Field Day 2012

Natalie participated in Field Day this year at Humphreys American School.  She really enjoys field day and it reminds me of my childhood and elementary school field days.  However, they no longer award ribbons for places because now days everyone is a "winner!".  

My little runner in the relay race. I love how her tongue is always out.

Looking over her shoulder to see who was approaching her.  Once again that tongue is out.

This little piggy went to market...

Sack race.  I made sure that mop top of hers was out of her face.

Such smiles.

Interesting relay, but she liked it.

Henley must not have found the field day as entertaining as her sisters.

Sharing juice with her older sister.

Gabby wanted in on the action so her sister was showing her how the next activity went.

Gabby was always close behind.

Seriously, where did she get those lips???

Marching to the beat

While trying to empty the dishwasher we thought we would show Henley how to make music with a wooden spoon and pan.  Gabby joined in and we soon had a band.  Here the girls are starting their band,

They have the hang of it now...

Well I guess they rocked it a little too hard. This is the end result. Apparently Henley thought throwing the tupperware around was much more enjoyable.

After bringing up the groceries Henley crawled under the shopping cart and got stuck.  She was screaming her head off in this picture. Too Funny.

Stuck Henny.

we also grew sponge dinosaurs in water.

Gabby was mesmerized with the growing sponges.  Such a fun little tool to keep her entertained.

Make New Friends...

But keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. Natalie had her bridging ceremony from Daisy's to Brownies this past week. She was so proud of herself and she can't wait to become a brownie.

"On my honor..." Natalie was leading the pledge

Here she is getting her patches she earned this year

Getting her pin.

Bridging over into Brownies. Gabby was an honorary brownie

My little Brownie.

All the little girls who bridged into Brownies from Daisy's

This little girl ate cheetos and was in hog heaven.  Her face clearly reflects that.

Tea party after the ceremony and these two are enjoying themselves

9 months of Henley. 

Miss Henley Grace turned 9 months on May 2nd. She is a smiley little girl with a side of spunk.  She is crawling everywhere has 8 teeth, claps when you ask her too, waves and has just started babbling Mama and gaga.  She has had 8 ear infections, the flu, roseola and mild pneumonia all her first 9 months of life. Needless to say we have spent lots of time at the doctors.  She is scheduled for tubes June 14 and we hope that this will help the poor girl out.
