My little SI model cute as a lady bug

You might have noticed I haven't had as much to time to update the blog. Not nearly as much as I would like, even though I have a lot to say. I've just been so busy with life (which btw has been action-packed) and all of Soph's homework and projects. So here's a quick snapshot to show how we've been busy with life, especially where Soph is concerned.

She's so looking forward to being the "Everyday Hero" this Friday. They have been learning about patriotic symbols, learning about the flag, it's colors, stars and stripes and what it all represents. So we had to create a flag that represented Sophie on standard size paper. In a nutshell, this flag portrays Soph.

Everyday Hero

You may not be able to see everything, but the stripes represent her age. The pink and purple represent her two favorite colors. You'll see her favorite food is spaghetti and favorite dessert is yogurt. Her favorite shows are Dragon Tales, Kipper, Noddy, Berenstein Bears and the Goodnight Show. She wants to be an Artist and a Doctor when she grows up. She taught herself how to hula hoop when she was just 4 years old. Her two favorite princesses are Snow White and Aurora. Sophie is so proud the way her flag turned out and can't wait to share with everyone in her class.

100 Days

Soph's school is about to approach 100 days at school. The assignment for next week was to make a collection of 100 items... whether it be cheerios, marshmallows, stars, toothpicks, etc. We decided to use noodles... actually garlic, spinach fettuccine. And at the same time construct a house with it. Soph kept saying, "this isn't going to look good, I want to do a Christmas tree, this isn't going to look good, etc." Still, I had her color all the noodles and to her surprise, she ended up loving it and can't wait to bring it to school next week.

Switching gears, we went to Gymboree to buy another pair of jeans as she's growing like a weed, however this bathing suit was the highlight. Doesn't she look like a SI model?

My Little Lady Bug

Okay, okay maybe not.

Hope everyone's New Year is off to a good start!
