"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Random Happenings

Lily impressed us with this great mark on her Rocks and Minerals quiz one day.  She is doing really well in school.
 
 
Izzy was chosen to be in her teacher's Writer's Café recently.  It is where she writes a story and presents it in front of everyone. She did a great job!
 
 
 
Chloe has started Piano lessons this year!  She really likes it and she does great.  We were lucky to find a teacher this year who comes right to our home.  And it is actually about $50 a month cheaper than when we went to the Prime School of Music. That will save us $500 this year! She is a really good teacher too.  The convenience of having it at home is so great.
 
 
 
Here is Olivia one day before preschool on Farmer Day.  She dressed as a cowgirl:
 
 
 
And today Olivia had Crazy Hair and Outfit day at preschool:


It reminded me of the crazy outfits she often picks for herself on ordinary days, haha.  Lately she has been layering and mix 'n matching pajamas.  Here are some of her creations that she is so proud of:


 
And here's a skirt Olivia thought was just too plain and so she colored on it with a marker!!! I am just glad it washed away completely.  Thank goodness for washable markers.
 


We love Olivia and all her creativity and uniqueness!
