Checking them out!

They are learning responsibility. They have really enjoyed checking out library books and then returning them each week. I am slowly letting go of some of my OCD and allowing them to check out more than one book a week...

I do love reading to them and the new library books are so exciting to them!

Kate's penguin. They love the crafts after story time.

Jack's Baskets

Jack had a good day. His Boys and Girls Team won their game and is undefeated. They are ranked #1 with one other undefeated team that they will face next weekend. This league has a tournament in two weeks with seeded teams! Jack has had a lot of fun playing on this team, and definitely learned a ton from some really good players. He has scored a basket in a few of the games.

The Upward league is a little less strict with rules. The boys are not quite as good and Jack is really aggressive on the team. He scored 10 points in his game today. That is the most he has ever scored in one game. If you ask him, he will tell you he only made four baskets though, because one of the baskets he made, he stole the ball and broke away and scored, but the referee told him he couldn't steal the ball from a player on the other team he is not guarding. I told him his mother still counts the points! This league doesn't keep score or have a tournament.

 Here is one of his shots. This one actually didn't go in, though.

Girls are getting better at watching the games (popcorn helps!)

 Kate, especially was intrigued with this car.

Baths

The girls have started to take showers more and more, but will still get in the bath. When they do, they will play in the tub for a while! I took a picture of them this morning.

This silly girl was playing dress up after her bath and put this 3-6m shirt on from their first year. Think she has grown a little?

First Haircuts...(Anna and Kate) AND First Manicures

Okay, they were just trims. But they needed it! Elizabeth got more off than the other two because of her old twirling habit that left one side of her hair length a lot shorter than the other. It is catching up though. She even got some layers. They loved sitting in the cars, getting their hair cut and the manicures. They each chose a few different colors for their hands. Really they loved everything about the day...
