Gluteus Maximus

2010-10-06T19:28:00.001-07:00

Tonight my daughters picked Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book as their bedtime story. In the book there is a part that reads,"some on their stomachs, and some on their fannies." I asked my 5 year old daughter if she knew what a fanny was. She looked at me and said,"Uh, No." I explained it was her butt and she sassily said, "Actually Mom, you're wrong, thats my Gluteus Maximus." I was laughing so hard I just said your right.

Elizabeth joined a performance group on Monday. They are doing a montage of Beatles songs. It is called "Can't beat the Beetles". So far she has learned the steps and songs to Can't Buy Me Love, All You Need Is Love, and Octopus Garden. She is having a blast. She performs at Wheeler Farm at the end of June.

Malea started to read by herself a few weeks ago and is doing great. She is currently reading Hello Kitty books and Dick and Jane books.

Both of the girls have started to love board games, lately it has been the game of Life, and Go Fish.

Catching Up...

2010-03-18T19:52:00.000-07:00

I have a goal to catch up and be more regular in posting to our blog. Since our last posting Christmas has come and gone (along with all of the recitals and concerts), we have rung in a new year, lost a couple of teeth, had all of the aunties for a visit, won the 3rd grade spelling bee, was 7th in the school spelling bee, won the science fair for 3rd grade, flew to New York, walked to Canada, visited Niagara Falls, kept reading and singing, got a few haircuts, new dresses and grown a few inches.

Haircuts!

2009-11-07T23:09:00.000-08:00

Today we had a fun time at Aveda getting the girls haircut. Malea was concerned the entire time that the lady doing her hair was going to forget the front. Elizabeth Chit Chatted with her stylist the entire time. Their haircuts turned out to be very cute!

Vampire Teeth

Every morning and night I get to hear Malea ask, "Mommy are we going to Alex's airplane tomorrow, and then to the boat?" and I respond "No, That is not until April." After a moment of silence Malea asks, "Mommy, is tomorrow April?"

Yesterday she added,"and then you will leave us at the boat, and you and daddy will fly away...somewhere. "

Sledding

2009-01-02T23:59:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday we went sledding at Murray Park. We all had a great time. Elizabeth loved it and was a dare devil. She went down the big hill and over a jump. She is telling everyone about how she got "big air " off the jump and showing them the bruise she got. She also slid off her sled and scraped her lip and chin going down the little hill. Malea had fun sticking to the smaller hills.

2008-12-30T20:00:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls. The Stephans, David and his mom all did them for my birthday.

New Glasses!

2008-11-30T21:00:00.001-08:00

New Glasses! One pair is Red/Pink and the other is Blue/Purple. Elizabeth picked them out all by herself. They both have transition lenses as well. She chose to donate her old glasses to the children's hospital.

Sorry about the delay.

2008-11-19T23:23:00.000-08:00

With dancing, and singing and theater and more, I have kept the girls busy, tired and sore. (and mommy too.) But they love it. They have also taken to climbing the walls and the trees outside. Elizabeth is doing a good job teaching her sister to climb higher and higher.

Skeleton, Witch, or Princess???

2008-10-27T21:07:00.000-07:00

A funny story about my little witch and black kitty. After spending an hour waiting in the checkout line at the local craft and fabric store, Malea decided she wanted to be a skeleton. I had to tell her no, a word she is not used to hearing. I explained that once the fabric is paid for, you can not change your mind about what you want to be for Halloween.

Malea's newest song she sings is, " I want to be a skeleton, a skeleton, a skeleton. I want to be a skeleton, not a witch, or a pink witch, or a purple witch for Halloween". Over and over again while we are in the car. Elizabeth finds it cute and funny. Mommy is still making the purple witch costume.
