Track Star

E participated in our elementary school's track meet.

On your mark!

Get set!

Go!

The race is on.

E participated in the 100 m, 200m, the standing long jump, and the softball toss.  She did terrific and loved the practices and the meet. Way to go E!

Talent Show

This spring E and R participating in their school talent show.  I am so proud of them for doing it.  They were really self motivated.  Unfortunately, their piano teacher/ mom was on the couch with morning sickness and no help. Way to get it done girls!

E played "I got Rhythm"

R played "Cowboy Joe" and "Rodeo"

R anxiously waiting to go.

(Thanks to Sister Phelon for the pictures. I wasn't even up to that at the time)

* note the beautiful hair- it was cut by the end of the lice issue...their new hair cuts are still very cute

Lice pictures

Here are the photos from our lice experience.  The hair checks, the laundry, the cleaning, the shower caps to make sure it didn't spread...Ugh! I am tired just thinking about it.

Note: The sheets on the couches and my friend's steam cleaner in the background. This picture must have been taken near the end since E isn't wearing a shower cap.

Here I am checking R hair.  I had a hair check station: a light to be able to see the bugs, the special combs to remove the eggs, clips to separate the hair, and olive oil to smother the lice.

H all smiles after her hair check. There are piles of clean laundry and the garbage bags of things we have to keep air tight for 2 weeks.
