We've had a pretty low key week. School started back in full swing this week so life is back to normal, for the most part. All of the Christmas stuff is put away and we have moved on to dreaming and planning for our Walt Disney World trip later this month! We are SO excited!
The girls are familiar with most Disney characters but I'm trying to watch some of the older movies so they'll know everyone. This week we got in Peter Pan and Mary Poppins. I'm hoping to get in Bambi and Snow White and I just want them to watch Bedknobs and Broomsticks (I LOVE it)!
The girls were enjoying their spaghetti while we watched Peter Pan.
I took this picture this week of Kellie after she went to sleep. How sweet are little kids when they are sleeping (unlike when they are awake...haha) The teddy bear that she's sleeping with is Leonard. Leonard was MY bear growing up and he was ALWAYS in my room! He was in my room even as a teenager. My mom kept him (along with lots of other stuff from my childhood) and gave it to Kellie when she first came to live with us. She's always kept it in her room but over the last couple of weeks, she has become attached to it. I cannot even tell you how this picture makes me feel! It seriously makes my heart swell! I love that she's FINALLY getting attached to something (because things have been taken from her so much during her little life) and I LOVE that it's Leonard! I also LOVE her!
Report cards came out this week and who made the A/B HONOR ROLL - this little girl!!! I could NOT be more proud of her! She has struggled so much with her schoolwork over the last year. She is currently repeating first grade because we felt that after the crazy changes she had in her life last year that repeating would be the best thing for her. She has handled this year like a champ! She is reading at the level she needs to be and has made HUGE progress in every subject! She is SUCH.A.HARD.WORKER! We are just so proud of her!
Friday night we ate dinner at a new pizza buffet in town and ran to Target. Since the girls had such a great week at school we picked up the Doc McStuffins Operation game and played it when we got home. The girls absolutely love playing games!
Today we went to my parents to visit my mom since she had knee surgery this week. While we were there we checked out a new Mexican restaurant and the girls ate chalupas for the first time (they were BIG fans). I tried to get some cute pics of them but this is what I came up with. This is how life is about 95% of the time - SILLY!! Just keeping it real!! :)
Here's to a great week and may the days go by quickly! The Akins are READY.FOR.DISNEY.WORLD! :)
