Sickness, Stars and Apps!

Kei has been sick all week.† She came home from a spend the night party for one of her best friends feeling pretty yucky.† So we have spent most all week chilled on the couch.

She got 2 Webkinz for Valentineís Day that she finally named.† The Red Squirrel is Abby Tree Hugger and the Jelly Bean Pup is Chelsea Morning.† [She wanted a hippy name :)]

Kei, Abby TreeHugger, Chelsea Morning...

She missed Monday practice but decided she could go Tuesday.† It wasnít a good idea because she has felt bad ever since.

We give Nomad water from the sink.† Donít judge! If you were to see how he drinks it from a bowl you would understand..this way is much neater..TRUST ME!† Disclaimer- Disregard my dirty sink! I had been making Chicken San Remo! Which is one of our favorite meals!

Slurpping Water..Nomad style

We did get outside for about 10 minutes yesterday because it was close to 70∞!

We did try to put chicken bones together.† I got the lesson plan here.† After having a chicken that looked remarkably like a frog Kei decided she probably wouldnít be a paleontologist!

Hmmm what goes here?
The Rare "Chicken Frog"

We have been doing a lot on iPhone.† So I thought I would list some of our favorite ëeducationalí apps.

Cat Physics

ILive Math African Animals

ILive Botany

Brain Pop

Stack the States

She is loving these and especially the Cat Physics.† We† lay in bed and play this one!

I have discovered “Prison Break” and am loving it.† Wentworth Miller = swoons. Anyone who reads me knows how much I love to discover a TV Series that I never watched that I can watch all the way through on Netflix.† This one is very well written!

I work for someone in the Entertainment business.† I spent all day Monday on the phone with Sam Hennings. I am coordinating getting his car from Los Angeles to New Orleans for “Memphis Beat”.† He asked me where I was from and I told him the city and he said, “I lived there for a few years when I was young”.† I said to him, “Get out of here, how cool is that?”† I didn’t realize until Stan told me exactly “who” I was talking to. hehe He was the nicest guy!† Even told me I should come to New Orleans with Kei and come on set!

I am taking Kei to the doctor this afternoon.† Her play starts next week and with 8 days straight of practice and performances she doesnít need to feel bad.† Hopefully it is just a little something that will GO AWAY soon!

Happy Thursday all,

ìLet us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.î† ~Buddha

  1. I love the dog drinking water from the faucet!! That is hilarious!! I wanted to tell you that if you go to Amazon and look up “The Children’s Homer” audio version, you can join audible.com for a free trial and download the book AND another book for free. I did it last night. Now I don’t have to struggle with pronouncing the names. The guy reading it is super clear. My kids loved listening to it last night. And it saves my voice. Double points for me. YAY!!

  2. I love looking at your weeks. Kei always looks so happy – sick or not! I love when the kids become a part of what they do. For Kei it is acting, for Grace it is piano and for Lilah….we are still figuring that out!

  3. I hope Kei is feeling better!! It looks like she’s having an excellent time at rehearsals, nonetheless. She is amazing! I hope she is all better for the performancesócrossing fingers! You both must be just tingling with anticipation and excitement.

    I also love that Buddha quote. And I saw it on Karisma’s facebook page, and knew just who’d inspired her 🙂 BTW, after you’ve ‘friended’ Karisma, you can always ‘friend’ me too (that is, if you want to!).

    Have a beautiful day!

  4. Sorry to hear Kei is sick. I hope she feels better soon.

    I wish my girls liked to act and be in plays. it looks like such fun and a great way to meet people!

  5. (((HUGS))) Hope you are feeling better soon Kei! I was laughing at the dog drinking from the tap. One of mine does the same! She loves the tap, or the hose but will not play in her swimming pool, go figure. I think she just loves the freshness of running water 🙂

    Love the wise words from Buddha there, also made me laugh! I am so pinching it for my facebook status! Hugs lovely xoxox
