All Smiles

Eliza was all smiles today after her nap. We snapped a few pictures of that precious grin and love it!

Spa Day

Today Avery, Eliza, and I had an at-home girls only spa day. One of us did the pedicures and one of us did the makeup.  I'm thinking maybe one of us needs a little more practice! I love the way Eliza's valentine heart turned out on her toes. 

Valentine's Tradition

I love our tradition to decorate Valentine sugar cookies with our friends Jackson and Leilah. I did it as a kid with my mom and now I keep the tradition with my kids!  Love, love, love it. 

Homework Helper

Ethan loves Eliza. When I looked down today as he was reading his take home reading book he was holding her hand. She makes doing homework more bearable. 

King of the Jungle

Thanks to Aunt Amy we were able to go see the play Tarzan with some friends at Hale Center Theatre. Robby, Amy's friend, builds the sets there. 

We had a great time. Ethan loved the chameleon and Avery loved the flamingos. I was blown away by the girls doing the aerial acrobatics. We've been spoiled with plays this year. 

Scientist

Ethan is learning to be a scientist in first grade. He came home the other day and shared the experiment he did in class. 

We used a bowl if milk and some food coloring. 

He loved showing us how he could make the food coloring run away and dance. I love that he loves learning! 

Our Little Ballerina

After sitting through countless soccer games, football games, baseball games and practices for her older brother Avery finally got to do something just for her!

I found a beginning dance class and signed her up. She was so excited. We signed up on a Friday and class started on Tuesday, but that was nearly too long to wait. 

We HAD to have a leotard, tutu, and ballet shoes, because that's what real ballerinas wear.  She's loving her class and I love hearing all about it and watching her practice!
