It's been almost a month. Crazy. I seriously need to catch up on my project 365 blogging so I can add it to my written journal later. What have I been up to?

*Georgia was in musical theatre camp during the summer. They did the 101 Dalmatians musical. She was one of the Narrators and one of the other dogs (boxer). She had to memorize lines, learn lots of songs, make her costume and then put on 2 performances to a live audience. So exciting! She now has caught the acting "bug" and wants to do the next play - The Wizard of Oz.

*I attended an Early Childhood Conference for my upcoming job. So exciting to get back to work. I get to feel smart again!

*Irelyn had a beauty shop birthday party with her friends. A friend came over to do "fancy" hair, paint nails, put on make-up, etc... the kids all got to decorate mirrors, make an edible necklace and take home nail polish and lip balm. So fun!
