A Typical End-of-the-Day at Mountain Sun

Annie's always runs to me with her bunny bag, a big smile, ... and some nature! Today it was buttercups: "Mamma, let's check to see if you like butter!" I did. ; ) Then it was time for a picture with Shana and Julie!

A Few Sweet Things from Immaculata

Oh, I just LOVED finding this in Leia's religion book. Such a true depiction! "Draw a picture to show what your family can do during Sundays of Ordinary Time." Leia's pictures are "we ete dinr awt" ... "We eat dinner out." and "We go to Mass." Yeah, spelling isn't her strongsuit. ; ) And here is a letter from Leia's penpal from the midwest, ... the principal's daughter teaches at this other school. Leia was glad to have a penpal named Annie!!!

A Strange Pastime: Annie "Boosh"

Why Brian allows this, I'll never know. But one of Annie's favorite things to do these days, especially when Daddy hosts "running games" before bedtime on the weekends, but sometimes even in the family room, ... is called "Annie Boosh." It involves Brian curling up in the fetal position while Annie jumps from a couch or bed directly onto Brian with her knees. And this is fun, ... why? ; )

Tea Time with Grandma

Grandma came to help Mamma as she recovered from her double hand-surgeries (due to severe carpal tunnel syndrome), and so the girls shared some wonderful tea parties with Grandma during these special days. They also got to perform their VERY late Valentine for Grandma: "Sisters." Leia Rose even created a very special restaurant named The Cat's Meow. (See her sign for more information.) : )
