PTA -- I've stayed away from all things PTA until recently. I would rather be volunteering in the kids' classes than running a book fair or something. I've said 'no' to lots of nice ladies and didn't feel badly for saying so. This year, I found myself coerced into doing Red Ribbon Week at the jr. high, which also meant that I was on the PTA board. Kind of took me out of my comfort zone a bit, but then I found that I really enjoyed being on the board because I knew so much more about what was happening at the school. And since Christian is my 1st child there, that's a good thing for the girls who will follow. Somehow, though, I've now allowed myself to be on the PTA board for next year at the elementary school and (**cough, heart palpitations, cough **) am now the PTA President Elect for this coming year at the Jr. High. That means I'll be PTA President the year that Haley & Christian are both in jr. high and when Elle is finally in 1st grade. Huge jump from no PTA to PTA Pres. Hello?! I'll be the one calling all of those other moms who won't get involved in PTA, begging them to come get involved. Don't ask me what I was thinking....
BALLET -- Elle & Paige just performed in their studio's ballet recital, Cinderella. Elle's class were mice (seriously so cute!) and Paige's class had the comical performance of the night. In the ballet, the stepsisters go to dance lessons before the ball to learn how to dance. Paige's class were the dancers trying to teach them the steps. I love the way their studio puts on the ballet recital ... the costumes are stunning and they're beautiful to watch.
SPELLBOUND -- Haley finished in the top 15 or so (out of 80 kids) at the District Spelling Bee and now she's preparing for the County, where she'll be up against jr. high kids, too. Go Akeelah!
HOUSE -- I really like this house. Like, a lot.
40 -- Countdown!! 13 more days until I am the big 4-0. Cannot wait.
PARKING -- We've been here 6 months and we can finally park both cars in the 3 car garage. The 3rd stall is still jam packed but we're two-thirds of the way there. Progress!

Go Haley -- that is so cool. And yeah for 40, especially if you spend it on the beach.
Yeah for Haley and yeah for 40 on the beach!
I love your house a lot, too. So fun to have our family parties there. Speaking of which - when's the next one??? We will have to do something big for your 4-0. I didn't realize that was happening for you this year. Don't worry - I'm right behind you.
