End of the school year party for their old school!
One of the girls’ best friends has a little brother still attending the Montessori school they went to last year. So we got invited to their party and got to visit old friends and a favorite teacher. Finn got her face painted and they played in the woods for two hours.
Goofball
Sometimes Fallie humors and me and lets me capture her soul.
Flowers from Mumblelard and the Skull Girls in a glass vase shaped like my dad’s face.
Saturday breakfast: Finn, pigs-in-blankets, egg white omelet (already eaten), reading a book.
Navy Converse and Deery shoes*
We took the train to free museum day over spring break. The girls whispered to each other, fell against each other laughing, swung their dangling feet, were very sweet to each other and proved to us that they are still best friends. It made me very happy.
* I wish they came in my size…
Finn found the shiny egg
The neighborhood Easter egg hunt has been postponed this year*. It is to be an end of spring break pizza party with an egg hunt, games and treats. To help deal with the disappointment of the week long delay, the skull girls attended a different Easter egg hunt this year. Finn was one of the lucky kids who found a shiny egg and here is her prize.
* Half of the regular attendees were out of town this year so we are doing to egg hunt next Saturday…
What the neighbor taught Fallie
snow in Atlanta!
We got three inches of snow on Friday and the girl children had so much fun. They had Friday and today off of school (teacher work days? Lincoln’s Birthday? President’s Day?) so it has not been easy to post anything. I tried to capture some of the craziness on my camera and will post more soon.
birthday cake
This year’s cake was red velvet (again) and had four layers (three is the most I have done before). The photo doesn’t show how good the glittery gold icing looked. The dragon was left over from the goody bags but matched perfectly.
that is not a carrot!
mini donkeys!
We took a short walk after our Thanksgiving feast and went down to the farmhouse. They have lamas, sheep, horses and two mini donkeys. I think they just wanted something to eat but let’s pretend they were excited to see us.
pin the tail on the squirrel was a huge success!
I don’t know if it went so well because the game was smaller than normal, or if it was just a good crowd, but this was the best pin the tail game ever!
Finn’s bed with Gopher Guts and doodling
Fallie’s bed
fake sleepover
A new friend from school came over today for three hours. It was one of the most successful play dates ever - that means there was no fighting or arguing! Very rare indeed! When Fall’s friend was gone, she asked me if we could have a fake sleepover. What is that? Fallie said, “We go put on pajamas right now! I am very tired!” She has been in pajamas since 2:15 and is in bed now!
