princess makeover.

1. definitely need someone who's up for it!

2. paint nails and toes.

 3. style hair in an updo with pretty much all the clips you can find.

 4. make up. it would really help if you actually own some.

 5. layer poofy dresses for extra volume and length. accessorize with crown, shoes and jewelry and tada!

guess who's going to disney.

our little achiever got 100 stars! don't mind the static-y hair.

pop-iscles.

don't worry, it's a toy knife. throw a bunch of grapes, cantaloupe and banana in a blender. add milk and ice and viola homemade popsicles or as sophie likes to call it pop-iscles.

getting the big bucks.

weekend shenanigans.

1. on saturday, we went to hollywood boardwalk beach. no swimming this time because of sophie's booboo. just enjoyed walking along the boardwalk. seafood pizza and ice cream! yummmm! pictures at AYAZINE.
2. on sunday, we went to a new church. message was awesome according to hubby (sophie and i were at the nursery)  plus there's lots of kids so i think this is where we will be attending until we move again. we went to supermarket after and i still can't get over the fact that they sell firecrackers there! ??? at the supermarket! so we picked up some.
3. monday, we had corn, macaroni sald, hotdogs and burgers. sophie and i made a flag cake!! i mad ethe cake and sophie helped me decorate. later on, we tried the firecrackers and watched some fireworks by our lake. a lot of failed photos but they were amazing. it's sophie's first time so she was very excited!!!!

sophie's first scrapbook page.

 blogged about our trip over at AYAZINE.

tracing letters.

one of the activities that sophie loves is writing. i started letting her write about a year ago. she loves it so much that sometimes the only way i could make her stop is if the daylight is out. she also has her own pocket folder where she keeps everything. she gets so excited to show off what she did. there's a lot of websites out there where you can download writing worksheets but i my go-to site is this just because it's has the right amount of space and there are images she can color too. i also downloaded this tracing font so that i can make custom worksheets like her name and stuff.

butterfly world.

hope everyone had a good long weekend! we spent our memorial day at butterfly world. if we were back in ny, we would have probably bbqed in our backyard with our family. we really miss everyone back "home" but exploring miami is so much fun and stress free. seeing sophie's face everytime we take her out is priceless.

trip to the pet store.

 

sophie left her little fishie, ponyo in ny, so we promised her that we would get a new one especially after going to the aqaurium over the weekend. luckily we live 5 mins away from petco. they have tons of fish but we decided to go with the betta fish.
a year ago, we bought sophie 4 cychlids and a bottom feeder and for some reason they all ended up floating. so we got one flower horn  fish instead. even though the fish are inexpensive, the actual tank and all the accessories can get a little pricey if you add it all up. so last christmas, j got sophie a gold betta fish. and let me tell you it never dies! and it's so easy to maintain. we change the water once a month and sometimes we even forget to feed her. ooops.
we got ponyo along with the little container (it comes with the rocks and a plastic plant), food and the water conditioner for $35.00. not bad right?
well here in miami, we got blu with everything for only $14.00!! booyah! now sophie got her job back. she loves feeding time!
