T-1 Perfomance Artist

T-1 has been busy entertaining us. Last week was her 3rd Grade program honoring Vets. She was front row and singing her little heart out. Doesn't she look like one of the little christmas angels with the perfect little 'O' mouth? She was so serious through the whole thing and didn't look up much because I kept trying to make her smile by making faces at her.
This week was her piano recital. She played 4 pieces (one I got to play with her!) and she was marvelous. She even introduced her songs - this was a first. The recital is held at a Retirement home/care center, so not only were students and parents there, but many of the residents came to enjoy the children's music. T-1 played all her pieces from memory and we were so proud of her. What a special girl she is!

Fun with T-3

Attention Grandmas! T-3 loves this ladybug! It is at Chesi-Jo's and everytime we go in, she gets it out and rides it. Here, she has picked a hole in her tights so they ripped off. I was in the process of buying some new ones when this face happened. How could I not stop and photograph?

The Jammie shots are after the big sisters went to bed. A little cuddle and singing time with Mommy and Daddy. Look at those curls. Words fail to express how much I love this girl. Her little smile and all her big words brighten my life.

I think her Daddy likes her a bit too, what do you think?

Boo!

Halloween is always a blast with the Princesses. They attended the church party (which was wonderful, thanks Marcee!) , had parties at school and of course, went trick-or-treating with Mommy and some other little friends. T-2 was Glinda the Good Witch of the North and T-3 was Barbie as the Island Princess. Her name is "Ro" (short for Rosella), but T-3 says "I be Wo!"

T-1 is the good witch of the south. She chose the costume herself. Originally, it was supposed to be a light-up witch, but TRAUMA! Queen Mommy waited too long. Still she looked fabulous in her purple and black.

They got a lot of candy, but only kept 10 pieces each, leaving the rest on the porch for the Good Witch of Halloween to pick up. In its place, she left the new Tinkerbell movie. Everyone was quite please with the arrangement.

Princesses on Ice

We took the princesses to Disney on Ice in Oakland. They had such a great time. Gran met us there and provided the swag. Our only regret: Where was Aurora? The whole show, T-3 said, "Ont Awawa." (That's "I want Aurora" for those non-toddler speakers out there.) All the other Disney Princesses and their princes showed up, but no Sleeping Beauty. Is Pocahontas a princess?

Punkin Princesses

The Princesses picked Pumpkins proudly! We visited the pumpkin patch this weekend and everyone picked one out. The Queen picked that cool white one. I'm calling it the albino pumpkin - appropriate, don't you think?

The girls love going to this farm where they can ride the ponies, go through the maze and feed the goats. We got a cart and wheeled that little T-3 around with the pumpkins. It was very fun. Afterward, we all shared a bag of Candy Corn!

Go Cavemen!

The Princesses cheered for the Cavemen on Friday night with the other Junior Cheerleaders at half time. They are so cute and had such a fun time, even if it was really cold. They did a dance to the "Camp Rock" theme song and did two cheers. Thanks to their enthusiasm, the Cavemen beat Sheldon in triple overtime. (needless to say, the Junior cheerleaders left early and were already asleep when the Cavemen pulled it off!

N-Y-C! What is it about you?

So the big 3-5 girl weekend in the big apple was last week. It was fabulous. Yummy food, lots of shopping and three Broadway shows in 3 days. Legally Blonde, A Tale of Two Cities, and Mary Poppins - how do you like my diverse interests? Queen Mommy and her friend Lady Shell visited all the B's - Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Bloomingdales... Seeing the park and the temple were really special. We spent some time (and money of course) in the American Girl Store too(I can't believe they are retiring Samantha!) Love you Shell! Thanks for a lovely b-day trip!
