To be 10 again

Wouldn't that be fun? I can't tell you how happy I am that Cassie loves it up here so much. She seems to be so much happier here than she was in Texas. I know it's because she has a lot more opportunities here and she gets to do so much more. Her little corner of the world seems to be pretty bright here lately. Mine would be too I think if I were 10 1/2 and:

Just finished my very first knitting project. She took an enrichment class at school in February after school and learned to knit. She started a scarf in the classes but didn't finish it because she wanted hers to be longer than what it was when the class ended. She put it away for a long time and finally decided to last week to finish it. Here she is modeling her very first scarf! Thank goodness they provided her with websites that have video tutorials if they got stuck. I know nothing of knitting so would be no help. They do have a knitting shop here called Knitter's Cottage that offers workshops for knitters who get stuck on projects and I'm sure I'll be taking her in for those. She also wants to learn to make socks so I'm sure we'll be signing her up for a class as soon as she has a few more scarves under her belt. I told her once she finished this scarf that I'd buy her some new yarn. She held me to it too. As soon as this was done she was ready to go to the store where she picked up a nice bright pink yarn. Her first order of business.....one of her Webkinz needed a scarf. I bring you Cassandra the love puppy with her new scarf. Doesn't she just look divine? After that was finished she started on another pink scarf. I do believe she said that this one will be for me. I'll be anxiously awaiting it's completion!

Then there's the new Miley Cyrus CD that she just picked up with the money she had been saving. What's even better? With the purchase of the CD you get a free 60 day membership to mileyworld.com. I wasn't too terribly thrilled with the fact that I still had to give my CC #. I know it won't be billed but I also know how these things work. They just hope you'll miss canceling before that time so they can bill you for the next year. Little do they know I'm crossing off the days on my calendar so they're not getting me, no siree. Now if she wants to save her money and pay for it herself, that we can do.

On top of that her best friend's coming over for a sleepover tonight. Learning a new hobby, getting a new CD, joining a fan club of my favorite singer in the whole world, and having a sleepover with my BF sure sound like great fun to me! If she could manage to score tickets to see The Jonas Brothers in concert tomorrow night in Baltimore, I do believe her world would be perfect.
