Cosley Zoo

Grannies on the porch, just waiting for their ride.

This duck (who apparently accompanied Haley today) is wearing a newborn diaper.  Hard to believe Violet will be wearing these soon!

 Time for Cosley Zoo.

 Lunch of champions.

 Worse!

 Good job, duck.

Parks after school

Apparently story time...

...now involves dancing.

 Fancy!

 It's finally good enough weather for visiting parks after school.

 Yay, 70 degrees!

Bailey at the counter

Lucky Bailey!  She shared a snack with Haley before sports class.

 First, Coach Ed timed some laps...

 ...and then it was outside for lacrosse.

 Back to work.

 Pretty terrible pictures of Stephie.

 She was too busy reading to be bothered.

The tulips at Cantigny

It may not feel super springy at 55 degrees and windy, but we did enjoy seeing the beautiful tulip gardens at Cantigny today.

Dance, gymnastics, and Belle

It was observation week at dance class.  Mommy observed a whole lot of this.

 "Turtle shells."

 We stopped for a snack and a wardrobe change on the way to...

 ...a new gymnastics class.

 Finally, a double dose of Belle.

Countdown to Violet

28 days and counting!  The girls each have their own countdown chains.

 Haley worked on new United States workbook.

 She also baked some biscuits.  Yum!

 Finally, check out their latest plush craft kits.  Completed!

Thank-you notes

We don't know who this other little girl is.  We do know, however, that Haley has been enjoying music class with her.

 Begrudgingly doing her thank-you notes to her teachers for such a great year...

 ...and looking hard for any tiny excuse to put it off!
