A Few of My Favorite Things {p,h,f,r}

{Real} First of all, this is my vantage point for at least an hour of driving each day... That's the reality of driving kids to activities no-so-close to our house. We make the best of our time by listening to LOTS of books on CD... Spending this much time in the van is not my favorite thing, but...

It allows Lucy to participate in something she absolutely loves:  ballet.  Here is a performance from this weekend.  She is so {happy} to be on stage.  (And {pretty}, too!)  Seeing her in her element is definitely one of my favorite things. 

 

 

Another activity which is a favorite of mine and the kids is... Legos!!  Miss Felic did this all by herself...  I love the creativity these fun little blocks foster.  I'm not so fond of the mess, however.  Oh well.  

 

This is a {funny} 'chariot ride' created by a certain big brother. 

 

 

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we had Uncle Ashley and Auntie Shruti (and their sons!!) at our house for 3 whole nights!!  The kiddos were thrilled, as you can see in this picture...

 

 

 When I was a kid, I thought I was a dog person.  I mean, I really loved our dogs, and cats, too, but I thought the dogs were more interesting.  Now that I actually have primary responsibilty for these creatures, and after owning the world's worst-behaved dog for 5 years, I have changed camps.  Kitties are the best.  They are cute and snuggly, very independent, and have tons of personality.  Add the fact that they also keep the rodent population down, and I am completely sold on our family felines. 

 

 

{Real}  This is where Tiger and Hamlet were hanging out yesterday... a top shelf in our garage. 

And, of course, no post is complete without a picture of Little Man who is loving his solid (using that term loosely here) food these days. 

 

Linking up with the Ladies at Like Mother, Like Daughter today!!

 

Happy Thursday!
