Sunny Day Pictures

Today was the second sunny weekend day in our area. Oh, how have we missed the sun.

Erika pretends to be circus kitty complete with hoop to jump through.


Miranda feels the need to wear her sunglasses inside the house as her eyes are not used to all of this light.



Catie is just happy to get in on the picture fun.

Center for Wooden Boats Field Trip

Monday morning

Today was a busy morning. After we dropped Erika off at school, Miranda and Catie had a swimming lesson at the YMCA. Catie is in the pink and Miranda is in the blue.



Here Miranda practices the backstroke with teacher Alissa.


And now it is Catie's turn.



Erika was named star of the week this week. One of the benefits to being star of the week is having lunch with your family. So the three of us headed over to the school to have lunch with our star. No pictures were taken during lunch as I had to fight Miranda for my PB&J sandwich. Guess she was hungry after swimming.

After lunch the kids have free choice. So Erika decided to read her sisters a Clifford the dog book. (Still going with the theme of Catie in pink and Miranda in blue)

Then it was time for us to go home. Although I think C & M wanted to stay. Do you think Erika's teacher would notice two additional students in her class? Hmmmm.

Science Center field trip!

With 12 adult chaperones for 23 kids, I was only in charge of Erika and her pal Zoe.

More jump party fun

In anticipation of Santa

Cookie decorating

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house
All the children were stirring . . . decorating cookies

Erika is in the baked goods spirit, down to her PJs.



Miranda loved the cinnamon disks. yum.


Catie made this one for Grandma Kathy.


We used the little tubes of icing for decorating ease. However, that medium leads to Jackson Pollack cookie decorating.


Finally, the cookies to be left for Santa tonight.

Sunrise!
