SECRET AGENT

Move over Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels). Never fear, secret agent Mimi is here! She says that with the super agent eyeglasses and super agent spy glass stuck to her hip, she is here to rid the world of all evil and help solve mysteries. We can surely sleep well tonight.

OVERCOME

Just how much clothes can one kid have may I ask????? I am now in the process of doing what I dread, LAUNDRY! I am now just starting to get darn tired of our weather. One day it is freezing cold outside such as today with the wind and rain, other days it is hot as all get out. So therefore you can't put away the winter clothes but at the same time have to drag out the summer clothes. Meanwhile there is no place to put everything. EGADS!!!

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES

One never ever knows what Mimi will say next. On the way home from our buddhist meeting this morning, I made mention that I was going with Brandy to another mom's home for a get together. I also made mention that Mimi was going to stay home with her dad as Halliwell is doing the same with her dad John.

Mimi: Dad, can you handle a playdate????
Dad: Playdate with who?
Mimi: With anyone!

As it turns out, Mimi and Halliwell had a playdate together while the moms were out on a playdate of their own.

LASER LIGHT SHOW

The other day I purchased this small laser light in which Ollie could care less about but the two arch enemies Butch and Stanley goes nuts over.

IF THE SHOE FITS.......

A couple of months ago while shopping for shoes for the father/daughter ball, I discovered that Mimi had outgrown the velcro tennins shoes. Now it was time for her to learn how to tie her own shoe laces. Doggone it!!! While at the South Center Mall way back in March I bought this shoe for her to practice on. It is the same kind of shoe that I used in kindergarten many moons ago. I showed her how to do it and within a couple of days she had it down pat. "What a smart cookie she is!" my dad would say.

While at school the other day when Ollie decided to follow us there, Mimi held him in her arms while all of the other girls petted him (he was truly in kitty heaven then). I noticed Mimi's shoe was untied and made mention for her to tie them. Without skipping a beat she stuck her foot out in front of her girlfriends and said "tie it!!!" like she was the Queen of Sheba. As you may have guessed it, her friends put her in her place by saying "tie it yourself!" then proceeded to give her the "evil eye". I guess you could consider this more of life's lessons for six year olds. Fortunately they don't hold any grudges against each other either and continue to be best buddies.

SWINE FLU

So far so good. No child at Mimi's school has come down with this deadly virus however it has been reported that 3 elementary schools have been closed here in our area as precautionary measure. Zoe's big sis Alleyah recieved a letter from her teacher about this situation. We have yet to get a letter however we did receive a phone call from the school superintendent last night advising us of all the precautionary measures.

AT THE PARK

When we were through with Black Diamond Mimi wanted to stop by the neighborhood park. So we did since we still had some time to spare before school. Last year while visiting relatives in Virginia, her cousin Mari took her rock climbing. She still is pretty good at it as you can see in the picture.
