Kate the Ballerina


Last week Kate was kicked out of dance class (ok not literally kicked out, but the teacher asked her to leave because she was sticking her tongue out at Miss Lori and when asked to stop, refused).
I just had to report that this week during dance class she did significantly better and even got a thumbs up from her dance teacher!
I know she is a little spitfire, but she is also very sweet and loving.

How could you not love this girl?

Budding Artists

"Hailey's Rainbow" 4 years old


This makes me smile.
I hope I never forget the small things my kids do that brighten my day.
Hailey could sit at her desk for hours with a plain piece of paper and a crayon and be completely content.
Let's just say I keep paper, crayons, glue, and scissors in bulk.
Yes, I get about ten (no joke) of these a day (the first handed to me at 7:00 am on my bed), but I love em all. I have a hard time throwing any of them away.
Kate enjoys rolling her artwork up like a scroll and then letting it unroll in front of me to reveal her newest piece of art.
These are just a few of my favorites for today.





"Kate's Family of H's"


In true second child behavior Kate knows how to write H's (obviously because Hailey writes them all the time)  and not K's.

The rest of the artwork was drawn by Hailey. I love this Christmas tree and the two princesses!

Hailey said the pink princess was me and the purple one was her.

Hey, Where Your Reindeer?


Our sweet Kate asked the classic question, "Hey, where your reindeer"?
