Princess Ballerina Bath

Maggie's bath was declared a princess ballerina bath. We pretended she was a princess ballerina and ended with her in princess ballerina pajamas and a "crown" we made of pipe cleaners. She tried it on and looked in the mirror and said "I just feel a little bit cute."



Then Hank had a turn making a robot helmet.

Self sufficient Hank

This boy just opened the car door, climbed in, buckled himself, and then closed the door behind him. Go Hank! Perfect timing too... It was raining and I really appreciated the help.

Even More Rock N Roll

James's facebook post from a few minutes ago:

"My boy did something at 4 that I didn't do until I was 20: take the mic at open mic night. He sang 4 refrains of Paradise City at Marilynn's Place."

Rock N Roll!

Hank got this awesome Phineas and Ferb guitar from Dude and Jaimee this Christmas. He noticed that it has the real knobs to attach a strap and he requested one with FLAMES. After a trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday, we were in business. With his and Maggie's "help" I whipped one up for him this morning. Check out those awesome rock n roll faces!

Big thanks to Alan Fraser for the genius idea for how to attach the strap -- no buttonholes! Hooray!

Hank's class Christmas party

His whole class sang and gave their parents gifts from the dollar tree then we all ate lunch in the cafeteria together. I got a coffee mug for my "tall caramel macchiatos" and James got those awesome googly glasses. Excellent choices Hank!

Dance open house

My goodness at all the cuteness! Maggie really did well at open house last week. The teacher used REAL dance terms and I was impressed at how much they knew. Then the whole family and Grandmama went out to eat for supper. Fun night!
