Beautiful Moments 9-29-11
Anyway, that was a beautiful moment right?
Parent/Teacher Conference's
She was the first girl to win the First in Math "Player of the day" neckless and she was so happy. She worked hard for that and enjoyed every minute of wearing that award.
Overall she is doing really well and Ms Reed and I are very happy with her:-)
Masie- She is doing fabulous. Mrs Stanbrough is very impressed with her and compliments her on everything. She wrote some really sweet, lovely things about Masie. She needs to work a little more on her First in Math to pull her math grade up slightly.
She is a great peer model and is a friend to everyone. Guess what?? She was chosen as the TERRIFIC KID!!! She doesn't know yet so shh its a secret.
Great Parent/Teacher Conferences I'm proud of all my girls.

Book Review- Jane Eyre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It only took me about 15 years to pick up this book but I got there in the end. I was meant to read it in school but never did, Im sorry that I didnt as it was a brilliant book, I was caught in the story from page one. Young Jane Eyre, neglected and pushed away her whole life was always so caring and sweet to others. She found love throughout her life from friends, discovered family members and a husband.
I enjoyed this book a lot and now I can say Ive finally read a classic!!

Beautiful Moments 9-17-11
In the evening I sat with Taylor while she read the first chapter of a Junie B Jones book. This is her first Chapter book and she was so proud of herself. We were snuggled on the rocking chair, it was lovely.

On a separate note, she is reading my kindle like crazy, like read a whole chapter book in three days crazy (and reviewing it in detail to me). She is desperately trying to prove that a Kindle is the perfect gift for her, still not completely sold but closer than I was.

Beautiful Moments 9-13-11
I had a few beautiful moments today but I choose Mason and Hailey. We had to walk to the school (Taylor had a huge fit over a spoon, long story) anyway as I had to pack up everyone for a walk anyway I decided to give them an assignment. I first gave Hailey my camera and then Mason took over half way around. Their assignment was to look hard and find shapes, they had so much fun taking pictures and the things they were finding amazed me. We are going to print them all out and make a collage. They worked together so well, they are getting so grown up and turning into very smart little people.

Beautiful Moments 9-12-11
This is a hard one... um you choose
- I put a load of towels in the washer and it starts leaking
- I put the washer on spin to empty it and the kitchen sink fills up and empties on my floor
- Had to call Chris back from work when he had an inspection because the house was under water
- Called out the plumber and is now $200 poorer (although, he could of charge a lot more)
- Realized my plumbing wasn't wrong and it should have never drained in my sink
- Black stinky water covered my kitchen, laundry room and dinning room and I had to clean it
- Finally sit down, thinking this should be my "beautiful moment" I'm sat with my best friend watching the kids in the pool with a caramel Frappe and magazines, then the wind picks up and it starts to rain
- Couldnt get to my kitchen all day so Chris brought home Taco Bell and now I feel sick and fat
At bedtime we finished our book "James and the giant peach" and we had a good laugh discussing the book and braiding hair, that is my beautiful moment!

Book Review- James and the Giant Peach
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
GREAT book, I read it to my girls and they couldnt get enough, the story was exciting and kept us in suspence at the end of each chapter. About 4 chapters left to read and I ask each of the girls how they think the story will end, first
Me- The peach gets turned into a giant smoothie
Masie- Everybody eats the peach
Taylor- something happens to it and only a little bit is left
Hailey- A whale comes and takes one bite.
One of us got it right, I wont say which one in case you havent read it, but I will say it wasnt Hailey,lol.

Beautiful Moments- 9-10-11
10 Years Ago Today
- 4 planes hit our country, two being the world trade center in New York City.
- 10 years ago today our whole world as we knew it changed forever.
- 10 years ago today Thousands of innocent people lost their lives.
- 10 years ago today families were rip apart.
- 10 years ago today service men and women died for their country
Today we remember those who are no longer with us due to Terrorism
September 11Th will never just be a normal day
Masie had a project to do this weekend, it was hard for her at first. She did not want to do it, look at pictures or even talk about it. The whole event to her like everyone else is distressing to think about. Its part of our history now unfortunately and she needed to understand it. After a while she got into the project and researched her paper. She did a great job and was proud of her work. Today we will be watching the documentary on the event, Taylor also had to discuss it so we will be talking to her too.

Book Review- The Help
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wish I could give this book more than a five, everyone should read this book!! It is so sad what used to happen between White people and Black people. Awful, sad and just plain wrong. Im glad things finally worked out but these things actually happened and people lived through these situations. It took one brave person to open everyones eyes, I felt right there in the book. I love books that pull me in like that.
Fantastic Book!

Beautiful Moments
I decided to pick the moment when I put the kids in the living room with a movie and Chris was studying and I took my kindle into the bath (very carefully).
I was reading my book "The Help" this is a great book and although I don't get much free time, when I do I read it. It will be reviewed soon as I'm at 90%. Anyway I closed the doors had my hot water and relaxed...........................Then Hailey came in and bugged me and bugged me "Mummy can I get in? Can I get my shirt wet? Mummy, Mummy? Taylor wont give me a glue stick? Can I pee in my pull up? Etc Etc!!
Oh, what, that's not a beautiful moment? oops, welcome to my life,lol.
