Be warned. It skips!

Turkey Recital

Yesterday Isabelle had a mini recital in her ballet class!!! I almost cried it was so cute. Of course what a terrible time for my phone to act up and the video messed up so bad... Next time I vow to bring my nice camera and take HD video.

Isabelle did so great and it was nice to see that she actually likes ballet!

The next one she has is in December so get ready for cuteness. I may just post the video I have but be warned it skips!!

Swinging Solo

Look at her go!! I am so impressed! I still have to help her out a little but once she gets going she can swing!!

Riding a Bike

Last week I sold a baby stroller so I bought Isabelle a bike with the money! I figure she grew up past the stroller phase and can move forward. Honestly I didn't think it would be that fast... She is truly growing up before my eyes.

Swap

Today we ventured to the zoo... Again. This time Isabelle dressed up and brought some shells to turn into the swap store! We met our Brazillian buddies Cambrey and Ian and enjoyed a day out.

Here are the photos of her at the swap store. She had to tell what she brought and a little about what she learned. Today shells included a roller, a twister, a slipper, a turkey wing and some others. Of course those where the names that Grandpa Warren always gave the shells... Turns out the names differ just a little ;) but we still got points!

We actually spent about 35 minutes in the room, which for a three year old that's amazing!! She loves the bones, rocks and shells! She ended up swapping the shells for a river rock and a purple shell. Seems anticlimactic to me but she didn't let go of them the entire day. Girl love to learns.

Side note: she can spell her first and last name! Smarty pants ;)

Boo at the Zoo

We headed out to the zoo with friends to participate in the trick or treat event they hold each year! Thankfully we made sure to go at opening time and enjoyed a relatively easy weekend day at the park.

I have to say Isabelle seems to be the happiest at the zoo. This time the bug exhibit caught her attention as well as the swap room. The swap room holds all the things that kids can bring in, like cleaned shells/bones/rocks, and earn points by doing research on what they bring! Next time we visit the zoo she plans to bring some shells ;) from Florida that she found.

With the weather being awesome I plan to make a trip to the zoo each week. If it happens to rain then we will go to the Natural Science and History Museum. Life is great.

New Nose

So I practically take ten pictures a day of my ever changing nose! The swelling comes and goes along with pain. The pain comes in various forms from my teeth to brushing my hair. Basically my entire face hurts at some point during the day. Morning seems to be the worst with all the swelling that must occur while I sleep. Throughout the day the dull pain is tolerable but sometimes escalates to the point of needing a caffeine kick including a coca cola and two excedrine.

I have to say though that my life has changed for the better for small fact that I can breathe now!! Which means I can sleep!! I am just so happy.

Rain Boots

They go with everything ;)

Park with a View

We discovered Northshore park the other day! What a wonderful place to feed the ducks and take in the surrounding nature. I am loving where we are living with each passing discovery!! This little park sits just west of Isabelle's school. Later in the fall we plan to have meet ups after school!
