Jr. Indoor Classic

The Club hosts an annual indoor carpet classic for the adults. It's an indoor putting course throughout the club house.  This year they decided to let the kids play it during Jr. sports sign up.  The course started in the basement in the banquet room.  They had to putt into the elevator and take it up to the third floor.  Putt out of the elevator to finish that hole.

 The next hole went down the stairs

 Other holes included putting under tables, etc.

 The final hole went down the long stair case back into the banquet room.  It was a fun activity.  Hopefully, they'll let the kids play again next year.  It seemed to be a hit.

Carter at school.  I love seeing pics of the kiddos at school.  Sometimes it's the only way I find out what they did with their day.

Art Garage

Evelyn and her friend Matilda attended the open art at the Art Garage.

 It was a perfect week to go because the story was, I Love Dogs!

 After the story they got to paint a canvas with a dog drawn on.

 Creating her masterpiece

 They took it quite seriously and painted until we had to cut them off.

 Group hug

 They walked in singing and waving palms.

 So cute ready to sing. 

 She was front and center

 and did a great job singing and doing the motions

 It was another wonderful program and all the kiddos were adorable as always.

Frolic with the Fairies

I took the girls to Frolic with the Fairies.  It's something I had wanted to take Audrey to before but it just hasn't worked out with our schedule the last couple of years.  They did a great job on this fun backdrop for pictures.

 We went with one of Audrey's friends from ballet.

 They had the room nicely decorated with cute place settings.  They had a typo and put the wrong name for Audrey.

 Audrey pays attention to detail and approved of the pretty table decor.

 The tea cups were filled with donut holes.  Evelyn was being shy and grumpy so Audrey was the only one willing to pose for pictures.

 With my beautiful fairies.

 They got their faces painted.

Scholastic bowl

Enrichment Eagles have their scholastic bowls from March through the end of the school year.  Evelyn and I went to watch Carter and his team compete.

 It's impressive to watch the kids answer the challenging questions.

 While Carter was at enrichment, Audrey was learning about first aid from the Dunlap fire department with her girl scout troop.

carnival and birthday party

 Carter and Audrey's school had their annual carnival fundraiser. The kids always have to make a stop at the balloon guy.

 Audrey never turns down an opportunity to get her face painted

 Carter doesn't normally get his painted.  This year there was an incentive.  The kids were given a card with all the different activities to do.  If they completed all of them their card went into a drawing for a prize. That is the only reason why Carter ended up getting his face painted.

 Fairy princess Audrey

 The next day, Evelyn had a birthday party for her friend Brendan.  Not only did they get cake.  They also got to decorate cookies.

 This is such a great group of kiddos!

 It was a beautiful day so they played outside a lot!

 This was her first drop off party.  Kelly did an awesome job taking pictures and sharing them with us.

 Love these kiddos!

 They all play so well together.

 Tackling Brendan's dad

 Happy birthday, Brendan!

 Since it was so nice outside we took Carter and Audrey to the driving range while Evelyn partied,  They were ready to veg and cuddle with Sasha when we got home.

 I don't even remember what they were doing but I love this sisterly moment.

 After being home from Mexico for a couple of days, I got back on a plane to travel to Virginia.  I love my time with these cousins.  I just hope next time is for a happy occasion.

I was supposed to be a guest reader for Audrey's class while I was in Virginia.  Thanks to Grandma for filling in for me.  Audrey picked the book, The Book with No Pictures and didn't let Grandma read it before coming to her class.  Ha!

Sasha's turned 11!  The kids once again put candles in her frosty paw and sang to her.

 Evelyn insists on holding the cup

 Sasha's always a good sport
