A couple months ago, the local ballet company put on a fundraiser. The ballet students dressed as various princesses, sold tickets and rotated the mini-princesses around to different stations and activities. Here is our little princess as she enjoyed her day:
This week is my turn to teach Micah's preschool group. Here are some pictures I took of the kids while they tried their hand at chopsticks:
Yesterday, after Micah was feeling better and before Autumn started feeling sick, they played knight & princess together. They marched around the house, Micah always ahead of Autumn in order to slay the dragons.
Last night, Clint and I went on a rare date. After our movie ("The Prestige"; it was awesome!), we really felt that we needed to hurry back and let our sitter go home. So we asked our waiter to just box up our food (it hadn't come yet), and we left. When we got home, we found that the sitter was holding Micah on her lap downstairs because he'd woken up moaning. Literally one minute after this, he coughed (mixed with not feeling well & being out of it, this is always a sure sign of yucky things to come in our house), I grabbed him and bolted up the stairs to the bathroom. So he's got the flu. And that sitter was dangerously close to being covered in...well, I'll be nice and not say it.
Anyway, after the other two kids and I got home from church, we checked on the poor little guy again. And Autumn decided to make him feel better by rubbing his back:
My children, as most, ADORE candy!! So much so that when I told them they would need to eat these messy Pixie Sticks outside, they didn't even stop to put on their shoes (but they didn't complain when I tossed them their coats. It is, after all, thirty degrees outside.) Ahh, sugar!!
