Reorganizing the DVDs first thing in the morning.

Ellary had Field Day at school today as part of the last week of school festivities.  Field Day is a sort of Olympic competition between classes.  

Shila, Keaton and I spent the day volunteering at the "synchronized swimming" station.  Nothing like a chocolate "muffin" to get the day started.

Ellary was so excited to have us there.  She had a great time with all of the activities.

The relay race.

Another water challenge.

The day was filled with fun, water and thankfully a nice cloud cover.

Keaton was happy to be home and roaming around on her own.  I was so proud of Shila and Keaton for sticking it out all day. What sports they were!

Shila was crashed out at the end of the day.

Ellary played her final softball game of the season.  It was a great game and they ended the season with a victory.

The coaches got a gift from the team.

 Cupcakes!

Later that afternoon...

Ellary had her Hip Hop/Jazz recital.

Ellary and I backstage.

I can't even tell you how proud I was of Ellary.  Her recital was at the Alpharetta High School auditorium.  It was a huge room with a big crowd.  She was so brave.  She marched right on that stage without a second thought.  I really admire her confidence.

Sisters.

Ellary had a great time during dance and can't wait until Fall when her classes starts again.  The jury is still out on softball... Maybe if the had bedazzled uniforms?

Happy Earth Day!

Today, in honor of Earth Day, we decided to make terrariums.  The girls had a lot of fun with their project and we have a couple of cute little terrariums to decorate with.  The color is way off in these pictures, but I didn't have the time to fix them.

Keaton is getting so big.  She is walking along all the furniture and crawling everywhere.  She says:
 Mama, Dada, night night, and banana.  She will also repeat some words after we say them to her.  

Bedtime!

Our bedtime routine consists of the girls checking their "zoos" on the tablet and reading a chapter book.

The "zoos" are games they play on the tablet where they maintain a safari, a zoo and a kingdom.

Keaton didn't nap much today so she fell asleep right away.

Softball Saturday!

Ellary had a softball game today.  It was raining on and off during the game so I left my camera in the car...  Of course, I did manage to snap a couple of pictures with my phone.

 

Shila got bored and wanted to play on the playground.
