Cassidy's 1st Sleepover

The Richmer family were kind enough to let us sweep up Kyra last weekend for a girl's night! I took Kyra and Cass to the GSR where they watched their first real ballet: The Dance Theatre of Harlem. It was epic. The girls played arcade games for bit before we picked up our tickets and each got one treat. Once inside the theatre we went to the bar where a bartender who either has kids or loves kids made fancy cocktails of orange juice and real cherries. The ballet began with opening strands of a piece by Balanchine and the girls were hooked from the first pas de deux to the last arabesque. It was long. After two intermissions, and a few sleepy eyes, we headed home.  Matt had stayed home with Savannah and the trundle bed was all made up.

The next morning we played dress up for a bit and had a breakfast of pancakes! Kyra's daddy came to pick her up and after the last set of hugs had been exchanged, Cassidy turned to me and said, "Momma, that was the best weekend ever!" Admittedly, she says this every weekend, but I believe there was an extra special amount of truth this time.

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!
