Happiness is...

Those twinkly little eyes
Those pinchy little fingers
A nice big spit-up all down my shirt
That pudgy little tummy
Such a winning little smile if you can snag one
Ten little fingers and ten tiny toes
I love that little guy :)

photo contest

Come on folks, I need more than this. I am extending the deadline slightly because I have not received very many entries.

I'm sure there's a picture somewhere that makes you smile!

World of Song

I am writing this here to see if anybody is interested in coming to see our last choir concert. It is called World of Song and it is a collection of International music written by two Canadian composers, Stephen Hatfield and John Govedas.

It is on Monday, May 31st. I can get tickets for $12.50. It will be a great concert and if you haven't seen any of them yet it would definitely be a fun one. I am so excited for it!!!

Anyways, if anybody is interested they can let me know and I will get you tickets :) It will be great fun.

Contest!!

I have decided, that for all you wondeful readers (all two of you) I am going to host a special photo contest.

The theme is 'Photos that make me smile'

"me" being you, not me :)

You can enter one photo per person and they can be of pretty much anything, and you must take the picture yourself.

The deadline is Thursday, May 27th, at which time I will choose one, maybe two favorites. That gives you just over a week, which is plenty of time for you to smile lots of times (I hope).

Anyone is welcome to enter if they have a photo. I very much look forward to seeing your pictures, and the winner will receive a FABULOUS prize, which I will reveal at a later date :)

See you later <3

Oh, how to get me the pictures. You can email them to me at d a n c i n g _ d r e a m e r _ g i r l @ h o t m a i l . c o m

(minus the spaces, I just don't want robots finding it and spamming my inbox. And please keep in mind that I will be posting all the pictures on the blog, so there is the non-privacy issue if you are concerned about that)

My Hero

I was sitting on the trampoline with Ethan and Eli yesterday.

Eli run up to me and says "Hey little lady (?) ! You look like you need help! But don't worry, I'll save you! I am Buzz Lightyear!"

He bounces around the trampoline in circles a few times humming an impromptu tune somewhat reminiscent of the William Tell overture. Like a chase scene from an western movie, complete with sound effects (Ha! Take that! Gotcha!) only...with one person...and an invisible nemesis.

He stops.
Large gasp. "Oh no! I see...I see...a bear!"

He rushes off and presumably does away with the bear.

"Oh, Eli! How can I ever thank you?"

"I'm not Eli! I'm...Buzz...Lightyear!!!"

(quick side note. Ethan has a stuffed puppy named Finnegan, you know, like, from Mr. Dress up? Anyhow, Eli and Ethan are both quite into Toy Story. Eli is all over Buzz Lightyear. But they've confused the phrase a little bit so it becomes...

"Too infinnegan, and beyond!"

For any of you who don't know, it's actually to infinity and beyond. Hilarious.)

Eli rushes off again, running with a passion and a flame in his heart.

I can fairly hear Chariots of Fire.
My hero.

My boyfriends

Aren't my boyfriends sweet? Mum asked me "why aren't Miles and Aaron in on this photo shoot?"
"Oh, they're too old for me :)"
I'm so lucky :)

William Albert Gillespie

Now we have another birthday in our family. Little Will is such a darling :)

Aren't I LUCKY????

Or, I should say *blessed*

Hey, guess what?

It happens to be 2 am.
I happen to be up.
Guess why?

Well....I just HAPPEN to have a new baby brother, that's why!!!!

I'll be back in the morning with more details.
*yawn*
Goodnight :)

Hey, midget

Today Isabel said to me "Hey, Midget, when's lunch?"

HA!

I'm trying to think of a new poem about Emmelia, but I can't think of anything to write about. Does anybody have any ideas? PLEASE tell me if you do. Thanks :)

poetry, but not my own

This is a cute poem that I read somewhere, and I liked it so I looked it up.

Smart
My dad have me one dollar bill
"Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
"Cause two is more than one!

And then I took the quarters
and traded them to Lou
For three dimes--I guess he don't know
That three is more than two!

Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!

And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!

And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head-
Too proud of me to speak!
