Princess Ballet Camp "Recital"

Here's a little bit of the performance I got to see today :o) Scarlett's second from the end in all pink.

Working hard...like Cinderella

Scarlett found this dress in her closet and decided it was just like Cinderella's "working hard" dress. (It's actually a dress her grandparents brought her back from Germany a couple years ago). She started singing "Sweep, sweep, nightingale." Love it. It actually kind of makes sense...maybe those should be the real lyrics!

Then she soon got tired of working hard and got ready for the ball. Her arms are blurry because she's twirling.
And in the meantime, this one loves to dress up too. She likes to put everything on her head. Here she's going for Aloha Kitty.

Aquarium MADNESS

Tuesday's trip to the aquarium absolutely wore me out! It all started out well and good...there were fish, penguins, playtime...then we heard the rain move in right as we were leaving for nap time. Well, we thought we'd just get a little wet (maybe a lot wet). Then we got a little closer to the exit and saw it was also hailing. Well, so much for the run for it plan. We ended up there an extra hour and a half. Guess the parking guys were happy for my extra money :o)

We tried to get a picture of the crew. Haha...like we had a chance of a good one there! 6 kids 3 and under - Grayson, Scarlett, Elle, Chloe, Raymond and Emma. Yeah, Elle didn't want to take a picture. The other picture I got had the other 5 sort of looking and the very tail end of Elle as she took off out of the clam.

We did get to check out the new Parakeet exhibit. You can buy a stick of food to feed them. Scarlett thought it was all well and cute while the bird looked at her stick, but the minute he tried to actually climb on it she screamed and threw it. Haha... She was screaming left and right as the birds came to "attack" her. Elle thought they were fun though!

Ballet girl

Scarlett is LOVING princess ballet camp. The first day was rough because her shoes hurt, but once we got that fixed up, she's doing great! She follows along with the teacher and reports that she has lots of fun! This afternoon she looked at me and said "Mommy, can you say 'Arabesque'? My teacher showed me that today." Then she demonstrated for me. She told me all about her tutus and her tiaras that she gets to wear and the teacher had "Jasmine music!" 2 more days of camp, then I'm not sure what I'll do with the girl :o)

11 months

Our little stinker is 11 months old today!!

Time to gear up for the birthday party, just 2 1/2 weeks away!! Can't believe she's almost 1!

7 years

On Saturday Cameron and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. He was post call and left again today for the oral surgery fishing trip, so we decided not to make big plans. We spent a family day at the Children's Museum (something we had hoped to do the weekend before that didn't pan out!). We all had a good time!

Climbing in the toddler area

Driving a boat!
Trying to follow sissy through the tunnels, but she got distracted.
Checking out at Winn Dixie
Loved this silly face :o)
Pushing her cart and waving to me
Scarlie shopping

We like to call this one "Ruckus"

She's into EVERYTHING! And don't you dare try to tell her she can't...screaming will ensue!

I was wondering how long it would take her to find that kitchen...

Her new favorite toy...Scarlett's glowdoodle. She actually knows how to draw with it (when the pen isn't shoved in her mouth)
She found something shiny peeking out from under the couch. She insisted it go in her hair.
Another favorite pastime. She knows the princess bin. And the best part is to pull it out halfway and start chucking small plastic princesses all over the floor behind her.
And don't you dare leave a sippy cup unattended. She WILL find it.
