Scout

Four Years Ago…

Preschool

Today was Scout’s first day of official Preschool! I took her this morning and she was SUPER excited. She hugged me and kissed me and then told me she would see me later. She ran off happy as a clam. (What the hell do clams have to be so happy about anyway?) This afternoon when [...]

jeté

This week Scout took her first dance class. It was a 4 day “camp” of sorts called Tutus and Tiaras. The class was 2.5 hours a day. The would start with some dance fundamentals and movement then they would do a craft. Then story time, a little pre ballet and the last thing they would [...]

Once Upon a Dream….

Here is Scout singing her own unique version of the classic song from Sleeping Beauty!

I think you should know that every single time she says that she says she [...]

easy way out…

My MacBook power cord shorted out and began smoking today. So alas I have not been as online as usual. So to keep up with my NaBloPoMo I am posting a picture. You’ll survive. I have every intention of being at the Apple store first thing in the morning so I can remedy this situation!

Finally…the Halloween pics

I know there will be a LOT of political discussions today….so take a break from it all and enjoy these pictures of my beautiful girls!
