100 days of school....
Jasmine told me as we were walking out the door to go to school, "Oh, we are supposed to dress up as an "old lady" today for the 100th day of school." Thanks for the big notice Jazzy!! We threw on a hair net and bobby pins and a coat that is too big. It was hilarious. Then when about half of her class dressed up as elderly people, they found out that the "dress up" was only for K-1 grades. Oh well:)

Brownie Meeting....
Brownie meeting at Emily Trammel's house. We're working on the "Art Badge". They talked about Impressionism, Cubism, and Pop Art, then made their own Pop Art and have a big "take home" project to do!!! OMG - another "project". We're already working on our mandatory "Science Project" at school... now this!!!
British Bread...
So now we have to buy British toasting bread thanks to Peppa Pig:) I asked Jasmine if she could talk in her British accent at the Brownie meeting the other day. She wouldn't do it:)

Long day.....
Skate lesson with Rozaline, Elite Skating, hair cut with our new friend Beth Oliver, extra piano lesson with Ms. Janalee, then Abby Dalsin's birthday party at "Pump It Up". Abby goes to Jasmine's school but is in the other Grade 2 class across the hall. Jasmine and Abby also skate together. Now we are supposed to be doing homework, but it's not happening. Tomorrow- Brownie meeting and swimming. Then gymnastics camp on MLK day since there's no school. Maybe I can at least get started on tax preparation on that day.
Here's Jasmine getting her hair cut at Beth's salon. I think I may have actually found someone I like who cuts my hair and is simultaneously friendly and people oriented. Amazing. Anyway, Jasmine has never had her hair cut at a "big girl" salon, and she was was surprised to find out that they wash your hair in the sink first. I guess I neglected to tell her that:) Then Jazzy received a complimentary manicure with little handpainted flowers on her nails!!!
Abby's party. Abby is the girl with blonde hair and hearts on her pants:)

Saying goodbye to Jessie......
Rest in peace little Jessie. Jasmine saying goodbye to Jessie as her spirit was leaving her body. She had a very happy life- at least with us. We don't know where she came from or who had her prior to us finding her in a parking lot four years ago. Unfortunately, Jasmine has some kind of "state testing" of some sort today and tomorrow. Bad timing. We'll miss you Jessie:( She will be cremated today.

Funny...
This past week, Jasmine's class studied the digestive system. For homework over the weekend, they were supposed to draw/trace the digestive system. I gave Jazzy a human digestive tract to trace and label, but I also gave her a dog diagram. She traced it, labeled it, ... then put a bow on the dogs head and named her "Princess":))
Speaking of dogs, we almost said goodbye to Jessie today. She has been declining for about a week, and really went downhill last night. We said a tearful morning thinking she was going to pass away today on her own. We went shopping for a birthday party gift for Abby Dalsin's party next week, just took our time, went out to lunch. When we got back, Jessie had moved! We're going to give it a couple more days or so on some different medications and see if she rallies like she has in the past, but I don't really have my hopes up. We figure she was 10 or 11 yrs old when we found her on January 20, 2010, so in 8 days we will have had her for 4 years. She is probably 14 or 15 now and has been a great dog for Jazzy,... and Jazzy has given Jessie a really nice extra few years.
Another "funny"- I told Jasmine that the Back Handspring Clinic and the next level of Lego Engineering were on the exact day at the exact same time, then I asked her which she preferred to go to. "Well, I want to learn more about Legos, and probably I will 'break my neck' at a Back Handspring Clinic!!! Just the way she said it was hilarious!!
