That is totally a word, in case you were wondering.

I've just uploaded a bunch of photos from the weekend. They were mostly from Sunday, when we were cruising around the park. Seriously good times. If you'd like to see them, just click HERE. Comments are welcome (hint).

On Saturday, I took a rump load of photos of all of the teams. It seems that my memory card decided to have a fit (just like a woman) and get its panties in a wad. I was able to retrieve ONE photo from that card. I'm hoping that the other parents will have more to share.

Happy!

Things here are moving right along. The toe is healing and if you were to listen to Meelie, it's all better. "So can I go jump on the trampoline now?" This kid is testing my limits. She knows just what buttons to push and by the time she's through, the fuses are all blown. I'm having a hard time making her realize that the more careful she is with the foot, the quicker she will heal. Of course, this theory is blown right out of the water because she seems to be one of the lucky ones that heals really fast. Lord love a duck.

Besides the fracture of the big toe, and the fact that I'm NOT letting Meelie do anything (because I live to make my daughter's life miserable, doncha know?), Chickie got some awesome news last night. She found out she was picked for a solo for the big recital in spring. She's been dancing for five years. It's always been a goal for her to be in a solo, but the funny thing is, she's always been happy for the kids who have been picked in previous years. She just loves to dance that much. She came running in last night after dance practice and was screaming at the top of her lungs. I thought perhaps that Hillary Clinton was ahead in the polls, or her best friend died. I'm not sure which would be worse. She found out that she had been picked for a solo piece, BUT the teacher wouldn't tell her which dance it was for. They aren't going to announce the solos until February, so she should find out then. That, of course, didn't stop Meelie from giving her opinion. I'm thinking it doesn't really matter to Chickie. She's stoked.

We've got a busy weekend ahead of us. Saturday, Meelie has a Reading Bowl Competion, and the we have to head on out to her cheerleading competition on the island. At least this one is only an hour away. I'm interested to see how the coach is going to integrate a child with a designer shoe into the competition. I'm hoping to get some better pictures of this one.

That's about it for now. I'm just focusing on making it through the weekend. How about you?
