the skills of an almost three year old:
even when it's raining we head to the beach, it felt sooo good to wash off the humidity!:does she look like me? not really, but kinda.
does she look like her dad? um yes! 
this is how i pose to take a picture of the dress I just made, and wore to church:
but after unsolicited, unceasing advice from my stylist (chad) I pose like this:
rawrr! watch out!
the waist and my buttons (which I love--my gma found them).and kaiya's birthday is coming up so I tried to get her presents together before student teaching starts. I just finished up this dress, if you know my child, you know she LOVES a good, girly dress.
Thanks to Joann's I got a bajillion simplicity patterns for a dollar each! Actually thanks to my lovely gma, whom I miss dearly, who bought them all for me. I got a lifetime supply of super cute patterns now!
and I'm not even kidding when I say that we saved $348.13 that day at Joann's, it even said so on the reciept.
we also scored a big girl bike for her on craigslist for less than half of what we would have paid for it in the store! yess! It looks like this but purple ( she likes princesses OK!? don't judge me for indulging her). It also came with that little bag, a helmet and knee pads. The best part is that everything looks BRAND NEW!
and we got her Mad Bbout Madeline, which features each of the madeline books, in one big book. for 6 bucks from half.com, on amazon it's 25 bucks.I love myself a good deal!
i can't wait till her birthday to give them all to her!my carefree, fun-filled days are coming to an end next week, when I start school again. Kaiya is joining the ranks and headed to "preschool" (it's really daycare though). She is excited, I am nervous/excited . It will be great, I can feel it.
