sunday to sunday...

it was a busy week...

on sunday... a friend of mine invited me to try yoga... it was my first time... where the temp was kicked up a bit... it was an intermediate class that went for an hour and fifteen minutes... phew... who knew that yoga was so intense... not this girl...
i can safely say that i am not at an intermediate level... some basic yoga may be more my speed... i liked it enough to know that i'll give it another try... 
{sorry... no photos from this experience... it wasn't pretty...}

monday was back to school for me... 3 classes this semester... a special education class, a tech for teaching class and an art class... so far so good...
and maizie informed me that she no longer wants to take jazz... she'd like to go back to ballet... now i just have to see if that's still possible... i hope that it is... if so, it will be her 6th year of ballet...

tuesday... marina takes jazz and that girl loves it... they are doing their routine to "it's a hard knock life" from annie... i love that song... it takes me back to my childhood and doing plays in the front yard with my friends... singing the songs at the tops of our lungs... i know i'll cry when i see her perform on stage... i always do...

wednesday and thursday were spent doing some more organizing of that third floor space... it's coming along... very slowly... lots of fabric folding... i still have so much more to do...

friday was the father daughter dance at marina's school... the theme was winter wonderland... marina loves to be dressed up... we hot rolled the hair and did a little manicure/pedicure with pink sparkles...
 john got all spiffed up and wore a tie to coordinate with his girl...
 nothing sweeter than a daughter with their daddy... {love}

saturday was maizie's birthday party with her friends from school... i tried to make the rainbow cake that i made several years back...  it's supposed to looks like this...
well... i was in the kitchen for a couple of hours... things were going along just fine... lots of pretty colors... and it baked up perfect...
i had it all stacked up nicely and then the whole cake decided to start splitting down the center... i was pretty upset... and a bit in panic mode because the party was set to start in an hour... so i did the only thing i could do at that point...

scooped it into a large glass bowl... in rainbow colored pieces... added some sprinkles and had to let go and embrace that it wasn't going to be what i set out for it to be... instead we had this...
the "rainbowl" cake.... 

it ended up being a hit... and i was thankful that the candles stood up in it long enough for us to sing happy birthday :)...

the girls did some just dancing... lots of running around and lots of laughing... and they made some polka dottie heart art... super cute!... it was a good party...

and here we are... back to sunday... 

we went to visit my gram this morning...  she's got some spunk... and wanted to give chipotle a try... i went and picked it up and we all had a nice lunch together... she liked it a lot... i'm so thankful to still have her in my life and in the girls lives... blessed!

have a happy day~

I think that cake looked great in the bowl! Which Special Ed class do you have this semester? Wes took one a few semesters ago. It was tough!
