Big Sister at the Bridal Show

Today was the bridal show in Waterloo. Make A Wish had children whose wishes were granted be models for the different bridal shops. In addition the girls were able to get their hair done by a local stylist. Here's big sister all dolled up. The lady she is posing with was her bridal/bridesmaid escort. While talking to her we found out that on Monday she will be leaving to begin teaching in South Korea at a private school. Very interesting.

Middle Sister's Thoughts on First Grade

My teacher's name is Miss Enslin. I like first grade. I like to do math. First grade is fun. I like to draw on my dry erase board with Norah, Grace and Kaylee. At center time I like to get out my reading tub and get out an animal and find a spot to read.

Make A Wish Walk

Here are the three sisters at the Make A Wish walkathon. They all went right for the face painting, even though I had warned them it would need to be washed off tonight. Don't they look like beautiful butterflies?

A Word From Middle Sister

I went to gymnastics today and have a new skill: handstand on the low beam. YAY!! Little Sister just started gymnastics this summer. She smiles during the entire class. She has a skill, too, on the uneven bar. And Big Sister has managed to add two new skills over the summer. We are having a lot of fun.

Newest Fad

The sisters have been busily collecting these bracelets after finding out they were the newest fad. Seems their mother is a bit behind the times. We have been to Walgreens, CVS and Claire's in an effort to be in fashion. Aren't they pretty?
Just like the the jelly bracelets of the 80s - only these are in different shapes - fast food, zoo animals, farm animals, sea animals, diva, glam, fruits, transportation are just a few of the different types.

Middle Sister's Weekend

Middle Sister and Big Sister are taking ice skating lessons. Today was our second lesson. We both know a little bit more than last time. Middle Sister fell down three times (according to her). Big Sister fell down two times (per her counting as well). Their friend, Peaceful Girl, was also at lessons, so they were able to have fun with her during the free skate time. The next lesson isn't for two more weeks because of Easter. Middle Sister managed to get around the entire ice rink. Big Sister managed to get a blister.

Big Sister and Middle Sister do a Double Down Dog

Big Sister and Middle Sister tried out some yoga today at Field of Yoga. They were skeptical prior to the class, but both of them told me how much they loved their morning there and were hoping to go back next Saturday. Unfortunately at this point today was a one time only event. I am hoping they start some yoga classes for kids because Big and Middle definitely want to sign up.
