The Girls......and Daddy

While Nick was at Disneyland for a friend's birthday, we took the girls out for a day of fun. Of course this consisted of a train ride, the merry-go-round, lunch and creating your own cupcake.

 

 

Lily's creation

Cassie's creation Hello Kitty with a body. She of course had to add that detail.

 

 

 

 

To Go!

The pictures speak for themselves. Must I say more!!!!

Lets Dance

Is someone trying to give us the hint that she wants to start dance?

Well we know now that she is coordinated.

A Fall Bike Ride

Even though I am still waiting for a brisk Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving season, it was nice to grab the kids for a bike ride along the beach. Lily is a little devil on the bike. I think at 3 she would do fine without training wheels, but for my sanity they are staying on.

Fairy Flower Girl

Thank heaven for little girls. Moments like these put a huge smile on my face. I never know what the girls are going to look like each day until they emerge from their room.  By the end of the day I have mountains of dress-up clothes, hair accessories, jewelry, wands and a little of this and that thrown in. But in the end it is all worth it.

Little Miss Student of the Month

A week ago Pat and I received a letter from Cassie's teacher informing us that she was being chosen as October's Student of the Month. Of course it was to remain a secret, so that during the school assembly she would be surprised. Last Friday we attended the assembly as very proud parents. They hand out 9 of these awards per class, per year, and they have different categories from which the teachers can choose from. Cassie received hers for Academic Achievement in all fields. She was so cute and excited during the assembly when her teacher told her that she was chosen. Nick also received the Student of the Month award when he was in first grade so poor Lily has some big shoes to fill.
