Dress Up

MOPS started last week and we've been busy ever since!  I had one of Virginia's favorite babysitters come on Friday morning so I could get out and do some errands on my own (she's coming next week one morning so i can get started on getting the house ready).  Yes it is MONTHS before we move but I worked hard in Leavenworth to get things semi-organized so that when the packers/movers come we would be ready and have most things in a place.  It worked really well.  Virginia's outgrown clothes and my clothes that I will fit in one day are all in totes labeled with a number and then recorded in a notebook so that we don't just have totes hanging out and not know what's in them.  Anyway, we've acquired more stuff and I'm needing to get it somewhat organized and this particular babysitter is only here until March when she heads overseas to study. 
Then on Saturday one of my dearest friends here has an AWESOME husband who volunteers on a regular basis to watch their kids and Virginia while she and I get out.  So yesterday we headed to a parent/teacher store called Lakeshore Learning.  We have several of their things here and I just wanted to go and see.  Well several hundred dollars later I now have enough manipulatives, alphabet learning games, numbers games, counting tools, craft supplies,alphabet beads, ect...to outfit a pre-school in my house!  UGH I miss teaching (some days more than others) and wow I went a tad overboard yesterday getting my "classroom" ready!  My justification for all this is that since Virginia doesn't nap I can put some of these things in her room during quiet time and she can do some play/learning while in there. I'll get a picture of what all I got. 
So after blowing all my money in the school supply store we went to the mall where I was all out of the mood to spend anymore money but I enjoyed just being out and helping my friend do some shopping.   It was a wonderful day and when I got back to my friends house Virginia was all happy and just kept saying how much fun she had had playing. 
Sorry for just the one picture.  This is Virginia one day who wanted to put on her fairy outfit with her wings and play.  Thank you Holly and Leanna for the fairy dress up chest from last Christmas she LOVES it!
