Fort Knox Here She Comes!

Oh WAIT....were just trying to get her into the local kindergarten class!

Vivien is yet to be officially registered for kindergarten. I have been putting it off seeing as, I have no idea where the copy of my deed is. I also don't have a valid passport or a letter from an approved government agency.

I'm afraid the pendulum has swung in the wrong direction if we need to give away private information like this just to register a child at the local elementary school. Doug has talked to a few people and a lawyer or two from the district. I think we are pretty stuck though and we'd better be hunting up some major info. if we want this girlie in school next year!

Everybody Dance Now

Vivien, Ava and Lilli after the big spring dance recital.

Here is Vivi and her all time best friend. They got to watch all the dancing until it was their turn.
Grandma came to watch...thank you Grandma:)

Vivien was posing for the camera, this is one of a myriad of photos from my Vivi:)
Vivien is a fun dancer. She knows exactly what to do and every move to make.

This is Ava on the stage. Ava is such a graceful and beautiful dancer. She is a delight to watch.

Lilli is full of great dancing energy! She has not danced as long as the other girls her age, but she definitely can hold her own:)

Ava after the concert with her flowers.

Lilli after with her flowers.

Of course we had to celebrate the great dancing at B&R:)

Ava picked a chocolate sprinkle cone with lots of mint chip ice cream.

Vivi ate her treat pretty quick and was then feeling very tired!

I even caught her with her eyes shut for a minute:)

She did muster this cute smile in the end:)
Good job dancing girls! Another fun and great performance...I love these little dancing queens.

From Freight Train...

to a babbling brook! This is how I feel these days at my house. All because of one kitchen appliance. I know some of you got to witness the noise level that had been coming from our old dishwasher. I am not exaggerating by calling it a freight train either! The noise level was enough to drive you insane, grate on your nerves etc. If the kids wanted to watch T.V. while the dishwasher was going, we'd turn the T.V. up full blast. Then we resorted to only turning the dishwasher on at bedtime.
* FYI~ if you have any kind of insomnia, freight trains and sleep don't mix;)
So, finally we realized it was time for something new...and this is it:)

Yay it's shiny and new and I feel like I have my very own water feature in my kitchen:) but, the end all be all, is sleeping without the freight train!

Our Own Little Viking

I find it interesting that even though Doug and I grew up in different states we were both "Vikings" in high school. That must be a common mascot for high schools. What was your high school mascot? A Viking perhaps;).

Nicolette found this hat of Doug's the other day in the garage. She was really having fun being a Viking and driving her Barbie Jeep... fun times when your two. A viking hat and a barbie jeep and the entertainment goes on and on;).
