The Park

All my favorite people....

 Our wild child...this picture is blurry because she wants to go fast!  I was pushing her slowly and she kept pointing to the older child next to her.  He was squealing and going really high.  She usually loves the swing, but wouldn't even smile.  Then I realized - she doesn't like slow.  Big surprise.  When I pushed her fast, we got the smile!

His Great Success

Matthew conquered two big goals at the park last weekend.  He rode his bike faster and farther than ever and he crossed the monkey bars all the way!  Good work, Matthew. 

First Art Project

We found a great book for our Art time at school.  You learn a brief history of famous artists, then create your own "masterpiece" imitating their work or style.  I think we're really going to enjoy this.

Matthew's rendition of Starry Night by Van Gogh

Matthew entitled her painting The Mess

Outside

It's finally below 100 degrees - woohoo!  Time to head outside.

This was during Science...using his magnifying glass.

He's a ninja (I think).

OK - this is inside, but still cute!

Ballet, Here We Come!

 

 

Helen learned to spin!  She's so proud of her dancing (and so are we).

And, yes, I catch her before she falls into the dresser!

The best sound....

Vacation!

Checking out the fish tank at Rainforest Cafe.  She loves animals.

The living room camp-out with Daddy. 

Alan and Matthew checking out the fountain.

Ahhhh....

Headed to the Water park with Gram.

A dessert fit for a little boy.

They both loved the glass elevators.
