Little Gymnast

The girls have talked about wanting to take gymnastics for awhile and what else do you do in the winter.  So Tuesday nights now have a new activity.  

The excitement from all 3 of them could not be contained!!!

The best part is they are in the same class and they love it!  Trudy can't wait to turn 3 so she can join the fun.  

Post gymnastic's relaxation or snack!

Report after class from the girls was they LOVED it and can they go tomorrow too.  EK then says Margaret was so strong on the barre.  She skinned the cat with no help and the teachers all came over to watch, she is really good mom!!  Margaret is full of strength and we knew that this would be something she could potentially really like and learn how to use that strength.  So back to gymnastics next week for the Manda ladies!!

Weekend fun in STL

We are down one car seat.  Etta Kate has moved to a booster seat.  She has been totally fine in her car seat and would have stayed but the buckle stopped working.  So on to a booster.

Lulu love!

The park is a must on trips to STL.

Oh Trudy!  Stinker screamed the entire way, yes 2 hours, but all smiles when we  got there.

Margaret trying the big monkey bars.  She did pretty well!

Walking the dogs in the golf course.

Celebrating the King's birthday!

Waking up early to go on a walk with Poppy alone!!

A much needed morning trip to Starbucks after a little someone did not sleep.

Smile is back.  100 day project.  

The class loved it!  EK was so proud. 

I love the class work outside the door.

100 Days of Kindergarten complete!!  Etta Kate loves school. We love OLLIS.  She is learning so much.  We have made great friends.  The mornings are still early and it is tough to be at school by 7:30 but we make it somehow!!
