Holiday Time I

The Holiday season began with a pilgrimage to the Nutcracker Ballet.  

Gingerbread houses √

Maya's favorite book series this year has been the "Dork Diaries".  After her heroine, Nicki tries her hand at ice skating, Maya is anxious to follow suit.  Goodbye horses, hello Lawson Ice Arena.  Eventually my kids will stick with SOMETHING!?!?!?  right? 
{Yes, mom, I remember that I tried ballet AND soccer AND gymnastics AND viola AND Girl Scouts....... before I finally found horses and track in 5th grade.}

 

Fall 2016

This Halloween we had an equestrian (of course) and a butterfly (who painted her own face with markers in one of those arguments that went like.....
Genna: "Mom make me a butterfly face."
Mom: "Like this?" (shows some images on Google)
Genna: "No!  That's not what I mean!!!!!"
Mom: "OK, do you want it like a fairy?"
Genna: "NOOOOO!  You never do it right!!!"
Mom: "OK, here are some washable markers, make sure you use a mirror" (Exit Scene)
Genna: "Waaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

Tim Allen would be proud.

Jumping for joy, just because.  

Maya was the BEST HULA HOOPER in second grade!  I think that runs in the family.
