You gotta check this out! I think Audrie's knee bops are my favorite...! :)<br />

</div>
I have to share a few things that have made my life a little easier (and more girly... if that was needed??) lately.<br />
<br />
Beware, these secrets are not cheap. :)<br />
<br />
Ok, so in the Fayetteville mall there is a kiosk by the food court (I can't remember the name!) that is selling curling wands (and straighteners) that are truly amazing! I'm not even kidding.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpVlOwZe7Eot2S3b9fb1QhUHeWZXLqN0m5Cb1Shr6qvISr7VyZKIlZHUiFlFyJyK4BsMU5ZFfHDgs3ind1MA6b7Q0XOD6Y80VP5edDLJ0CvZGyqq5_56jJ1CZRoatGC7C65H5lXQ/s1600/shopping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpVlOwZe7Eot2S3b9fb1QhUHeWZXLqN0m5Cb1Shr6qvISr7VyZKIlZHUiFlFyJyK4BsMU5ZFfHDgs3ind1MA6b7Q0XOD6Y80VP5edDLJ0CvZGyqq5_56jJ1CZRoatGC7C65H5lXQ/s1600/shopping.jpg" height="289" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
On the rare occasion that I wake up on time, I will have Audrie and Annie sit on the couch and watch a highly educational video about how to be perfect children... or Spongebob.<br />
<br />
Then I take a handful of their hair, wrap it around the hot wand, count to ten, let go (repeat til all strands are done... usually takes me 5-10 minutes). And, I am telling you, their hair looks awesomely curly.<br />
<br />
The BEST part is... it lasts for DAYS. The first day, it's springy curls, they sleep on it, wake up the next day to soft curls, and the third day (if they are not too stinky and I have to wash their hair) it will be wavy curls. <br />
<br />
These curls last through recess, PE, trampoline, etc, for days. Good stuff!<br />
<br />
(FYI- also the same effect on my hair)<br />
<br />
Ok, the catch is. They are not cheap. But I will say that this kiosk will majorly barter the price down. Maybe it's my honed Chinatown shopping skills, but I talked them way down on the price. Let me know if you need me to go with you! :)<br />
<br />
Also, this kiosk sells a Moraccan hair oil that I am in love with. I've started using it on the girls hair after bathtime and it has SERIOUSLY cut down on tangles in the morning.<br />
<br />
Which has cut down on tears and my time spent screaming "DO YOU WANT ME TO USE THIS HAIRBRUSH ON YOUR BACKSIDE??!". <br />

Ok, here is another super cool invention that I am LOVING. Have you heard of Jamberry nails? Um, totally awesome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically they are nail stickers that you heat wrap to your nails. (Reminds me of the shrink wraps you put on your Easter Eggs!!?).</div>

<br />
I friend of mine at school had some of these and I was admiring them. I bought some and they are so awesome. You stick them to your nail, cut them down and file them to your nail shape, blast them with a hairdryer and they are stuck for good!<br />

They work so good for me because I play the piano all day (banging the correct note at off-pitch jr high tenors all day will do a number on your nails!). But these things last for about two weeks on me- which is amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And on my toenails they've lasted so long that I finally just took them off so I could try a new design. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course they are great for Audrie and Annie (Jamberry sells a Junior size in the strips). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Pretty much every morning when I'm getting Annie dressed for pre-school, she complains that her dress isn't "big enough" or not "spinny enough". Oh my.<br />
<br />
So I saw a sale at Old Navy on their spring dresses and I tried to find a few that were big and spinny for this little diva. :)<br />

Last weekend, we decided to let Audrie take the training wheels off her bike and see how it went. At first, she was super frustrated (because somehow she has in her personality that she has to be good at everything and is impatient when things are not going perfect immediately... not sure where she gets that..? ha) But she didn't give up.<br />
<br />
The second day of trying- she had that magic moment where you could honestly see the light bulb go off and she "got it". Now there is no stopping her. She has a few serious bruises for her efforts, but her proud smile is pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
I did get teary eyed watching her learn this... such a milestone in life.<br />
<br />

Audrie's reading has really taken off, too. I am a little sad because before she learned to read she used to sing herself to sleep at night and now she reads. I mean, that's all fine and stuff (ha!), but I miss hearing her made up songs from her bedroom. <br />

A couple of weeks ago, Jamie and I were driving downtown Fayetteville and went down the street behind the Fayetteville library. I saw a really fun graffiti wall back there and knew it would make a fun photo shoot. <br />
<br />
So today I took the girls down there to try the spot out and it did not disappoint. Such a colorful bright place to capture some Audrie and Annie energy!<br />

Annie had trouble with this photo shoot because the graffiti wall was close to the road and I had to step in the road a few times to get a pic. Annie DID NOT like that. She is very sensitive and was overly concerned about my safety. Sweet girl!<br />

When we took the girls to sit on Santa's knee at the mall, they both told him they wanted another kitty for Christmas...?!<br />
We had been thinking of getting a friend for our first cat that we got in July, so we decided to go for it.<br />
We used the same rescue shelter as before and the wonderful lady helped match us with THE sweetest little white kitten (part Siamese and Snowshoe).<br />
We named him Olaf (from the movie, Frozen, and because he's white like a snowman).<br />
And we love him.<br />

DID YOU SEE OUTSIDE?!!! LET'S GO PLAY IN THE SNOW!!!!!!". I tried to roll over and give her some excuses, but then Jamie reminded me of that song from the new Disney movie, Frozen, where the adorable little girl sings "do you wanna build a snowman?" and no one will play with her. Heartbreaking little song.<br />
<br />
So I got up and spent 15 minutes getting us all bundled up. Jamie left for work. So it was just me and the girls outside at 7:45am. We managed to stay outside for about 20 minutes before their faces were freezing enough to come back in. While we were out there I did try to build a snowman, but the snow is really powdery so I didn't have the patience for it. I told them we would try again when daddy gets home.<br />

We actually went back outside again about an hour later when we saw our neighbors out there. But I'm hoping now we can stay inside, build a fire, and cuddle until Jamie gets home and he can take over the snow playtime!Rachel Cornetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09944829012865726551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36810008.post-5181411126119679422013-11-26T22:02:00.002-06:002013-11-26T22:02:45.713-06:00I made something!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ok, I'm pretty excited about this...! A year or so ago, my friend Juli Goss taught me how to knit. I was instantly hooked (ha... no pun intended) and I started out making a few scarves. Then Jamie decided I should make him a knit hat. Um, right? That sounded intense, but I gave it a go. I started it about 10 months ago and the pattern called for the tiniest knitting needles (and we moved cross-country) so it took me a LONG time. And every time I would start working on this hat I just KNEW it was going to turn out like a mess that no one could ever wear. <br />
So the other night I started in on this hat again and finished it... and OH MY GOODNESS, it ACTUALLY turned out resembling a hat.<br />
(It looks cuter on Jamie, but he's not as into selfies as I am... ha!)<br />

This weekend Audrie announced that we should go swimming. Um, ok. I've been wanting to join Fayetteville Athletic Club anyways (they have a great deal for teachers!) and I knew they had an indoor heated swimming pool. Anyways, Saturday morning the girls and I headed over there (1/2 a mile from our house- yay!) got signed up and into the pool. Had a blast.</div>

When it was time to go I took the girls into the locker room to towel off. A woman walked in and set her caddy of shower supplies next to a shower and then went off to the other side to the restroom. I was toweling off Audrie's hair and I turned around to discover Annie standing next to the shower supplies, with a huge smile on her face, scrubbing her teeth with the woman's toothbrush!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I about died.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I looked around. No one in sight. I grabbed Annie (and Audrie), put the toothbrush back in the shower caddy (oh yes I did) and ran off with girls under my arms.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh my goodness.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Poor Annie kept asking all the way to the car "What, mommy? What did I do??".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had to have a little chat about why that was so not ok. And Annie is so tender-hearted of course she burst into tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sweet Annie.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In hindsight, I suppose I should have found the woman and explained what happened, had Annie apologize.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Or at least I could have thrown the toothbrush in the trash on my way out! Let the poor woman think she had lost it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But, nope. I just ran.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mother of Year, that's me! </div>

Ok, I have to admit I was really looking forward to this Halloween because the girls had both picked costumes that involved me turning them into brunettes (Princess Jasmine and Snow White) and I was very much hoping that for only a moment they would somehow look like ME with their brown hair. They did look adorable, but.... still little Jamie Cornetts (with brown hair)!. :) </div>

We had SOOOOO much fun trick-or-treating. Really, the girls are the perfect age for it and were in a FULL RUN the entire night from house to house. It was super cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I've been meaning to do a whole separate blog on how PROUD I am of Audrie's progress in Kindergarten this year. But since I can't seem to make that post happen, I'm just going to throw that in now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Audrie has been ROCKIN' kindergarten like I never imagined she would. She got chosen from her class to be an Ambassador for her school, she consistently gets on "green smiley" every day (ok, she has had her "color changed" a couple of times, but that's good for her). She is a natural at making friends and even told me that the school cafeteria "cooks good food"! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'm not pretending that she is perfect. God knows that's far from the truth, but I am very thrilled with how much Audrie has been learning these past few months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her reading has taken off. She sounds out new words and sentences and can read through easy books now. The latest fun thing that she is doing is that she has made the connection of how to WRITE sentences by sounding out what she wants to spell. Of course it's a little rough with spelling and phonics she is sounding out, but I think it's pretty darn amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tonight she wrote these sentences on her own and came to show me. (it says "A leaf fell on me. I picked it up. I gave it to my daddy.") I love seeing her mind in action. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then there is sweet wonderful Annie. Who is content pretending the mop is her ninja weapon...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She tells Jamie and I about 50 times a day how much she loves us.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've had a heart breaking night tonight because I learned of a friend and former co-teacher whose wonderful16 year old son died suddenly of a blood clot today.<br />
One of those things where you say WHY GOD?! That's just not fair at all. But then I have to think about all the peace and love her son is engulfed in Heaven right now.<br />

Our Saturday started with a birthday party for my friend Melanie's little boy who turned one. I didn't get a pic, but she threw the most fabulous Halloween/Little Boy party! Mel always has THE cutest decorations and adorable birthday cakes. It was great to see friends there and let the kids run wild together for a bit.</div>

I'm really trying to stay more caught up with the blogging! I know it will be fun someday to look back through the books I put together of my blog posts and "remember when". :)Rachel Cornetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09944829012865726551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36810008.post-82528619715150988102013-10-23T20:28:00.000-05:002013-10-23T20:28:00.024-05:00photography galore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />As I mentioned, I've been doing several fun photo shoots lately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Photography is such a bittersweet thing for me right now, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking photos and each photo shoot is so unique it's fun seeing how it will all play out. But then when I get home and have hundreds of photos to sort through and edit, I'm like "ooooh, right. Now I have a ton of work to do in my SPARE time". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But once I get my act together and finish the photos- my favorite part of the whole process is giving someone their photos. Bringing that happiness to someone is really super fun!</div>

Ok first up, I did a newborn shoot for the same family whose maternity pics I did a month ago. This baby was truly the most laid back baby I've ever seen. She put up with me for way longer than any newborn should have to. I even stuck wings on her back and she was cool with it!</div>

Up next is my friend and former coworker, Shannon, had a new baby girl and asked me to snap a couple pics of her newborn. Again, another chill baby. Maybe I'm only remembering my own daughters and how they came out of the womb with their list of demands, but this little baby girl was another laid back baby. <br />

A few months ago a friend of a friend asked me to do a family photo shoot INSIDE Razorback Stadium. (They had a cousin who worked for the Athletic Dept and he let us in.) Honestly I was a little intimidated, but decided to go for it. It was lots of fun and I'm glad I said yes. <br />

Do you want to hear the excuses for me not blogging or should we just skip that and I'll just make up some story about how I've been practicing for if I'm ever in the Witness Protection Program?!<br />
<br />
Seriously, I almost forgot how to log into Blogger to even do this post. Then I checked my stats and saw that two people are still reading my blog, so I thought I better post something for their sake.<br />
<br />
So here you go! (These pics are totally out of order, but it's all I can muster up the energy for right now.)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Annie only asks because she is crazy addicted to her blankies on her bed. She calls them her "wockies" and sometimes Jamie and I will walk past her room and see Annie knelt next to her bed taking a "hit" from her wockies. She buries her face in them for a minute and then goes back to playing. So creepy and cute.</div>

When we ARE home one of our favorite chill-out things to do is sit in the driveway, talk to neighbors, and let the girls play (bikes, scooters, dress-up, etc). Audrie came out dressed like this and I loved her mash-up of Teenage Mutant Princess...?!</div>

I didn't get any actual pictures of them skating because I was too buried in flailing arms and tears of toddler determination (Audrie is a bit of perfectionist... not sure where she gets that from... ha). But they both did great and really had fun.</div>

Sure, about 99% of my ideas come from Pinterest, but the other day I actually came up with an idea that was all on my own. So proud of myself. ha!<br />
<br />
Audrie has 25 sight words she has to learn each month in Kindergarten and we've been working on this latest batch for a few days. (Flash cards in the car, homework sheets, etc). But the other day I got this idea to make her a huge square grid on the driveway with chalk of her newest 25 words and make a game of it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNSdHkY89prVHp-v9AN7HJbYpFhziWpy4YlPPZeNd-w60wtGg7f7vPM9QL2b0sbzIlaxiLpLdw4y48yBw86JJZnOKz2BeoAYnC7-w2vBESmWG4V6WIHC0t2hc93dUHLQfhFflzQ/s1600/sightwords2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnNSdHkY89prVHp-v9AN7HJbYpFhziWpy4YlPPZeNd-w60wtGg7f7vPM9QL2b0sbzIlaxiLpLdw4y48yBw86JJZnOKz2BeoAYnC7-w2vBESmWG4V6WIHC0t2hc93dUHLQfhFflzQ/s400/sightwords2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
First I would call out words and she had to see if she could leap from one word to the next. Uh, yeh, she loved that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iQXvbXBIysD4QJ5KdbAo3wqBCIxQH3tyKmewdbi61WN4wZK9vA6SD2QkxjYSw38Q1ES9aifPXbFeVUi9oECXd4WsvAXatYiDuTNEJojkQL41iy2VIo9gYMSPkaPjGCt7Wi9-Fg/s1600/sightwords3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iQXvbXBIysD4QJ5KdbAo3wqBCIxQH3tyKmewdbi61WN4wZK9vA6SD2QkxjYSw38Q1ES9aifPXbFeVUi9oECXd4WsvAXatYiDuTNEJojkQL41iy2VIo9gYMSPkaPjGCt7Wi9-Fg/s400/sightwords3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Then she danced around and sang until I called stop and whatever words she was on she had to say that word. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVUFv9BpANQ7AA2P5ugfAi_3rqq7dRNIhEMdzRSVxFxipPp0I7ViVNK1kW1BWaIFHK7sUfAdMbPpU26mFzsovcltHatY-FDWVYkvE1O4d1t_iTIQS8kbywWUZHNr3tsx5yjrYSw/s1600/sightwords4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVUFv9BpANQ7AA2P5ugfAi_3rqq7dRNIhEMdzRSVxFxipPp0I7ViVNK1kW1BWaIFHK7sUfAdMbPpU26mFzsovcltHatY-FDWVYkvE1O4d1t_iTIQS8kbywWUZHNr3tsx5yjrYSw/s400/sightwords4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Then she had to run in order through the grid and see how many she could say before she missed one.<br />

She is competitive like her mommy, so she did get a little miffed when she got stumped.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But her teacher also taught her how to do tally marks in score keeping, so Audrie had fun keeping score of all the correct words she got.<br />

The past 4 days have had some highs and lows and we haven't had a moment to spare. But I wanted to at least get on here and try to capture how that first day went down.<br />
<br />
So Audrie was OUT of her mind excited to start school.<br />

Annie was pretty pumped, too, but really didn't know what she was getting in to. (She is only used to going two hours twice a week, so she has had to adjust to a full day away from us.)<br />

And I was nervous but ready to meet my 8th and 9th graders!<br />

I really thought I was going to be able to keep my cool with dropping Audrie off that first day, but I wasn't prepared for how chaotic it was going to be at her school with ALL those parents and ALL the anxious kiddos coming in that first day. Audrie's school is great, but that first day was quite a doozy. There were honestly kids screaming and crying as their parents left them. So that threw me off. Audrie was as cool as ever. Ready to roll.<br />
<br />
I thought I had planned plenty of time to get her settled in her classroom, but there was so much confusion in the halls at her school that it took forever! So after about 30 minutes of waiting, I had to leave Audrie with her teacher and her class in the hall. Which was not what I had in mind and I started to cry. I said my goodbyes to Audrie and started to turn away before I started sobbing. Audrie called out "MOMMY...!". I turned, thinking she needed one more kiss or hug. But she yelled out "YOU HAVE MY LUNCH BOX!". ha! What a great mother I am- walking off with my kid's lunch the first day!! Glad Audrie was keeping it together.<br />
<br />
Jamie took Annie to school and said it went great! He texted me a pic of her in her classroom, so I was relieved to know that went smoothly.<br />

Because Audrie's morning took so long, I got to my school a little later than I had hoped, so I didn't have time to be anxious and my classes started coming in.<br />
<br />
Did I mention that I have 82 jr high boys in my 2nd period class?! Um, yeh.<br />

It's amazing. I've never done any bull riding, but I think the 55 minutes that class lasts is equivalent to 8 seconds on a bull.<br />
<br />
I teach 5 choir periods (with over 300 choir students) and have a really great schedule. <br />
<br />
I did have a wonderful first day (full of fast paced adrenaline).<br />
<br />
The drama occurred after school. <br />
<br />
The plan for Audrie was that she was going to ride a bus from her elementary over to my jr high. I can literally SEE Audrie's school across a field from my school. I was thinking it would take maybe 10 minutes at the most considering after school traffic.<br />
<br />
So after AN HOUR of nervous pacing...!!!!... her bus finally comes around the corner. There is no one on her bus, except I see one tiny little blond head peaking through a window.<br />
<br />
The bus driver opens the door and says to me "I sure hope you are Mommy, because we have one upset little girl here"!<br />
<br />
Audrie comes flying off the bus, sobbing, throws her backpack down, and wraps her arms around my neck. She sobs "I thought I would NEVER find you, mommy!". I started crying, too.<br />
<br />
The poor bus driver tried to explain that his route includes stopping at two other schools before dropping Audrie off, so she was the last stop. He said the route would get faster as the week went on. But I honestly didn't hear much because I was just holding a tearful Audrie in my arms. She couldn't even catch her breath she had been crying so hard. The main problem was that she didn't realize (nor did I!) that she would be on the bus that long and it freaked her out.<br />
<br />
I did get her calmed down and got to hear about the first day of Kindergarten and the day itself went great for her.<br />
<br />
We went and picked up Annie and her only complaint was "my teacher wouldn't let me take off my clothes for naptime"....! ha<br />
<br />
The rest of the week went MUCH better. We are starting to settle into our routines a bit.<br />
<br />

I can not even begin to describe to you how EXCITED Audrie is to start Kindergarten. It's going to be an awesome year for this girl (and her poor teacher, ha ha!).

I couldn't make this up if I tried:<div><br></div><div>This weekend I bought a couch for my classroom off Craigslist (good couch, little dusty from being in the girl's garage a few weeks) but the girl delivered it Sunday to my classroom. Only problem was I couldn't get into my room because the janitors were waxing the hallways. So I left the couch in the glass entryway/small enclosed lobby near my choir room.</div><div><br></div><div>I put a note on the couch that it was my couch and I would move it the next day when the halls were done.</div><div><br></div><div>Ok, so apparently, the night shift custodians were walking past and saw a KITTEN(?!) poke it's head out from under the couch..!</div><div><br></div><div>So the janitors opened the glass lobby doors and tried to call the kitty, but it was crazy and running wild.</div><div><br></div><div>So they got a box and somehow trapped the feral kitty in the box.</div><div><br></div><div>They took the box to the school's library (why there? I don't know?!) and called Animal Control.</div><div><br></div><div>They show up and open the door to the library and the crazed kitty darts off between their legs. THEY LOSE THE CAT IN THE SCHOOL.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep in my mind that my school is a brand new gorgeous construction. Huge multimillion dollar school. And now there is a poor wild little kitty on the loose!!!!</div><div><br></div><div>My principal had a big important meeting at school today with all the other principals and assistant principals and school board, etc- in the cafetorium (yes, that's a word) and he said he kept looking around in the middle of his speech expecting a crazed cat to streak through..!</div><div><br></div><div>Oh my goodness, I can't believe this. I'm amazed by the first impression I'm making on my staff and also going to lose sleep over this stranded kitty!</div><div><br></div><div>But If we find him, he's totally going to be the Choir Cat and live in my room all year!</div>Rachel Cornetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09944829012865726551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36810008.post-55746424600124109132013-08-05T15:23:00.001-05:002013-08-05T16:49:17.556-05:00bathroom makeover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saturday night about 6:30pm, he says... "why don't we remodel the bathroom now?".<br />
<br />
Um, sure.<br />
<br />
So we took the girls to Lowe's for an hour and a half (??) while we picked out the stuff... <br />
and here are the pics of our 24 hour bathroom makeover:<br />

We painted the walls grey, painted the vanity black with new knobs, put a new sink top on, and a new toilet. (It's crazy how easy painting the wood vanity was- I'm so glad we didn't try to rip it out and buy a new one.) I painted the mirror turquoise (of course) and got a new shower curtain.<br />

But I will say that when we first started and were dry scraping the popcorn ceiling stuff off... I really almost quit right there. It was THE BIGGEST MESS I've ever seen in my life. It was like someone took 5 bags of flour and shook them all over that small room. And then trying to reach over your head to scrape while you are looking straight up into the nasty debris was so terrible. We will definitely try it a different way next time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the ceiling does look great now! In a few months it should come out of my hair.</div>

Last weekend we got a cat! Her name is Marla (that's the name she had at the rescue shelter and the girls liked it). She is 8 months old. Marla is a Maine Coon mix and is THE sweetest kitty ever.<br />
<br />
The poor cat has been smothered with love since she's arrived. We've had to make the girl's give Marla some "time out" time because they just want to pet her all day.<br />

She is very cuddly and wants to snuggle all the time.<br />
<br />
Because she has Maine Coon breed, she has the fluffiest tail I've ever seen!<br />

Sadly, I used to be a pretty big cat-hater in the past, but something in my heart has changed and I was really excited about getting this kitty!</div>

I don't know if I wrote on here about how, a few months ago, when were talking to the girls about getting a new cat when we moved- Audrie said... "I want a kitty who believes in me"...!<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure Marla believes in us! :)<br />
