Supah Stahr!

Dropping off the girls in the morning is one of my favorite things to do. It is such a short drive (that could/should and sometimes is walked), so the exchange is equivalent. I love to hear their anticipation rattle off like a spastic bubble machine. Little and big, their insecurities, ideas and schemes float through the car...then POP! on to something else.

I'm not sure if it was the radio or Ashtyn, but Super Star was one of the short lived topics this morning.

Carefully waiting for Ashtyn to step out, Alayna, in a way only Alayna can looks at me and says matter of factly, "You know, (insert "valley girl" huff) I am like a SUPAH STAHR. Everyone knows me and wants to talk to me because I have such a cool backpack." By this time Alayna is out of the car and getting ready to shut the door. "I just tell them all that my aunt Josie made it for me" and paraded off to be the super star of viewmont elementary.....

Thank you Josie for making her the SUPAH STAHR!
And I really need to clean the windshield of my car, it's not the camera...

Ashtyn's Creative Valentines Box

This year only Ashtyn needed to bring a box for Valentines,(phew!) since Alayna made her box in class. She came home the day before she had to have it turned in with the fabulous idea of a "Redbox" valentine box. I gave her a shoe box and paper bag, she did the rest. When we looked at some of the pictures of the redbox kiosks we noticed they had a side full of movies. Since I had just put her class picture away the thought came to have a movie title for each kid in her class. She took the picture and cut each of her friends out and this is what she came up with.... So cute! Good Job Sister!
