Weird, Wacky, and Wonderful

1-It seems there is a new game of tag going on at CJ's school where someone oinks like a pig and then tags someone and says you have the swine flu.(note I have witnessed the kids playing it) I'm surprised it hasn't made the papers since we still hear about the swine flu on a daily pandemic basis.

2- Chris took CJ to a birthday party on sat - so I had the afternoon with Casey. I let her pick out what she wanted to do for the afternoon. She came up with the gameplan that we both wear high heeled shoes (hers were plastic Sleeping Beauty heels and I cheated with a wedge espadrille) , walk to our town center, and go to the nailpolish store (Boots drug store)and look at the nail polishes. I pushed for starbucks or the books store but her mind was made up. Well 1/2 way to town and little Casey's feet hurt and she wanted to be in her crocs.( so maybe the best parenting tactic is really let them have what they think they want)- ended up painting her nails purple and pink at home and doing a fairy castle puzzle together.

3- In my little Blog world ( I read like 4 blogs)- I have been keeping up with a family's trials and tribulations as they go through the process of adoption in Russia. The courts ruled on Friday that their little boy can head HOME to Texas! I love stories with happy endings. And for the record I am all for Madonna getting to adopt Mercy- love the fact she kept appealing to the courts- as at the end of the day the Most important thing in my mind is these kids get forever homes!

Thanks Marina! We are thrilled too. I can't wait for the process to be over and we can just have Owen home. We're almost there!
