Fortune Cookies

Yesterday we got Chinese for dinner and of course a fortune cookie.  Madison's fortune was along the lines of your most desired wish will come true.   I remember the word desired because she asked what it meant.  I asked her, what do you wish for more than anything? She told me she wanted to move to purple at school.  The behavior chart at school is purple (over and above), green (doing what you should), and yellow and red are not good.  

We do encourage her to get to purple and talk about what she could do to get there.  Well, today Madison was the first in her class to move to purple!  So, funny.  She got into the mini van at car circle yelling at the top of her lungs "I GOT TO PURPLE TODAY!".  I am so proud of her.  I keep telling her to let her little light shine.  She was exceptional today during show and tell.  Which was bring something that was your favorite color, can you guess?  PURPLE.  She told us that she had to wait patiently because her turn was near the end.  That is why her teacher moved her up to purple because she was so good during show and tell.  

The cutest part of the day is after we got home she whispered to me "my fortune came true". Okay, I don't believe in fortune cookies or all that jazz but how cute is that? I completely forgot about the fortune cookie until she whispered to me.  Mark got her a happy meal for dinner because she shined today.  She loves school and has been a great kid the last three weeks so a little surprise seemed appropriate.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...
