Dance party

It has been a tough few days.  Jason has been out of town, Lexi was sick, and well, I am just tired.  Lexi has also been throwing fits lately.  She gets so frustrated and screams and points (wanting me to read her mind and then give her what she wants).  Needless to say, I do not do as she wishes and I hear a ton of screaming before my wish is granted... hearing her sweet voice.  Today, we had another rough battle, but right after it ended her favorite song came on and she asked, "Mom, will you dance with me please?"  I was still disappointed with her previous behavior, but since she asked with her sweet voice and with manners, I agreed.  We danced to about 7 songs.  We laughed.  We twirled.  We loved it.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
