Week4: Jan 23 - Jan29

On Monday, Sullivan had a day off so she went to work with me. She attended my Econ class and said I did a pretty good job, but that my PowerPoint was boring.  Guess I need to add some animation and pictures of cute animals! (Apparently my webcam doesn't take high resolution pics!)

Wednesday night, we had an impromptu fashion show and photo shoot with the American Girls.

Here's Sullivan and Lainey sporting their matching shirts:

Here's Kanani, who's still rocking the fancy hairstyle she got in November at the American Girl store in NYC:

High Five!

And here are Sullivan and Felicity (Sullivan's first American Girl doll), all ready for bed in their matching night gowns:

Sullivan also wanted to get a picture of herself giving rabbit ears to each doll, and one of each doll giving rabbit ears to her. So here's a little summary of that:

Week 3: Jan 16 - Jan 22

We finally got some snow!  It wasn't a big one, but it was enough to go try out the new sled that Sullivan got for Christmas.

There was a lot of backward sledding, sliding under bushes and falling off right before crashing into something.  Dad even got in a ride or two.

Going......                                               going.........                                          gone!

 I know this next one isn't the greatest picture, but I love the way it shows how hard Tim was working!

Week 2: Jan 9 - Jan 15

Here's a summary of what we did this week.

My little scientist decided to do some experiments.  The plan was to collect these samples and then examine them under the microscope.  We never actually got around to the microscope, so really we just collected a lot of mud.  But she sure had a good time!

We aren't getting any snow this winter.  We had a snowy Halloween, and haven't gotten any thing since then - which means I'm not getting any snow pictures.  So I sent Sullivan outside and said "pretend it's snowing".  Then I worked a little Photoshop magic and got some snow pics!

Sullivan decided that her allowance wasn't enough to sustain her spending habits, so she started coming up with some ideas to earn some extra cash.  Items for sale:  her autograph, a picture she drew, a dry erase maker, exercise classes, and make-overs.  Tim ended up buying the picture she drew, and I got a yoga class.

The big event this weekend:  Sullivan's first time as alter server at church.  She looked so nervous and tense all through Mass that we were worried she was going to pass out!  But she did a fantastic job.

To end the week, here's a shot of Sullivan engaged in one of her favorite pastimes:  looking at herself in a mirror.

Week 1: Jan 2 - Jan 8, 2012

All three McGee's were back to work/school on Jan. 3rd, but at least we're all rested and relaxed from our time off together.

We're still enjoying some of our new Christmas toys, like these fabulous Light Saber chopsticks:

We also had some crazy shifts in the weather this week - from really cold to really warm within a few days.

I'm not a big fan of winter, but one of the things I really do love is snuggling up with a book and a drink in front of the fireplace.
