Dance!

Noey will be starting dance class in just a few weeks! She will be taking creative movement and tiny tappers!!! We went to an open house today and met her teacher, Miss Pamela Ann! She is a star here in Vegas and is originally from Akron! The best picture my kid has taken in months is of course with a stranger!

Miss Pamela did some twirls with Noey and had her jump over spots on the floor. We are still working on jumping! We went right out and got an outfit, tights, and SHOES!

Modeling her new outfit!

Noey is in the 18 month to 3 year group. We have two shows a year, one at Christmas and one in the spring. Her classes are 45 minutes long on Thursday afternoons. Wish us luck! This is gonna be crazy!

New Things

It has been an expensive summer! We got the security bars and screens for the entire downstairs, our microwave kicked the bucket (again), we got a new security door for the front, the AC upstairs died, the Jeep AC went, and the van AC is most likely in need of a new compressor. I'm going to start offering my eggs and plasma as payment for services. Ugh! But here is our new beautiful front door. I talked Dave into doing something different then all the other security doors around. Nothing makes homes unique around here so I thought we should do something fun. Plus, I like how the cactus looks like a middle finger to the neighbors. :)

And our new microwave. Something was obviously seriously wrong with the model we had for it to go twice in it's 8 year lifetime. It was just fixed 6 months or so ago and the part cost as much as a new microwave! So this time I said we should just get a new one and went with stainless since that is what we want everything to be...eventually. I am not loving the finger prints. Didn't even think about that!!!

Got Crayons?

Do you think she has enough?

Water Play

The museum also had a big water area for the kids to mess around in. Love how they look like Gorton's Fishermen!

Aunt Em's Farm

The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh was having a special Wizard of Oz exhibit while we were there so we had to check it out! Noey was a regular old farmer!

Matching Shoes

Girlfriend is gonna put me in the poor house with her love of expensive shoes and the fact that her feet are growing dang fast! Look, they are half the size of mine!!! We have blasted through two sizes this summer. I got a new pair for work and they match Noey's perfectly! I was going to save these for her birthday but I believe she will need them sooner!

While at Pediped I checked out the clearance section and found some new bling for Noey. She loves them! And the best part? My frequent buyer card had me at 8 shoes. The lady said I could get these as my 9th pair at clearance price and she would give me the more expensive and new tennis shoes above as my 10th free pair! Wa hoo! Love Pediped! :)

You can probably tell that not much is going on around here since I'm blogging about shoes. My new allergy meds have been kicking my butt and I've been exhausted. Like sleeping til almost noon exhausted! So I stopped taking them and maybe during this last week and a half of break I can get back to getting things done! While I was out shopping with my friend Sally she talked me into getting these gems to make Davey's day! They were marked down deeply so I thought about it and went back and got them. I mean, I don't know too many hookers willing to pay $115 for a pair of shoes!! I snatched up the good deal before our local street walkers found them! Clarification: $115 was the original price. Absolutely no way I would spend that!

Home Security

Recent events with our neighbors prompted us to tighten up our home security. Bars and solar screens went on the downstairs windows and bars went on the sliding door. More updates to come!
