I Gotta Fixit

This cracked me UP.

Just mowin' the sidewalk.

Hey Mom.

She stopped and said it was broken.

Then she positioned herself...

to "fix it".

For about 45 minutes.

I had to move her to a safe spot...apparently it was quite broken.

Keep in mind we don't even own a mower (ah, association living!)

Big sis had to give it a try.

for about 1 minute.

Then Charlotte took over again.

Big Helper

Believe it or not, those are folded washcloths.  She's gotten a lot better too.

She calls this her "Mni Mouse Ballerina" outfit.

Brigadoon

One perk of working at Pius is getting 2 free tickets for each play...AND knowing almost all the performers!

Sam love love loves the musicals.

To be taken again in 10 years!

Can You Help Me Put My Ballerina's On?

Still the first question out of her mouth.

Every. Single. Day.

A Bow

Part of the ballerina outfit for a few days.

Keens

There is some family in Lincoln that sells their purple Keen sandals to the local thrift place and has a girl just one size bigger than Samantha.  We currently own five pairs in different sizes (the next size up for Charlotte once she'll let me).  I fight Sam every year on wearing them but once she accepts that we are NOT buying flip-flops, she looooooves her Keens again.  Jeremy wears them too and just goes on and on about how much he loves them.  I wear Ahnu's, but since 3/4 of us wear Keens I'd say we're a Keen family.  

Yay for warm weather!

GG

We are so so so blessed to have my Grandma still with us.  She's had a rough year- she just lost another brother and brother-in-law (within the same week) and her back was having so many problems that she had to give up dancing for several months.  She's eagerly looking forward to trying again this week!  Both of the girls love her.  

I hope I look this good when I'm 77!
