When I found out that this week’s Theme Thursday was DIY: Do It Yourself<\/a>, I was a little stumped. We haven’t exactly been doing any house projects lately, and I’ve pretty much blown all of my crafty projects on Crafty Tuesday.<\/p>\n

So I thought I would try to capture Addie as she “do it myself<\/strong>, Mama!” since that is pretty much all I hear these days. And that didn’t exactly pan out either. She and I have been a little bit on the “outs” this week. (Just picture LOTS of time in the corner, mostly for Addie…but occasionally for me, too! There have been numerous temper tantrums this week.)<\/p>\n

And then last night, Em asked if I would help her figure out what she needed to do for her jog-a-thon for school next week. I told her of course I would help her, but as far as the phone calls and asking for sponsors? I told her “You will have to do it yourself<\/strong>.” Ohhhh…Ding, ding, ding!<\/p>\n

So here is Em, drummin’ up business for her jog-a-thon next week and proving you can do it yourself <\/strong>if Mama helps you write out a little script. She is expecting to finish 10 laps (which would be 1.25 miles!) and right now if she does, she would raise over $200! Go Em! I think she can do it…she is after all her Mama’s girl!<\/p>\n

\"Drummin'<\/a><\/p>\n

And there is absolutely nothing cuter than listening to her read the script, and the look on her face when everyone said “yes.”<\/p>\n

I unfortunately did not set up the photo session very well. I was trying to do dinner, baths, and help her with her pledge drive, so I just snapped a quick, few photos – but didn’t get any great photos. However, I like this one and I tried to salvage it a bit. I’m sure there are plenty more great photos over at Stacy’s<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
