The Perfect Princess Birthday Party


Sarah's birthday party was quite a challenge this year. It is hard enough having friends over on the boat, let alone energetic party-goers. My mom's house was out of the question, too. My grandmother has really taken a turn for the worse with her dementia and she is now living with my mom. So, Big Vanilla came to the rescue! The play gym was awesome!


The first hour of her party was strictly play time on the equipment. Then, the girls got ready for the Princess Ball. They donned their dress-ups, designed their own necklaces and applied make-up. They loved it! Then, they played a game of "Dance Freeze" and a game of "Musical Purse" (like hot potato). As the girls got out, they were to wash their hands and have a seat at the table for cake.




And, on a side note: Sarah is now 4, even though her party was 2 weeks after her birthday. She said she couldn't turn 4 until her party! Silly girl!

Sarah's Ballet


Sarah absolutely loves ballet. She had a smile plastered on her face for a few hours after her first lesson. These videos are from her 3rd lesson.

Science Side Step...


Well, for the past 6 weeks or so we should have been studying the human body.... However, John has been so fascinated with Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes, that we haven't quite moved on... And, of course, we (I) have read A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne to add to the excitement.


Sarah is in the middle of one of her three outfit changes... Hence, the skin...

Fishing with Daddy

Daddy likes to fish with the kiddos while I work. You gotta listen to the 2nd video -- so cute.

Preparing

We will be starting kindergarten in September! At this point, I am really excited. The books have been ordered, and I am very close to having our plans laid out. We will be using the classical model, which, in a nutshell means that for the first 4 grades we will be focusing on learning facts, facts, facts. For a more detailed description of the trivium, see http://www.welltrainedmind.com/classed.html.



John designed a cover for the inflatable on his ship.

Rock-a-bye baby walking

Sarah was singing her version of "Rock-a bye baby" while taking off her rubber ladybug boots (originally, she wanted to wear them to bed).

Sorry about the neck pain...
