No Shopping, Shopping Trip

So after your piano recital - that you did great at -we headed to DSW. I needed some new boots and you wanted to come with. You spent the entire time trying on shoes, taking selfies, making vlogs...then you declared it the best time ever, and that we should do this more - go to stores, try on stuff, take pictures, and not buy anything.

You're hilarious! Glad you had such a good time. We'll do it again soon.

We'll need to talk about your choices...

4th grade Field trips

Trip to ice skate with Shelby CC-

You are still horrible at ice skating :)

Trip to Chattanooga with the entire 4th grade!

Thanksgiving 2019

Here's your recap-

Thanksgiving - kind of stay-cation. Grandma and Grandpa were still in New York. You got to "work" in Mom's office, had friends come over for brunch, took naps, played outside, did a puzzle, saw a movie on T-day, visited the new TN State Museum, went to hibachi, date night with Mommy to see Little Mermaid, killed it in some tether ball, put up our Xmas tree, and went to a fun interactive art exhibit with friends!

Fall fun + Halloween

Maevy-girl-

For the Book Character parade- you just found a book that had an angel in it...

Then later that night - you were still an angel. The whole idea being that Ainsley would be the devil and you an angel. You opted to trick-or- treat with your friends and even stopped by Violet's for her party.

With the Warrens...

 With Lucie Jane and Ainsley -

 At LDC movie night...

Then last weekend -we headed to Honeysuckle farm on their last open day. The weather was great- and you had great time exploring everything, and even helping June try the zip line. We all tried funnel fries, and we all loved them - especially thee powdered sugar. :)

Fun times!

Daddy's Bday

 As per tradition - we headed to the $1 store for gifts - you got Daddy raffle tickets and a Reese's PB cup. You know- you thought Daddy could create something that we would need raffle tickets for. :)

Fall Break - Cincinatti

Maevy - girl -

Things started off earlier - the Thursday before my getting rush tickets to see a farce play. We all laughed a lot. We still need to work on sitting through the whole play - you wanted to leave half way through again.

 Then on Saturday - you went with daphne and Ainsley downtown to Dick's Last Resort (your request) and to play laser tag. This the hat they gave Carter...

Since Mommy had to go out town earlier in the week for Great-Grandpa's funeral - you headed to Memphis to hang with the Taylors for a couple days.

I came home Wednesday night and we left Thursday morning - to Cincinnati for fall break.

Thurs- Wolf Creek lodge, indoor water park
Fri- Wolf Creek lodge -wand scavenger hunt, then the Wielands - trunk or treat
Sat - Am Sign Museum, Findlay Market- you broke out your shell and tried cookies n cream fudge, then Smale Riverfront park
Sun- It was cold. Stopped by a local place for lunch, then headed home.

You love playing with the Wieland twins. :)

 I asked you to pick your favorite sign -

  

 You got illegally to try a bird scooter :)

4th grade so far

Shocker -you got picked to be in LIT - the book club for your 4th grade club. Ya'll are planning a community event to discuss and celebrate Wishtree. 

You got your hair trimmed last weekend, with specific instructions to not cut any length. 

 You complained and didn't want to go the Touch a truck event, but guess what - you were first person on the helicopter and you had fun acting like June was scooping you up in the digger.

You also had fun at the Jane Mount signing. You did not listen to her at all- instead had fun looking at all the books at Parnassas and got excited when you heard that Kate DiCamillo was coming for a signing soon.

The face of girl that made a cake, then we tried to get June to stick her face in it. She did not, but she was super excited to eat your cake.
