Ainsley the Author

Ainsley's class spends time each day doing a Reading Workshop and a Writing Workshop. She has written numerous stories (and illustrated them too) and they are always hilarious. Every few months her teacher will send home a pile of them.  I captured one here for your enjoyment. 



[One day I lost my first tooth]

[Fortunately, I was so happy]

[Unfortunately, I dropped it and Blue got ahold of it]

[Fortunately, my mom got his toy and it made him drop my tooth]

[Unfortunately, I put my tooth down to go eat dinner and my brother took it from me]

 [Fortunately, my brother gave it back and the tooth fairy came and took my tooth.]


Note: This is not based on a true story. Although Blue and Parker do often take things from her.

Momming with Anxiety: Day 44

I woke up this morning and a feeling of helplessness washed over me. All the unknowns are creeping up and threatening to smother me. It's a wave that comes over and over again. I get to the top of one and then another hits. I have always been a planner. Sometimes I worry. But I very rarely have anxiety. I try to focus on what I know and what I have control over.  What DO I know? I know what will happen for the next 4 weeks.

But if I wait to see if the June camps are cancelled then all the July and August camps mi...

Ainsley's 11th Birthday in Lockdown

My baby girl is ELEVEN today!!! She couldn't have a big party, but she sure had a special day.  We surprised her with yard signs ( cardmyyard.com ). We released the butterflies into the garden. They hung out on the kids' hands for a while before flying off.  Her gift from us was a purple hoverboard - she is so excited! Her neighborhood friends came and secretly decorated the garage for a little party. She was so surprised and loved sharing cake with her best friends. THEN to add even more excitement, two of her best friends from school came for a 'drive-by' socially-distant celebration. She was thrilled to see them drive up - she hasn't seen them in person since March 6, before Spring Break!! Both sets of grandparents gave her a new bike (she will get to go shopping and pick it out herself next week). She has grown so much and is in desperate need of a new bike!  My beautiful 11 year old... how time flies!
