The Pirate Is Back

Sam lost his "pirate" for the last week due to being naughty ... boy was he super happy to be back to his old treasure hunting, blood thirsty, pirate plundering ways this morning.

Princesses

Anna had a playdate this afternoon with her friend Amanda and a two extra princesses.

The Ballet Tea

Anna and I went to her ballet classes annual tea party today. We have been waiting for this event for month's. The party is a very big deal at her studio, the girls have a drawing contest to see who will create the invitations and tee shirts. Her teachers personally invest a lot of effort and attention to the tea. They made most of the treats for the party and created a hair clip for each girl. Anna and her friend Elsie spent most of the party dancing with the pre-professional ballet dancers. At the raffle Anna won a princess tent, she was so excited! I had spent 5 minutes telling her not to be to upset when she did not win .. and then her ticket was the first one pulled. She told me that she just knew she was lucky!

When I Root, I Root For The Timbers!

After the busy day at Dozer Days, Nana and Pop pop's took the kids to a Timber's game. They love to go to the games and have been to four games so far this season. Sam is especially excited about all things Timber. One of his favorite things to do is walk around singing the soccer chants ... my favorite chant so far is "No pity in the Rose City!!"

Dozer Days

On Saturday, Anna and Sam got to play with some heavy construction equipment. Anna was fearless, determined, and very excited about the entire process. Sam was very nervous about being inside the big rigs and did not really work the machines much. He was more excited to play in the sand pits and look around. Nana was competitive. She was about to lift, move and drop a basketball .. woo hoo Nana!
