Project 365 - Week 37

I can hardly believe that a week ago, we were in Louisiana, picking up our girls from Granny's house.  Now, we are on the verge of our fall schedule. Piano, dance, library trips, 'school'...  We will soon add theater to the mix.  I know.  If I ever ask why our schedule is so crazy, I should direct myself to the mirror.

We don't complain much.  These girlies keep it interesting.  ;)

I forgot to mention that the girls made these before they went to their Granny's house.  They're still there.  Gracie made the first one, Nator the second.  I'm pretty sure the "I think" goes with the 4th line. ;)

I haven't had the heart to erase them, or pick them up.  At least I have the pictures now. ;)

This was our view during the last full day at Granny's.  I'll share what we were doing soon.  It doesN'T involve riding horses.  ;)

Good-byes are hard.  A few tears shed, but they were glad to be home, too.  I've told them that it will be mom's turn to get spoiled at Granny's next time.  ;)

The girls were thrilled to start this canvas idea.  {Thanks, Londa!} Gracie knows mama likes hand-prints.  Little hand-prints make the best keepsakes, yes?  And can you tell that Nator loves Tinkerbell?  :)

Piano lessons.  Nator lit up ear to ear when she was told she's learning a song that most students don't learn till 9 months in. 

Dance lessons.  Did I happen to mention that I scheduled 3 classes in a row?  Nator is taking only 2 of the 3, but they are both thrilled.  Me?  Looking in the mirror now. ;)

I was told her ability to stretch like this was a sign of good hips.  Still.  It makes me giggle.  Reminds me of those turkey legs people eat at the Texas Rodeo.

I'm pretty sure we were low-riding all the way home from the weight of our library-jam-packed-backpacks.  Maybe if I cranked up my music, it would have made the mom-taxi look younger and hipper, yes? ;)  I love that they get so excited about books.

And Gracie has another dance lesson.  {I know.  Looking in the mirror again.}  They were so excited to see friends from last year's dance and friends from scouts they thought they wouldn't see.  We're not in scouts this year.  We had to cut something. :)

Still a bit too much sun around here... Bring on the cooler weather!!!
