Thank you to Karla, a blast from the past (1995, anyone?), who provided us with the dress, veil and shoes and wanted nothing in return. Karla, I snuck a Target gift card on your entryway shelf and still owe you!

Callie's First Communion
Last Saturday was Callie's First Communion ceremony! It took her 2 years of preparation, and she was so sweet and beautiful at the service! Nana made the cake/cupcakes, which were gorgeous and yummy! A wonderful and generous friend from church came by with her granddaughter and a gift after the ceremony. Friends and family came to a party afterward, and we had a scrumptious lunch brought by Plaza Catering. It was a special event.

The Clean Plate Club
Below are last night's members of The Clean Plate Club. We joke about this at Weight Watchers a lot since so many of us were brought up to clean our plate at dinnertime before we got to go play or have dessert. It can be a challenge to leave some food on your plate (or not get seconds) when something is super yummy. We try not to place huge servings on our kids' plate so they don't feel like they have to finish every drop. But last night they really dug my Baked Spaghetti (recipe to come with photo, OF COURSE!) and even had seconds!
Without further delay, here are my members (and no, we are not in a halfway house; this is our own home, thank you very much, it's just that my husband recently turned into a (wallpaper) STRIPPER:

Picking My Boogahs: A Post by Eva
Last week at gymnaskits I made my teacher laugh. She saw something shmugie in my hair even though I just had a bath. She asked if it was gum or a boogah.
I said, "It can't be a boogah because I gave up picking my boogahs for Lent."
Does anybody know how long Lent is?

The Tone of an Email
I have heard that people should not communicate via email if they can help it. That TONE is misunderstood a lot in email. So I have a plan since I like to communicate that way and especially since I prefer to have confrontations that way ... so I can think about my argument and try to hash things out before meeting in person, maybe.
Here's what I'm going to do with future emails before I start my communication:

Here is a convahsation between my mommy and me wecently.
Eva: Look, another wormie!
Mommy: Oh, he's sweet. You can keep him.
Eva: No, he's not Squiggly Wormie. I let him back in the wild. I miss Squiggly Wormie.
[keep in mind my Rs sounds like Ws]
Eva: I found a nice comfy bed for new Squiggly Wormie. He's gonna need a pillow.
