Around Here

Life has been busy. 
We are on an end of school year countdown.
 This guy always has his nose in a book these days. Remind you of someone else?? 
 walking for water with my friend and her mom 
 Greta's new record player. The cat LOVES it. 
 The kids are still volunteering their time and reading to shelter animals. Can you find the cat? 
 This boy loves his blueberries
Loving these sunny days. Longer days for playing outside and doing chemistry experiments with friends in the backyard. 

She Can Hurdle

 So I only asked her one thing when she decided to do track..."Please, don't hurdle" I knew I would have trouble watching it... So this girl, who hates to run decided that she would try to do track to push herself to do something she hates. I thought, Wow that is great, good job, Gret. Then she came home after the first practice and said " I LOVE THE HURDLES". Well, great. 
 Greta at her first meet (above) on the 4 by 100 relay. 
Her "Hurdle Knees" 
Yep, surprise. This girl can hurdle. She got 2nd all around at the meet... 

Seriously.. The Birthday Continues

Greta had a few of her best friends over for a sleepover birthday and to figure out an Escape Room game together. 


 Getting to work. These gals are SMART and they were locked in a room for a hour with a timer counting down, riddles and clues and they figured it out! It took 66 minutes but they did it and there was alot of math involved. They showed me the clues and I was so lost.... 
 Right before the timer... 
 This cat was thrilled when they went upstairs for the evening and left her "spot" alone.
