Pageant Queens

(I love this picture and the crooked smile reminds me of the Rugrats.)

We decided to put on a beauty pageant and the girls and I had a lot of fun dressing up putting on make up and practicing for Dad. We even had a runway and crowns for all of them as winners. All the girls did a great job with their dance for the talent portion but I was most surprised with Paige she just kept dancing and dancing and didn't want to stop. Paige loves to get dressed and put the necklaces on and off. She tries to dress herself every morning and loves going through the laundry to put all the clothes over her head. So Cute! Dad was a great audience for our show.

Soccer Season

Soccer season was a lot of fun this year. I was Cloe's Soccer Coach. She did a great job playing and learning. The whole team was a lot of fun and we had two games and even though we didn't officially keep score our team won both games. Yeah!! Go Tigers! (That was the team name that the kids came up with.)

We've also started Dance Classes. I'm teaching two Ballet/Jazz classes and a private lesson my six and up class is a lot of fun they are just eager to learn and seem to hang on my every word. :) My younger class, includes my children, and they don't really want to listen or they just can't listen for so long, so I'm experimenting with different strategies for the class. My Private lesson is for someone who is Autistic and she is my age and it's really nice to be able to do everything that she likes and wants to do.

We have also started preschool with some friends and the girls are enjoying the time although I really can't tell if Cloe is paying attention and just doesn't look like it or she's just not paying attention. Maybe Cloe needs to do something without mom. :)

Face Paint

The Girls wanted their faces painted so I did my rendition of a butterfly. We had fun with it, but there are still traces of the paint left on their faces.
