Happy New Year! I can't believe how fast time flies with the littles. I know I'm going to blink and I will be helping out with middle school projects, or watching high school sports, or helping one of the little ladies get ready to walk down the isle, or snuggle their babies!!! I just wish I knew how to slow time down. Because as crazy as some days may be, I certainly am treasuring my time with them this little!
Here's a little recap of our month:
-We took advantage of some really great, sunny days, and had picnics outside, ran around with the chickens, and played on the swingset. Even nuggie got into it on the swing!
-The girls went to a free trial ballet class. What we learned:
1.) Isabella was OBSESSED with it, and wanted to go every single day. She loved doing "pizza feet" but was upset they didn't teach her how to leap.
2.) Aubrey cried while going back to the room since Mama couldn't come (although this is really unlike her!) She then proceeded to sit on the side of the room the entire time, minus the last 3 minutes in which she decided doing yoga poses would be more fun. BTW 3 year old down ward dog is adorable!.
3.) Mama learned the girls (mostly Bella) definitely need to take a dance class b/c she lights up when talking about it, but southern dance studios are no joke (and crazy expensive!). So we are signed up for the February ballet/jazz combo through the park district, and couldn't be more excited about it (Isabella excited to dance, Aubrey excited to "try again, and not cry", and Mama to save some $$$).
Clearly we have some learning to do : ) |
-We took advantage of the great mall about 5 minutes from church and went with some friends for a little lunch (Hello hardness when doing Whole 30!), a carousel ride, and of course several escalator rides. Always a good time with friends, and even better when it tires 2 of 3 littles out so much they conk out in the car, and then proceed to nap at home! Holla!
-We had our first chicken injury, and sadly, our first chicken loss. Our neighbors 2 dogs chased and I'm assuming killed one of our girls ("Pumpkin/Buffy"). 3 went missing after the chase, 2 came back home, and one never returned. That being said, one of the girls ("Stripes") who was in the mouth of the small dog ended up just getting a small bite injury, and I also noticed she had bumble foot. So we quarantined her, did chicken foot surgery, and after a week quarantined in the crate on our porch, she was ready to get back with her friends. I was certainly surprised at how attached I am/was to these chickees and losing my favorite was not easy.
-The girls absolutely love dress up together. Almost daily they put on a costume, and are no longer Bella and Aubrey, but become whatever princess or Doc of the day they become!
