CHASING BOYS

Let the catfights begin! As we all know how much of a tomboy Mimi is.....well the boys seemed to like it too. They really like to play with her because she plays and played like a boy. Back in the day, her other friends were very princessy and they did not like boys and the boys did not care to play with them either. I was told by one mom that her son prefered to play with Mimi because she was more fun.

It seems as though that now all of the kids are in first grade, the girls have decided that boys are not so yucky. Mimi tells me that "If Erin and Halliwell want to get to Ryan, there are going to have to go through me first!" I asked "Why is that?" To which the girl answers "Because I'm tough!" Needless to say we had a long, long discussion on playing well with others especially her girlfriends. I also think that maybe she is feeling a tinge of jealousy since her girlfriends are now starting to notice the boys.

BUSTED

Upon arriving at gymnastic practice this afternoon, Coach Allison
informed me that Mimi is off probation and officially on the team
provided that we want her on the team and I fill out the necessary
forms.

Coach Allison then went on to explain the disciplinary actions that
will be taken should a team member misbehaves. I then asked how Mimi
was doing and Allison said that she was doing fine, only a couple of
times when she started to act like a baby
was she told that if she did not knock it off she would be put into
time out. Mimi who was in earshot gave us a dirty but embarassed look
says "I heard that!"

HALLOWEEN

Yep, I'm guilty as charged. I raided Mimi's Halloween candy jar. I'm
very fortunate that Mimi does not like chocolate much except for s
little hot cocoa.

PAC ISLAND GRILL

About two weeks ago I met a lovely lady who is from Hawaii originally
and we really hit it off. Her name is Eileen and she lives with her
family on the other sideof the highway from us.

We made plans for lunch yesterday where she told me about a really
good Hawaiian place and it was. Mmm, mmm, mmm, yu-ummy. I really liked
the Hawaiian ice tea also.

Turns out that Eileen knows my other friend/neighbor Elizabeth who's
son Adam was in Mimi's gymnastic class this past year. I tell you,
small town.
