Saar came to school and taught the kids a gymnastics lesson. Finally Pookie decided she really likes it and is going to go to the gymnastics class this Tuesday (too bad we leave for SJ next week so she will only have one class). It’s a start. Hope she has as much fun on tuesday! xo

Menorahs made from collected driftwood, homemade applesauce and potato latkas (excuse spelling) and a lesson about the holiday. Ashley nailed it like usual :). Lucky little crew.

We got our new debit cards this week and I need to shred all the documents before i put them in the trash so I knew two very willing assistants for that job. I think Sophie might have yelled “best day ever” during the shredding party. It doesn’t take much- hahaha. The also swept it all up after. In case anyone is looking…they will work for cookies.

Pooks was sick the day they had someone come to school and teach about jewelry making. She was so super bummed that Ashley, being the awesome teacher that she is. snagged a bunch of beads and string for the little Pookster. She was so flipping excited and got to work straight away!!

I am so super proud of this little worm. She is coloring like a beast and loving it. She is holding her pencils like a pro now and is so precise. Yesterday for fun i told her we should do her alphabet bucket like the old days (when i was trying to teach her the alphabet), not only did she nail every letter (expected) but on her own she decided to tell me a word that started with each letter!

These were from Hanukkah at school

This one was from Thanksgiving

This was from spanish class. Te adoro!

So Will is always complaining that Sophie doesn’t want to go anywhere with him. He says she never wants to go to the store with him, take the dogs for walk together, etc. Also the girls both cry and get worked up when i leave but not when he leaves and so it drives him wild. I am sure this will reverse when they are teenagers which is what i always remind him but for now we have two very attached momma’s girls. This being said the following took place the other day:

Will: Sophie, what do you think I should ask for for Xmas?

Sophie: (dead serious)…I know! A Sophie doll!!! That is what you should ask for. Then you can take her to the store, bring her on walks with the dogs, anywhere you want to go, she’ll go with you.

Me: bahahahahahahhaaha.

Pooks came home from school and the following conversation took place:

Pooks: Momma is Gaia (her classmate) a fish?

Me: Huh? What? Umm, im going to go with NO. Why?

Pooks: Because yesterday at school she was eating seaweed.

Me: bahahahahah

Ashley messaged me and told me that Sophie announced at school that she has a brilliant idea for the next fun friday. She said they can all dress up in fancy clothes and pretend to be adults and go on a date to a restaurant in town. Ugh. Precious. Ashley said she just melted when she heard that little idea.

Sweet little Pookie, always full of love, laughter, and silliness. xoxoxoxo

Heading off to school with her little hairstyle that she created for me to do.

Started off as a nice and calm craft project, painting egg cartons for a mobile.

Shortly after this, Sabs painted herself yellow. Then Sophie painted goggles on her. Then our craft turned into Minion Sabsy with a red belly (because why not). Sophie was so impressed with her creation that she told me she is going to do it again and I should video her so she can make a youtube makeup tutorial for minion making.

The air was a bit different here all weekend. Dry season is upon us. The humidity has lifted and the skies have been bright blue. We spent the weekend at two of our favorite beaches with crystal clear water. Pooks got her goggles back on and spotted some puffer fish with Dada. We all got a little sunburn to welcome in the dry season sun. Sox came over all weekend and took a trip to the beach with us on Sunday. Good times 🙂

And Sunday 🙂
