Pretty Woman
We did it...she rises early and watches mommy get ready every morning. She plays with my make-up brushes, douses herself in lotion and adorns herself with my jewelry. She had been asking for holes in her ears like mommy for quite some time. I explained to her that I was four years old when I had mine pierced and that it hurt. She continued to insist she would be "brave" so...we had a ladies night out last Saturday at Zona Rosa and shopped at Old Navy and Gap for some new clothes (and ended up with A LOT of PINK) and then went to Claire's to do the deed. She picked out little pink crystal flowers, and although she did cry for about 5 seconds, she immediately told me she was going to tell daddy how brave she was. She ran into the house to show her brothers. Her sweet older brother, Jonathan, looked at her and sweetly told me his little sister "looked pretty and like a big girl". :)

Children's TLC Groundhog Run 2011
A day after an icy plunge into Longview Lake, I ran the TLC Groundhog Run again this year (3rd year in a row). The Children’s TLC Groundhog Run is believed to be the only 5k/10k race in the nation that is totally underground (in the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis). With a consistent temperature of 65 to 68 degrees, one can ditch the running pants, jackets, hats and gloves in favor of shorts and a tank top. Approximately 3,500 runners competed in this annual winter event.
9th overall (600 women) 2nd in age group.
Running partners Amy and Traci.
High school friend, Phillip
Greeted by my 3 biggest fan at the end of the 10K. :)
9th overall (600 women) 2nd in age group.
43:54 (7:04 pace)
Special Olympics Polar Plunge 2011
Yes, it was COLD. Yes, they had to take power tools and axes to the ice on Longview Lake, and Yes, it was a BLAST. Team SuperWomen were able to raise over $1300 together in support of the Missouri Special Olympics!
We make it look warm out...it was, in fact, not warm AT ALL!

Guess who started dance?
She cried when I said she couldn't wear her "tappy tap shoes" to school.
Nick cried when I told him he wasn't ever getting any "tappy tap" shoes....
As if we didn't celebrate enough....
We had cake Tuesday night as a family to celebrate Kate's birthday, again. :)
Celebration of Life-Stepping Stones Montessori
Kate had her turn at the Celebration of Life Ceremony to honor her 3rd birthday. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how birthday's are celebrated Montessori style.
(And could I possibly have been more careless in my choice of snack? All the the children were stained pink and red)
