Wiffle Ball

We've been having some great weather, so hanging out in the backyard before it gets dark has consisted of a lot of wiffle ball!

Fabulous Willow

Having Willow home ever afternoon provides such entertainment for me.  I am so going to miss her next year when she is in school full time.  

Preview of teenage years?  When she is talking and talking and talking, but never looking at me anymore because she has her friends on her phone to pay attention to as well?  

Sam becomes her live dress up doll and has recently been the recipient of her own clothes.  This day Sam was getting ready to go snowboarding.  :)  While Sam never looks very pleased, he is a good sport about it.  :)

This one has to be one of my all time favorites.  Sam was dressed up like Pinkie Pie from Equestria Girls, and became a member of Willow's rock band.

I get to hang out in Willow's room with her and she pretends to give me massages, tells me made up stories about people we know, and then laugh hysterically and leaves me in the room to take a nap.  

She also has recently started to have an interest in doing her own hair and on the days I straighten my hair, I sit in a kids chair while she practices putting in pony tails and pretending to braid my hair that usually ends in a whole lot of knots.  The other morning, she snuck off and declared she has mastered pony tails and put them in her hair herself!

Willow's other front tooth has been majorly wiggly, but she has refused to let me pull it out.  It has literally been hanging crooked in her mouth in about a week.  Today she asked for a bowl of frozen blueberries and popped her own tooth out while biting right into one.  I am so glad that thing is out of her mouth!

Snow Day!

Finally!  Snow!!!!

This snow storm fell on a weekend, so no school got cancelled, unfortunately.  But it was fun to play in!

The snow didn't stick around too long, but long enough for Willow and I to build some snow castles.

And then smashing it!
