It's official

I'm going back to school! I should be starting web design classes next week. I originally just wanted to take a few classes here and there to learn a few things I've been curious about but it looks like I'll be going for a diploma - not a degree but if I feel I want to start a career in web design and I feel a degree will help, then I can always do that later. For now though I'd like to test the waters before jumping in. I'm scared but it should be fun and very rewarding.




It isn't even October yet but I'm already hunting down the perfect Halloween costumes for my girls. Jocelyn decided on Ariel (Hannah Montana was a close second). Alysa wanted to be Dance rescue Dora but while I was on eBay trying to score a good deal on a mermaid costume, I ended up bidding on a Dora mermaid costume thinking it would be good for Jocelyn (last minute decision with only seconds before the auction ended and a bidding war going on - mermaids must be a popular choice this year!). Well after the auction ended, I realized it was a size 2-4 and Jocelyn is a little big for 4 so it would probably end up being too small. Plus, when I showed it to her, she reminded me that she wanted to be ARIEL not DORA - I should have known better. SO I had to convince Alysa that she wanted to be Dora mermaid instead of Dora dance to the rescue by popping in the Dora mermaid DVD and saying "Look Alysa, it's Dora mermaid! Don't you want to be her for Halloween? Mermaids are SOOOO cool!". She agreed =) I then decided that I needed to stay away from eBay and check out Target - what do you know? they have an Ariel costume for $20! (same costume selling for $40 on eBay). Now Jocelyn's only demand is a red wig....oh, and a tiara of corse.
