In case you didn't know

• she is now going by the name victoria. not sure why, but we are going with it. today when i picked her up from pre-school the teachers sang 'goodbye victoria.' she's taking it very seriously.
• she is an honorary member of our pto. she goes to every meeting and today she was helping us count tickets for the carnival. the ladies called her victoria too.
• she is allergic to praying mantises. we had one outside our front door for 4 days. the kids named him george. but sofia, hmm victoria, told us all she was allergic to it.
• she will be snow white for halloween. even if she tells you she will be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, SHE'S GOING TO BE SNOW WHITE!!  i already have the costume.
• she is addicted to the fresh beat band.  and we have every show on our dvr.
• we think she has a crush on thomas, a boy at school.  she talks about him all the time.  and he chases her on the playground.  it must be love.
  
• she's been getting out of bed in the middle of the night.  i wish i was awake enough to send her back to bed, but she usually ends up in ours.
• she can take a pretty good picture with my camera.  can't wait to give her her christmas present.
  
• she will most likely go to kindergarten next year.  so i am enjoying this time alone with her.
• she picked the perfect pumpkin at the patch the other day.  perfect.
• she always says thank you and i love you.  and when she's in trouble she remembers to tell me i am the bestest mom ever!  thanks lovey.

having fun here.  spending our time on the halloween carnival, book reports, spanish projects, homemade halloween costumes, taking the most amazing online class by my favorite life artist and swim meets, two medals last week, one was for first place. 

sorry i haven't been updating.  but i will try.  have a good weekend.
