Science Day, School Birthday

Today at preschool it was Science Day, and we celebrated Anna’s summer birthday – the first of many early birthday parties, I’m sure! I got to stay and help make a volcano explode, have fun with magnets, and experiment with bubbles. I think we’re going to have to do some science experiments this summer along with our craft projects…

A Very Merry Un-Birthday!

Dance Observation

The girls had dance observation last night.  I’m really getting excited for the recital, the dances are so cute!

Stretching out!

I am very impressed with how much Carolyn has learned in this next level of dance.  Her class changes formations a lot more – no more standing in two lines and just doing different dance steps from there.  Anna is in the very littlest class, so their strongest asset is cuteness!

BFFs

Anna doesn’t get to have so many playdates with her best friend Nikki lately, but we did manage to get them together today…and they were wearing the same shirt!

Two cute kids!

Little House Shawls

One of my favorite things to knit are small shawls – they hug your shoulders and provide a little extra bit of warmth, show off a beautiful single skein of yarn, and there are so many wonderful patterns you would never need to knit the same one twice!  Unless, of course, you have two girls, and you stumble across a pattern called “Little House Shawl”.

These were fun (and super easy) to knit.  More details about these projects can be found here and here.
