3/27: On Easter, Nicki, the fashion princess, had to wear multiple outfits

3/21: I found out that PCLE is going to bought out be AVID.  After much discussion, stress, and possible relapse of being sick, I find I have laryngitis.  Nicki wants to know why my voice is funny.  Trying to explain was a lost cause.  She finally accepted that like Arial, the little mermaid, someone stole my voice. 
March 19: Went to visit M.E. up in Washington

Flying back on Alaska, Nicki saw a guy w/long hair in a pony tail as we were trying to board. Here's the dialog:

N: Mommy, that man has long hair and a pony tail, why?

R: Some girls have long hair and some have short, right?

N: Yeah

R: Well, some boys have long hair and some have short

N: but he looks like a girl with long hair

Everyone around us was laughing. The guy in front of us turned and said it's too bad I didn't get that on video to show her 20 years from now when she brings home a long hair boyfriend.

Another guy behind us was Asian. People asked him how old she was. He immediately answered "I'm not with them..."

March 21: last day of basketball.  The kids played a rally game.  Most had their arms up in the air and moved in a bird pack.

Back to home improvement:  I moved 2000 lbs of rock in one day to finish off the front side area.  I've also been climbing around on the roof trying to isolate a small leak.  

Feb: I found out that Nickol can move across the monkey bars without any help.  She still needs help getting down since it's a 6' drop.  Yikes!

I'm strategically exposing her to musicals and shows so I'll have someone to go to the shows with.  We saw Seussical a second time.  She loved it again.  This time even more since she has memorized all the songs (I bought the cd after the first show).
