Craft for Missy Cat

The other day I found directions to make a cat scratching toy. I thought, "Wow, Missy cat would love it and Emily would enjoy making it with me." Well, at least I was half right, Emily giggled a lot when she was helping me make it. However, Missy wasn't the least impressed with it. That was until I put catnip on it, then she enjoyed it for 45 seconds and hasn't gone near the thing since.

Father-Daughter Dance - Emily

The cheapest package that the professionals were offerings was 1-5x7 and 4 wallet sized pictures for $18. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a black sheet for $12 and look what I received. To boot, it was a lot of fun.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Last weekend Synchronicity Performance Group presented If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Since Emily and I have read the book a couple of times and she enjoyed it, we attended play. Emily laughed often during the performance. Here are some pictures of the entrance of the theater.


Here's a picture of the set.

Going to Virginia

On the way to Grandma's Emily spotted snow on the mountains. The first opportunity that I had, I stopped. There wasn't much snow, but by Emily's excitement, you would have thought that it was 10 inches deep.
