A Trip to North Georgia

Andrea took Callie and Mali up to North Georgia to explore the waterfalls. How fun!

Anna playing peek-a-boo

Anna is so precious! She is completely enamored with playing peek-a-boo. She crawls into the kitchen, grabs the towels down from the oven, and puts them over her face and says, "Peek Boo!"

Callie and Mali decided to do a snow ritual last night even though the weather forcast calls for 70 degree weather.

The Sound of Music

Mali starred in her first production of The Sound of Music Saturday night. She is so precious!

I'm also in the show as the Mother Abbess. My niece Callie is one of the nuns.

I finally broke down yesterday and bought a "stupid friendly" camcorder that uploads directly to You Tube so I could get videos of the kids onto this blog.
Last Friday was Alex's birthday and we had his birthday party on Saturday. Franco and Mali played the "bad guys" who stole the cake. Alex and his "Spiderman" friends chased them, tied them up, and found the cake. That was his favorite part. They also shot spiderwebs (silly string) and scaled walls (climbed a ladder). Alex got Dr. Seuss books from his friends.
Mali got into the gifted (Target) program at school and goes every Friday. She's so stinkin' smart. The other day she wanted me to write some math problems for her. I couldn't stump her! An example of a question was: Mali earns 5 cents for each chore she does. She wants to buy a candy bar for 89 cents. How many chores does she have to complete to earn enough money to buy a candy bar? Yeah, she did it in her head.

Anna is in a good routine right now. She sleeps, she eats, she's cute. She's doing everything a good baby should do.

Franco is just trying to keep his job. We're very concerned of course that he could be let go any day. It's scary times!
I put all my doings on my other blog. http://www.amberbrookesoprano.blogspot.com/
