Over the River and Through the Woods: Play Time in the Snow

For a bunch of island babies, my kids love the snow!

Over the River and Through the Woods...

To grandmother's house we go!

  Well, we tried to.  Months of planning, days of packing, 20 minutes trying to get everyone into the truck and settled and it won't start.  Two hours and two replaced batteries later, and we were on the road.

Sky's 8th Birthday

How did Sky get to be eight?!  Two seconds ago, she was a tiny little thing and now she's a big girl with big ideas, doing great in school and at home.  Sky is sassy, funny, and so smart!  I love watching her grow and can't wait to see what eight has in store for her.

Her godparents sent her some clothes for her birthday so we let her open a present the night before her birthday

A Visit With Santa

Santa came to the clubhouse on Saturday and we got to say hi

 Three looking, two smiling- I'll take it!

Sky's Birthday Show

It looks like Sky and I have accidentally started a new tradition: birthday dates to see a musical! Last year we saw the Sound of Music and this year, I took her to see Roger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella.

Movie Night at the Train Museum

My kids LOVE the Tucson Train Museum!  We've gotten to such regulars there that the staff know us and are extra sweet with the kids.  We usually go on Saturday mornings and the kids love honking the train horn and playing with the toy trains.  This fall, they had a special family movie series to promote train safety so we've been bundling up the kids and heading downtown for crafts, popcorn, and free outdoor movies.
