Valentine's Day, a devotional, a party, the ACT, the dentist and a basketball game.

Today started when we left the house at 7:30 am. We didn't get home until 8:15 p.m. I was on carpool both ways to school today. I had Kenzie's devotional in the morning and Maylin's party in the afternoon. Since we live so far away, I just decided to stay rather than drive for 25 minutes each way only to be home about 20 minutes.

Kenzie's 11th grade did a devotional today for Veterans. Kenzie had a solo. However, at the last minute the teacher threw in another girl, but the girl didn't sing loud, so all I could hear was Kenzie anyway! She did great and looked pretty too. Her voice was awesome.




Then I brought in all the supplies for Maylin's party. After that, I left and took my self to lunch for Valentine's Day. I was the ONLY person in the restaurant that was alone. Oh well. I splurged and had cheese on my sandwich and I got a macaroon! That is a huge deal for me since I have given up cheese and sweets. It was delicious. I had someone come up to me and ask me if I was alone and if they could have the extra chair at my table.....that was totally a Fraiser or Friends moment.


Maylin's party was great. I did a cake walk game and they had yummy food. Other moms did a Bingo game, a bean bag toss, and a card making station. Right before the party started a little boy in Maylin's class puked. Poor kid. I felt bad for the boy whose shoe he threw up on. While the teacher cleaned up the boy and shoe, the janitor cleaned the floor and I washed all the kids hands and disinfected all the desks and anything that kid had touched. We will see if the whole first grade escapes the stomach flu or not.
Maylin loved the strawberries, but when she ate one hers was very sour. I love the look on her face in the second photo.




After that, Maylin and I loaded up for carpool. Alex stayed to work with his math teacher.....he got a 56% on his last math test and to stay for his basketball game. Kenzie had to take part of her ACT test. She has an accommodation so she gets extra time and days to take the test. Maylin and I took the carpool and dropped off the other kids at our local park and ride where Jay met us to take them home, while I jetted to the dentist with Maylin.

PEOPLE!!!! SHE HAS TWO MORE SHARKS TEETH! This poor girl has never lost a tooth on her own. She has had 3 pulled and the two today would be # 4 and 5. However, the dentist, after much talking and pleading could not get her to open her mouth or stop crying. So, we go back in two weeks this time armed with Valium. Poor girl. I don't blame her after having teeth pulled and 4 root canals.

We then hurried home, grabbed a change of clothes and headed back to the school to watch Alex's game. He played so well!!! He had 6 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. One of his steals, he ran the ball all the way down the court and made a lay-up. It was awesome. Alex is number 22.







On the way home, the kids were hungry so we stopped at In and Out Burger. Jay and I ate diet food at home. The kids now are frantically trying to make me Valentine Cards.....cute. Alex took a rose out of the bouquet Jay got me and tried to pass it off as one he got for me. He is a character.

Its 9:21.....I'm pooped and Alex has to be at the orthodontist by 7 a.m. Night everyone.

Did I just hear that?

Today I was at W*lM*rt and I had the WEIRDEST experience. I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it. I was at the self check out and the worker that handles those came over to Nini and put her hands on Nini's cheeks and literally put her nose against Nini's nose. Okay....don't know you, plus it is serious cold and flu season. I pulled the cart back quickly. The lady was talking to Nini and asking her how old she was and telling her how cute she is (she is that). Then she said to me, "where did you get her from?" That question threw me. I have been asked where she is from, what nationality she is, but never, "where did you get her from?" I said China, but was thinking, "does she think I got her from a store or something?" This was just the beginning of what was the MOST outrageous conversation I have ever been apart of. She asked me her name. I told her and she said, "Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that name."...

Maylin's room

Here is an update on painting. The doors continue to be a nightmare. We don''t have doors on the girls bathroom and no doorknobs on any of the other doors. Hopefully next week. I love everything else. Many of you asked about the glaze in the kitchen. It is an oil based glaze that comes in black, white, brown. You roll it on with a small roller and then take it off with a rag, by blotting it. You can make it darker or lighter depending on how much you put on and how much you take off. Here are pictures of Maylin's room. I was scared to make a change with 2 colors, but I think I like it. I don't know if you can tell but on the pink paint it is a wash (first white swirly, then pink) with light white flowers like the top pink ones. I picked words to go around her room that may inspire her. The Chinese translation is underneath. Of course, we used Meng, that was her first name...Meng ni and they called her Nini. The words are in vinyl and the flowers were painted using a pa...

Happily ever after

NieNie Dialogues: April 15, 2019 Christian is the most important person in Stephanie's life. She made this post about him. She wrote about how much she loved him and he loved her. Every year she dedicates a song to him as they enter another year as husband and wife. She said, "Everyday I pray to God, thanking him for Christian. I thank God that he is my husband, my protector, and greatest defender. I thank God that Christian loves and respects me.......And I thank God that I will be with Christian forever and even to infinity and beyond." I am not married, but I related to this post because I love my dad. He is my protector and my provider. He really takes care of our family. He is so great. I can tell my mom loves him too. Even though it embarrasses me, I love to watch my parents hug and kiss. I am glad we are sealed together. After reading this post, I decided I needed to write in my journal characteristics I want in a husband. These are the things I wrote: Must l...
