Joshis's first day of FIRST grade





Joshi went off to school Tuesday, as stylish is usual. She seemed a little nervous but came back happy. Not nearly as excited as last year though. It might have something to do with the 38 kids in her class. Hopefully, on Mondays board meeting the parents can persuade the school to split the class. Budget cuts are totally ruing the Welches school. Although I imagine its happening country wide.

The Smurfs



I was so happy to get to relive The Smurfs of my childhood with the girls this summer. The movie was just OK but I love that Smurf paraphernalia is all over the place. Yesterday I was able to buy Snurfette shirts in the girls sizes. They had to wear mine to the movie.

Joshi's sporty summer

Joshi has been a hula hooping queen lately. She did so well this summer on the hoop she has, that when we saw some big ones at the craft fair this weekend we bought 2 more. The biggest one is almost as tall as her ! She can now do 2 hoops at once and is trying to perfect a 3 hoop trick. The third is a small hoop on her arm. Pic below of the 3 hoop trick.

Last week was the first time we went roller skating at a rink, since Joshi really learned to skate. She has been skating on the back deck with the skates she got for her birthday. But she finally got to show her stuff at the rink. Billi almost got the hang of it before we left.

Three weeks ago Joshi took her training wheels off. She noticed a few of her friends at the park 2 wheeling and didn't want to be left behind. I thought since Joshi is a little scaredy cat it was going to be an ordeal. But 1 and 1/2 days later and she was an independent biker. I think its great that she has had all these successes during the summer. She needed some more confidence ( in things other than her sense of style)

Early morning block building



Panties and swim suits are not unusual outfits for summer mornings. The girls were getting along surprising well this morning. We decided to put our large set of blocks out at hands reach. It hasn't been as bad as I had imagined, having the girls put them back on the shelves.

Camping out

We bought a new tent this year. We just tried it out. We went camping on the deck.

Little Zumba snuggled in as Joshi yawns. We did not know that the night would end at 2 am with Zumba peeing in the tent, on Elwood. OOPS! That was the end of camping.

These are the candle holders we made at Nature Girls.

What? everyone doesn't set their laptop up while camping? I could even use the WiFi on my ipad. I don't know why everyone doesn't camp in the backyard.
