PROJECT 365 PICTURE OF THE DAY 2/28/11

Happy Monday morning and last day of February! I love to make lists and crossing things off as they are done is the best! This is the list I started for this week (along with more sticky notes with "to do" items also. I would love to accomplish all that is listed (plus more that I will be adding to the back) while enjoying this beautiful weather we are supposed to have. Bring on springtime.

Oh, these two dogs love to go out with Todd on weekends. When Todd heads out to the garage, they will stand at the door. Mocha will hardly move a muscle and listen intently to see if he is coming back up the stairs to take them out for a ride. Well, these dogs are going to be pretty lucky because we just got them their own "staircase" to help them get into the new truck. I love this photo of both these dogs...Mocha is taking charge and Cocoa is right alongside her best friend. These dogs are amazingly special.

Happy Birthday to Granny...the boys and Todd went over this morning to move her office upstairs and bedroom downstairs. They then celebrated her birthday with pizza and cake. I know she will be glad to have her office easier to get to and be able to have natural light coming in. I truly hope this is a good year for her and she finds happiness and peace.

I watched you as you worked on your Architectural drafting assignment and was amazed. You knew exactly what you were doing and you did it well. I don't know what you will ultimately do Nick, but I do know that you will be capable doing whatever it is...architecture? engineering? something totally different? It will be fun to see but what I do know is that you should be creative, never stop doing what you like to do and always give your best...when you do that, you will always be a success.

Zach and Jack(ie) Robinson...he did a great job with Todd on this marionette and is doing an oral report tomorrow along with all the other assignments for this project. Well done, Zachy. I will have to find Chris' Martin Luther King photos from 2 years ago. I love how the boys both worked so hard when they did this project and had amazing creative puppets. That is my kind of learning :)

Love this photo of Zach and his good friend Noah in PE. I went in to their PE class today to take yearbook photos and there he was...right inside the door. We had a rough morning together so I was glad to see him and kinda work things out. I can hardly believe he is in 6th grade and this is the last year in elementary school. I still remember the days we hung out together all day, and then he went to preschool and then kindergarten...before he went to pm kindie, we would oftentimes share a Cobb salad from Safeway. How I miss those days, but I am so glad that he (and his brothers) can be in school like they are and do so well. I will always treasure our times together and appreciate each moment with each of them. I love to see him having fun with his friends and that super goofy smile on his face...boy I love you, Zachy D!

It has to be said...I am a dancer wanna be (along with a Gleek wannabe)...I never really had played the Wii until I got the first "Just Dance" as a present for myself for Mother's Day. I then got Just Dance 2 and like it because it gives me weekly challenges. It is no easy workout, let me tell ya, but it's fun and makes me want to keep going to get that higher score. Now, I'm thinking I may like the "Michael Jackson Experience"...while I won't be the Queen of Pop or ever have his dancing skills, I can still pretend in the privacy of my own house. My best scores are usually on Katy Perry songs, 80's favorites and Disco...whata combo...not so good on the hip hop but I'm determined to keep trying.
