Eating Out

This is not something we seem to do very often. We much rather buy some really good quality food to make at home. However when we do eat out or get take out, one of our favorites is a Chinese/Sushi restaurant. So yummy. We decided to take the girls since Emmi has been asking if we can go out to eat. They did really well so I think we can make this happen more often. Not the best pics since taken from my phone.

First day of school

Today was the first official day of preschool for the girls. Jacob handles the drop off but called me as soon as it was done. Moo just walked right in like nobody's business. For Emmi it was old hat. When I picked up Moo, Ms Wiley told me that she was fearless, jumped right in to everything they did and was first for everything.

And so it begins....

Why not go for it all at once. We now have a ballet dancer, gymnast, and 2 school girls.

At our community center they have ballet classes for kids so Emmi said she would like to give it a go. Since it was a last minute decision I had already offered to watch my nephews which worked great since they entertained Moo during the class. Tyler took over a hundred pictures. Here are a few pics that made the cut.

Here is Emmi at her gymnastics class about to jump on a trampoline.

Then doing a flip.
Then here are the girls walking in to school since we had meet your teacher day. Mixed emotions with Moo walking in.

Here is Moo in her class where right now there are only 4 kids one of whom is Sawyer (Griffin's little brother). We are super excited about her teacher as she is the best 1 year old teacher. Emmi's class has 12 kids which include her best friend Brooke and of course Robert. Wednesday this coming week will be their first day.

Vacation

We had a great time on our trip up to Massachusetts have many posts to catch up. We got lots of quality time with Alana which of course had to include a haircut for Emmi and I. We also got feather extensions in our hair.

She came with us when we went to check out the seals.

Being silly on the trolley ride to go see the seals.
We also had Lobster one night. It was too late for the girls to partake but they did check them out before bed.

Then we also had a visit with Great Grammy & Grandpy while in Gardner, not the best picture since I took it with my phone.

The girls also stayed up late while having a blast running around and playing with their cousins.

Moo also loved playing with Uncle Joey's dinosaurs. She had her pick of blocks or dinos. Dinos won. She would roar when playing with them too, so cute.

Vacation cont.. Boston Childrens Museum

One thing about vacation is it really helps you realize how fortunate we are to live in such an awesome area. Our Discovery Place Kids Museum is so much better than Boston Childrens since ours is focused towards young kids while Bostons tries to have something for everyone but we still had fun. Our passes to DPKs got us in free to Boston so it only cost us parking. Then we went to Uncle Peeders for a dinner party with friends.
Moo playing with a water table.
Another one.
E in the Wizard of Oz exhibit.
Emmi playing with bubbles in the bubble room. I think this was the best part.
They had a huge climbing structure that Emmi went in.

Vacation cont.. beach

Of course we spent plenty of time at the beach.





Naptime, although this only happened once.

Vacation cont..... lighthouse & ice cream

One thing Emmi really wanted to do while visiting Memere is go see a light house. Unfortunately she isn't old enough to go inside the lighthouse since you have to be 6. So we went on a random day to check it out.





We also went out for ice cream one day while there. I usually like to go daily but since my favorite shop is a bit of a drive we only managed one trip.
