Stella and I did some shopping at the mall to pick out a dress for her to wear to the 8th grade dance next Friday.

Then we had dinner. 

She tried some Uni (sea urchin) this time – she has determined that she is not a fan of that particular item.

I found this guy at the Fairview Heights Saver’s thrift shop.

The Sodor Bay boat is going to ram him.

Well, I survived the races today!  We were losers...4th place in the second to last consolation division to be exact!  But it was a good time, the weather was beautiful, the kids behaved and I'm not too sore.  I've posted more pictures at my other blog if you have a hankering to see more from the day.  Now it's late and I'm off to bed!
