Cootie.....Inspired

  I'm not sure if I had mentioned this in previous posts but the name of my blog was created by my Sweet and Sassy 8 year old.  Sooo fitting.... ;) Well, I've tricked my little sweet and sassy into reviewing her coins and adding money (without having to go shopping).  During my late night blog hopping I came across Hungry Hippo on heathersfirstgradeheart.blogspot.com,
too cute!!  Well, this got me thinking about a game that my daughter received this year, which is really too young for her UNTIL NOW.  Do you remember this...........

I've changed a few things and now we are counting coins and buying cooties. (eeeeewwww!!)  Buying Cooties
My sweet and sassy did a fabulous  job adding and subtracting money AND she beat me by completing her Cootie before me.


After feeling so confident with her money, she decided to start her own lemonade stand in the driveway.  It's been a fabulous Friday!!

    First off . . . your blog name is flat out FANTASTIC! Sassy is one of my favorite words. I love that you pulled the old cootie switcheroo on your kiddo. What a fantastic idea . . . to incorporate money. It's so cool that she is starting a lemonade stand. I remember doing that when I was a kid too. Glad I found you :)

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!!  I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It.  {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready.  That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process.  {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this:  I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding).  I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander.  Super powerful.  I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!!  A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....
