She got was upset and started haveing a melt down. I picked her up and we left early becasue of this. She was really mad now. When we got in the car and started mouthing about having to go and not being able to see what she was going to doing.
She mouthed all the way home saying she was going to grow up and move out and not come back to see us, and make her own rules and do what she wanted to do and not write letter in her child's lunch. I just let her go, NOT saying a word. When we got home, I told her to go to her room, she was punished. She said "WHY?" I told her she couldn't talk to me like that. She stormed upstairs. It was a evening, and she is only 4. Oh, I can't wait for the teenage years.
Also, Wednesday Alyssa came home from school saying her gifted paper work was incomplete and that they are going to move her to a regular classes. So, Thursday morning I got up and went to school to find out. After many hours of talking and figureing all this out. Basicly, it is because Alyssa was tested in Louisiana not in Alabama
and can't just transfer into their gifted classes. So, after 6 weeks of being in another class they will process her with her scores from La and do the behavoir evals from here. Not really fair, but I guess I can understand.
Then tonight Alyssa wants to go to the movies with her friends...go meet them there and I'll pick her up. Kory being the person he is says no, I said, ok. We have to come to some kind of agreement here. It's only just begun!
Today, I worked in my FUN room!
My model didn't really want her picture taken.
BUT it was fun to play.
