K & N's Montessori

A little update on the babes and pre-school.. they're doing well!

Kai goes five days a week while Niki goes three days.  She only goes part time because Ms. Riffi (their teacher) doesn't have the capacity for her age group full time.

Mahal takes them in the morning (I prep their clothes for them) while I pick them up in the afternoon.  I love it when I get there because I wait until they've noticed that I've arrived.  And it is soooo awesome when you see that look, the element of surprise as they see someone they love.  Kyan's hilarious; he screams and runs right to me!  Nakia is shortly behind him.  I love it!  

I can't wait to actually see them bring some school work home.. hehe.  It'll probably be a bit, but I'm looking forward to it.

I know it costs a lot of money.  I mean, for Kai alone is over $10k in a year.  Nonetheless, I am very happy to have them there.  Riffi & Shermeen take good care of our bambinos and it shows.

Good and Not so Good

O m g . . . has it really been two weeks since I last posted?!

So sorry.. that was terrible of me. I have had many things going on. Good and not so good. I certainly need prayers for the not so good part, which in due time I will share. Btw, it has nothing to do with the other not so good, that yes I did not share. But I do appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.

So a few things that I will certainly elaborate on . . .

*First week of school
*First day of preschool for the bambinos!
*Not so good family news
*Almost done with 2nd graduate class
*Planning and coordinating three early spring 2009 weddings
*New hairstyle
*Events galore in the next 3mos... 4 to be exact!

Okay, well I certainly have work to do! I will post more often, I promise. I will leave you with this...

Bakery Foodie Review - Elizabethan

Okay I just got back from Encinitas after a morning at the Quail Botanical Gardens and a nearby park.

The very reason for my journey up there was this bakery, oh and of course to playdate with some sweet friends.. hehe.

So I picked up $26.20 worth of Elizabethan Desserts, which I rated below (*poor to *****best):

Red Velvet cupcake *

Black & White cupcake *

Diggity Dang cupcake **

Anything & Everything Cookie ****

Magic Bar *****

Btw, I asked the cashier why it's pronounced "eliza-bee-thann".  She didn't know.  Then later that day, I was telling my friend that Elizabeth is a thespian.  She then brought up that that might be reason for the pronunciation... is she right?
