What a Week!

Last week held a lot of "firsts" for the Diva house. First day of pre-school, first dance class, first day of Sunday school, and first time Momma Diva realized the "baby" days are gone.
Rebecca went to her pre-school on Monday and Wednesday and had a great time. She wakes up every morning asking if it is a "school" day. I kept having second thoughts about enrolling her, but now I am so happy I did. Her teacher, Miss Brenda, is sweet and enthusiastic about teaching. They have been doing crafts, playing outside, and today got to meet a sand crab. Rebecca has spoke of nothing else but "Justin's sand crab" since she got home from school today!

Rebecca began her ballet classes on Thursday, and she looks so cute in her ballet gear. When I tried it on her she was prancing around and pointing her toes..... we may have a natural on our hands!

Friday was our "day off". We had no school, no dance, nothing! Having such a busy schedule is making me appreciate the downtime.

Sunday started the CCD season and Rebecca had her first bible lesson at church. She has to sit in the church for the first 10 minutes and then goes back to class, which concerned me, since I am the cantor and can't really do much to "discipline" her if she ran around or spoke, etc. She did great and sat in the front row, about five feet from me, and was quiet and very well behaved. A couple friends of mine in the parish kept an eye on her, just in case!

So between Monday and Wednesday pre-school, Thursday dance, Wednesday choir, and Sunday church, we Diva's are keeping pretty busy! We still manage to find time for Target runs and the like!

It's been awhile...

Wow, 10 days, no posts... Easter season started off with a bang heard round the world... my birthday! This year totally rocked in the present department. I had many friends who dropped by with gifts, I really wasn't expecting anything!

DH did his b-day shopping for me at one of his favorite stores, Best Buy. I got Wii Fit, and am really trying to not take the message that I need to lose weight. (I mean, I do need to lose weight, but...)
Rebecca got me Wii "music" and Sarah got me "Twilight". Yes, I am a teenage girl at heart who totally digs the Cullen's and wants to bang Edward like a screen door in a tornado.

Oh, speaking of tornadoes, the weather people around here have been wetting their pants with excitement due to all the crappy weather we have had. Before moving to Tennessee I had no clue that this area became a tornado alley every April.

Easter weekend was great, I was busy with church for the majority. 3 masses, 1 Saturday, and 2 Sunday morning, plus decorating Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat nights. I am glad the decor we have up now will be up for a few weeks.

The girls loved their Easter baskets and egg hunting. They had a blast. We had our friends and neighbors, the Pacholski's over for Easter dinner (basically an excuse to eat Kara's delicious hashbrown casserole..lol) and then all the girls hunted eggs and played with bubbles.

All in all, a great 10 days!
