Two Front Teeth

It happened again...

she lost another tooth. If this keeps up I will have to go back to pureeing her food!

Dancing Sunday

Today was Alexa's dance recital. I was not allowed to take pictures during it so here is the picture taken backstage after I dropped her off with her group. They did a wonderful job and Alexa wanted to eat out downtown to celebrate. Which means we got to visit with the bears that are decorating Church Street while we were down there. Here is one of her favorites.

We also stopped for ice cream on the way home and she tried out the race car bear too.

Note the hidden Chloe in the next picture.

Tap Routine- Love

Fourth from the right... the bun in her hair... keep your eyes on that one!

Dress Rehersal

This afternoon Alexa had her dress rehearsal for her recital this weekend. I got her to pose in the ballet costume... just barely.

She was actually out sick today as she wasn't feeling great this morning. She rebounded as she rested though. Normally I would have kept her out as she was not in school however her illness was more related to something she ate and not contagious. Also to miss would have been hard on her whole class. They did a great job. I took some videos of the practice and if blogger cooperates, I will upload them.

Brownies to Juniors

Today was Chloe's bridging ceremony from Brownies to Juniors. Alexa was the photographer.

Here they are reading parts of the poem.

Chloe crossing the "bridge" into Juniors. I should also mention that it was crazy hair day which explais why Chloe has a stuffed snake braided into her hair. Well, it sort of explains why.

Getting her wings pinned on.

Getting her Girl Scout bag-o-stuff.

Showing off her perfect attendance award.

Hat Day

The last full week of school for the kids marks their school's annual spirit week. Today is hat day. Alexa wanted to wear my old Girl Scout Camp hat.

Well, she wanted to wear it until she saw what Chloe created to wear...

Then she wanted to make one of her own except she only decided it at bedtime. So she wore the hat she started out with... until she got to school and took it off. See a pattern here?

Garden Blooms

Look...

This is a lupine that was started from seeds gathered on Cranberry Island in Maine. I am so excited to have it blooming! Yes, it is only one but we have a  start here people. My very own lupine blooming. Yay!
