1) Liv continues to love kindergarten - here's her first official school picture. Very exciting for us to see an actual (if partial) smile this year! Yesterday, Olivia and I stayed home after a couple of rough nights coughing and a low-grade fever - we made a trip to the doctor's office and came home with antiboiotics - bronchitis and an ear infection (only her second ever). She was definitely a little off yesterday but seemed in solid spirits this morning - she was very excited to return to school! I'm looking forward to getting a teacher report of her progress at conferences in a couple of weeks.
2) Masks: Last weekend, we made Grace's Halloween mask for preschool. Needless to say, she was super excited about doing this little project - and I'm happy she picked a mask that was possible for my not-artistically-incined self! I was majorly impressed with her dedication and focus - she worked on her mask for probably a hour. Liv also made a butterfly mask, but instead of posing with that, she was excited to wear her "cough mask" from the doctor's.
3) Yodeling: This definitely qualifies as random. I guess from some movie they watched at Shannon's the girls learned how to yodel. Grace was wondering around yodeling one day, and while I didn't catch on first, I finally figured out what she was doing - wish you could hear them - hilarious. But honestly, they're pretty good at it! You can see from the pictures, they thinking yodeling is great entertainment and an opportunity for silliness! :)
4) Camera skills: Olivia, since this summer especially, has been really interested in taking pictures with my camera. I took a random picture of the girls and Brian last night which resulted in her trying to take some too - she's especially interested in fixing hair and adjusting clothing as this was a part of our family picture taking process from a couple of weeks ago. (Pictures coming soon!) You can see that Olivia still needs some work on actually taking a picture of her target - this is the best picture of the 20 or so she took! :)
5) Drawing: Within seconds of coming down for breakfast and getting home from daycare, Grace asks for a blank-page and a pen. She's really into drawing these days - especially people. Here's some of her (and one of Olivia's) blank-page creations.
Olivia's...family, favorite words, and practice e's.
When I asked her what this was, Grace started to tell me
this was a butterfly, but she quickly changed her story
telling me it was just "something cool."
Grace's people - pretty decent!
