Recital

This week is a biggy for Reena. She had her dress rehearsal and class picture taken in her cute purple tutu. I did her hair and makeup and had flashbacks of when I was her age getting my hair and stage make up done by my aunts. She did so great at her recital. It was SOOOOOO CUTE! The light was off and when they were walking out to be in position, Reena said out loud "It's so dark in here" The light came on and they were in a lying down position and Reena had her face down and the girl next to her did the same thing so they didn't see that everyone else was already up and watching the teacher for the next moves. We don't know if this was intended, but we're guessing not. But when they realized, they both stood up and everyone cheered, especially us! They started doing what everyone else was doing and it was just so darling!!!




For preschool this week we had a class trip to the PacSci big screen and saw "The Living Sea" in the IMAX theater. Of course the kids also couldn't pass the dinosaur exhibits and the Grossology/butterfly exhibits either. Debrie had a butterfly on her shoulder walking out and we almost missed it. We also saw lots of people tried the balance bike. The kids were in awed.


After Reena's dance recital we went out for milkshakes and a hike to burn off all those calories, which we added right back at a barbecue with our friends after our hike. We went up to our lot in the Highlands to go on the hike into the mountains. This trail is just down the road to the right of the lot. We did not pay an arm and a leg on the lot. We did it for the location. These are the things we're excited about. Tennis court, soccer field, baseball field, the central playground area, the pond, the view of Seattle, and the trail. All of which are yards in front of us.

I do love the colors of the NW homes. From stucco to colorful hardy planks/sidings. We have it all. We're going to try a mix and match on our home.


Dan has been learning about composting organic fertilizer for our garden after he saw me buying organic compost. Here's our garden this year. We have broccoli, lettuce, pepper, pea, cilantro, mint, and green bean, and tomato.

I went to Enrichment or RS social meetings or whatever it is they're called nowadays and got to learn a wonderful way to shape the best looking dinner rolls. The recipe is the best moist pull apart rolls I've ever seen and the best homemade I've ever tried. See for yourself! The recipe is at my KreativeKorner website.

Hope that makes you folks hungry!!
