Girls day at the Ballet

Yesterday shara and I went to the boston ballet to see the elo experience. It was really interesting and we had a very nice time together. There were quite a few younger kids there which is very nice to see. Earlier in the day I asked shara if she wanted to make another chore chart. She had been wanting an updated one, so i still had the template and we just added a couple of things like hang up clothes and put out vitamins. One thing she wanted to leave on the list was the daily"listen" task. We originally had it there to try and bribe shara into doing what we asked her to, with out all the fussing. It never really worked, but we'll be happy to try again. Shes very excited to do everything and listen. She said if she gets all the listening and other things circled off, she can get dinner with a movie, and she wants sushi.
One thing she didn't listen to new about yesterday was to stop playing with her wiggly tooth. Unlike alan our myself, shes trying to pull it out, yuck. She hasn't gotten it yet!

Sick, again?

Yesterday she woke up about 5 am not being able to sit up - her stomach hurt, so I thought it was her abs, since we were hoola hooping saturday. I gave her some motrin.  Later in the afternoon she had a headache, so gave her Tylenol, and all the time I was masking a fever. Didn't find out until bedtime I was masking a fever - 102. Today it's down to 99.6 and she's still headachy, but seems happy. We may do a craft project later.

Shara finds the cache

Fun caching

Shara and I had fun today hunting down a geocache in Borderland. We saw lots of people and I think shara felt we saw even more dogs. We remembered to bring our park passport and get the stamp, even if it is upside down. The cache was in the frisbee golf course and a good amount of the area was swampy. We had fun playing princess rescue through the woods and by the house (castle), until we got closer to the cache area and then it was all business. We had to go over some plank bridges and then finally found ourselves close to it. Before I knew it, shara was yelling, "i found it!" and jumped over the rocks to it. She had no idea how she got there because on the way back she needed help to get over to the path. She was able to move pretty quick when she was more concerned with her treasure than her footing. Sometimes it's better not to think too much, if you can manage it.

No Great Wall

Saturday we had a real treat. We met Aunt Jill, Liz, Samantha, and Jesus in Chinatown for Dim Sum. It was a lot of fun. Shara read her Junie B. Jones book all the way there. We got to Chau Chow City and went upstairs. The place wasn't very busy yet but immediately we had a bunch of food put in front of us. Shara wanted to sit next to Samantha, of course, and didn't want to be anywhere near mommy. She really liked the food too and wants to go back. I asked her later what she liked most about it to want to go back, thinking she'd say family, but she actually said the food. Not that she didn't love spending time with family, but she definitely separated the two. While we walked around a bit, Shara kept mentioning the Great Wall of China. We told her it was far away, in China. Just tonight she mentioned it again and said she really thought we were going to see it that day. At least we got to see the cool gate.

On the way home, we stopped by the AAA travel show. After a piece of candy, Shara was much happier and decided looking at possible vacations wasn't so bad. So we got the Disney cruise and adventure brochures and also picked up a bunch of other pamphlets. Not sure what we'll do. We have our trip to CA to think about first, but a cruise is very appealing. And so is New Orleans, and the national parks...
