We could leave the Christmas lights up til January...


 

Today we had a nice chill day. We played games. We slept in. We had extra snuggles and watched TV. In the afternoon we went to IKEA just to check things out. I'm on the lookout for a new bed for Evie that is raised from the floor so we have some extra storage in her room. We didn't buy anything but we had fun looking around. We also didn't eat there which Evie was very disappointed about but we did bring home some meatballs for later! Our vacation is coming to an end and I'm both sad for it to be ending and also ready to get back to work. We have some fun things planned for tomorrow and Evie is really excited about spending the new year with her nana! :)

Ice, Ice Baby...

    This week along with weather we've been talking about climates and how we are all adapted and suited for where we live. Today we switched up our sensory table for a snowy, icy, arctic one. I wasn't sure how Evie would like this one because while she loves water play she does NOT like to be sticky or slimy. The snow (which is fake snow made from powder ) isn't cold at all but it gets sort of gel like when you mix the two.  She had fun balancing the animals on the ice and digging them into the snow for awhile and then she cautiously asked if she could mix the snow and water. When I told her of course she can she was ecstatic. She found that adding snow to water caused the snow to "melt" and adding the water to the snow melted it down into gelatinous pools of blue "ice".  After lunchtime we took this one outside and she played with it for HOURS. Tossing the snow, making "food" out of the mixed snow and ice and pretending her Chelsea doll was o...

The Aquarium upgrade …

  Well today ended up being a crazy day. We had planned to take it easy and get back into the groove after our trip but that didn’t happen at all! Recently Evie got a new fish which she named Ariel. It turned out that Ariel was a boy fish though and as a result he has been trying to get Dorothy to breed which has stressed her out and made her sick. So we got a tank separator but we really needed to put them in their own tanks. Today we ordered one online. The store gave us the wrong size and st first they said oh well just keep it and we decided to try to make it work. But then as the day unfolded we realized that there was just no way we could fit this rank into our house. So we took it back to get a smaller one. But then we ended up getting the wrong tank. So another trip to the pet store and we finally got the tank up and running. Luckily we had cycled water all ready to go in so we were able to get Ariel in pretty quickly. Everyone seems happy but man are we tired!

Tiny Dancer...

  It's finally here! Dance Camp! Evie has been waiting ALL summer for this. She loved gymnastics camp but we haven't had any dance since the recital in June and she has been really sad to not see Miss Natalie every week. It's a rainy week too which works out since she'll be at the studio all morning. There were three camps this year and this overachiever really wanted to do all three but due to travel plans we already had in place we couldn't do more than one. Maybe next year. Today the focus was on ballet and hip hop. She has been asking about ballet and I've told her I just don't feel it suits her personality but I was really looking forward to seeing if camp changed her opinion of it. It definitely did! She said she really liked it but she did like being able to jump around and do tricks in hip hop better. Miss Natalie also has a mix dance class so I'll be interested to see at the end of camp if she wants to switch it up and try mixed dance! She reall...
