mimi lately
I’ve been accumulating pictures of Mimi, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to her. Afterall, it was her birthday this week, too.
Last Tuesday was Pirate Day at Mimi’s school. Mimi was not in the least pleased to dress up as a pirate (including tears). I should’ve just let her dress as her normal Mimi self, but I felt like it was my duty as a preschool mommy to make sure my kid participates. I must say though that this girly house is not well-equipped with pirate gear. All I could come up with was a ruffly, knit shirt, jean capris, white tights, and a bandana.
I have to say that Sadie is probably the most patient cat I’ve ever met. This is what I found the other day while Mimi was eating lunch. Is she perhaps using Sadie as a napkin?
While cooking dinner the other night I thought it would be easy to just feed Violet in between busy cooking moments. Violet takes very long to eat and is always so distracted by her sisters during dinner. Mimi snuck in and started feeding Violet and actually had better luck than me to get her to willingly take bites. I think I’ve found a permanent job for Meems.
Also notice that Mimi is wearing the same shirt in the past 2 sets of pictures. It’s Annie’s “birthday” shirt from a couple of years ago. Mimi asked if she could wear it for her birthday. Mimi insisted on wearing it 2 days in a row, and I relented. But I put down my foot when she begged to wear it a 3rd day.
Last night was the annual fish fry at the Catholic elementary school where Mimi’s preschool is located (they aren’t officially affiliated though). The school has the preschool kids participate in their musical program. I still get a kick out of a school fundraising event making beer and wine available to the guests.
Here’s Mimi singing with her fellow classmates. It was nearly impossible to get a semi-decent shot of her. The flash didn’t reach far enough, and not using the flash resulted in blurry/noisy pictures. Oh, well.
Annie, Daddy, and Violet enjoyed the festivities eating fried food and tasty treats. Well, Violet was more than happy to just chew on a plastic spoon.
How was your week?

I love the look on both Mimi’s face and Sadie’s face in the picture of her sitting at the counter. All the girls are so cute. And I guess Mike is cute too. It’s weird to see him look normal for a picture.

I LOVE the pirate costume. I hate dress up days I never have any idea what to send them in.

I was impressed with the pirate get-up as well! Love that cat–makes me want one! Go Mimers for feeding Vi–that’ll come in handy, I’m sure! And, way to raise some dough for the wrong team–just kidding!
