In the swing of things for 3rd Grade

After school lessons for her dolls:) 

learning our 4 multiples by counting wheels in sets of 4

class is always cheerier with a few watchful eyes:)

Statue of Liberty

 This year in school we have learned about Emma Lazarus who wrote the  poem on the  pedestal  for the statue of liberty. It's title is the The New Colossus. Lola liked listening to the story on the headsets, we didn't get to listen to all of it and so she is excited about the idea of coming again on a warmer day to see some more.

NYC exploring

central park zoo 

Museum of Natural History

Lion King

 What an amazing way to introduce the Doll to Broadway- The Lion King has been on Broadway since 1997. Luckily our hotel had some deals on seats. We took her brothers to see it when it came to Denver, and now to take her to see it was really sweet. She said it was the best play she has ever seen.

out and about in NYC

mom and me date

Well, since we were going to be going to the big apple:) we needed to get our nails painted. 

Pumpkin=Yum

We have made several things with our fresh pumpkin puree- pumpkin roll, pumpkin soup & pumpkin bread. What a lovely color it is too:)

Hallzooween

Girl Scout trip to the Horse Park + a stop for some letter boxing

On the way home from the museum we stopped in 

Stamping Ground,  KY to look for a letter box, sadly after many searches we didn't find it. The girls however really enjoyed the park:)

Go Carting

We like to go to the go cart track during the lunch hour for some uncrowded race track time. Lola keeps improving her time each week.

Girl Scout Bowling Outing

We had some fun bowling with our girl scout troop. 

Our church, & several in the area, support a mission in Covington. At a local church they were having a mystery dinner theater set in the 80's. We  had a good time & fun fellowship with some people from our area for a good cause.

Blooms and Berries

 We went with friends to see the Sunflower field and to pick a pumpkin after a hay ride:)

Homemade gifts for a friend

One of our friends was having a chocolate birthday. She also has a love for American Girl dolls. So we thought we would whip up a batch of candy for the dolls to enjoy too. It was such a fun and quick gift to make. We made mini hershey kisses and mini candy canes.

(By the way-- note to self--- chocolate themed birthday needs to be added to Mom's birthday party ideas. We had so much fun tasting chocolate from around the world. It was really a great idea!)

Library art display

The changing art displays are always a treat for us to find.

Pixie doesn't seem to mind being a book table:)

Pottery with our Friends

What to do on a rainy day? How about paint your own  pottery! The kids had fun designing there mugs. It was fun to catch up with them since they moved.
