Wheel Adventures

Look at my girls....… Bike riding in the park, enjoying their summer.

When I see them, I see me...having fun in the hot summer sun.

Princess Fifi wheel-y going fast

Sweetheart singing wheel-y loud

"Bicycle, Bicycle....…I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle"

Cookie is fast and furious as she drifts and donuts on her BIG WHEEL.

They wanted a wheel adventure after biking they put on their inline and classic four wheel skates for some dancing in the streets.

Can you guess which is Princess Fifi, Sweetheart and Cookie just by her skates??

Cookie carefully maneuvers around as she finds her skating legs.

Sweetheart is an absolute natural in her skates...... 

Give Princess Fifi a hand.....

--Special Thanksgiving luncheon--

I had a very special lunch date today with Sweetheart and Cookie. 

The school hosted a Thanksgiving luncheon for the students and parents. 

We had roast turkey and gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner roll, cranberry sauce, 1/2 pint of milk, and pumpkin cake with whipped topping.

happy parents and hungry kids

There was a long line of parents joining their kid for lunch today. 

The tables were festively decorated for the occasion

 I asked my girls what they were thankful for this year.

"We're THANKFUL for YOU, MOMMY"

Sweetheart told me,"You make my heart feel as full as my tummy," 

Cookie complimented me with, "You're sweeter than the whip cream on my pie." 

I love you.......

silly boys, camping is for girls.........

Bam has a camping trip this weekend.

So the girls and I went on the search to price some cold weather camping stuff.

Bammy could wear this brightly colored hat
while playing baseball in the dark

 Bam could bring in a lost plane
to land safely with this flashlight

"This is as soft as a giant marshmallow. I'm getting sleepy."

I'm certain no one else has laughed as much as we did in Aisle 14!

Having a great day.....

let's get to the pointe.........

It takes an artist to be a dancer  

"Mommy, I have a new dance routine"

Ballet is a way of life

Pirouette Sweetheart

Dance is an expression of time and emotions through movement. 

My girls choreograph different routines to all types of dance especially ballet. 

They love theatrical arts, dance and performance. They dance from the soul and they dance everywhere. 

Give the girls a stage and they'll perform like they were at the Lincoln Center.

growing pains

It is time to think about back-to-school, which is just around the corner.

Getting four little ones ready for school is no easy task.

We've have to get the doctors appointments, dental appointments, school registration and school supplies before we think about clothes, shoes and backpacks!

Today is registration day for Cookie and Sweetheart at the elementary school.

The view from the window

I was handed pages and pages of forms to fill out for both of them. My hand was so tired after filling everything out in duplicate! (whew.......)

It never fails, I always begin to feel the blues when my children head off to school every year. I feel exact like I felt when they went off to their very first day of Montessori. 

Every year I'm always the mom standing outside the classroom with a tear in her eye waiting to rush back in the moment my child should cry out.

But they don't cry out nor do they ever cling to my leg. They're always happy, ready and eager to begin the school year. What can I say? My kids love school.

It helps having people like Ms. Jo, Ms. Christine and Ms. Sue at the school. They helped me with my registration documents today and always show care and concern for my girls. Plus I'm always just a phone call away or 42 steps..........(but who's counting)
