ballet and basketball

I hope you enjoy these pics.  We've been busy the month of  FEBRUARY with a little ballet and a lot of basketball.  The kids are having a blast with their own activities and they show support to each other as we drag them around to ALL the activities.

This one might go in her album (or on the wall) of our little ballerina.

Elijah showed great strides in his first basketball season.  He learned the aspect of team work and passing the ball.  He was agressive at rebounding and, of course, loved to shoot.  He practiced with Mommay a few times at the hoops at school and gained confidence in grabbing the passes and taking shots and making some baskets.  He was on a team with first and second grade kids from Tom McCall anda few of them were in his class. GO PURPLE PANTHERS!

The cheering section.  Grandma brought treats for the girls.  Corinne twirls for the b-ballers during halftime.

My Funny Valentines

We tried a real science experiment and mixed borax and boiling water.  Result: They make crystals on pipe cleaners if left overnight.

I heart them, too!

The kids went right to work when I set out their classroom valentines cards.  Corinne could copy the letters from the list of names and then write her own on the other side (only problem was she didn't actually know who it was for unless some one else read her the name.)  The system worked though and they had them done in only one evening and a morning.  They stuffed them in their boxes to bring to school. 



Here Ruby is raiding Corinne's goodies.






 

We had lobser ravioli with homemade alfredo sauce.

I made chocolate gonache cupcakes complete with personalized notes on top.
