BACK TO SCHOOL week....gone are the fun holidays and family time and back are the school days and extra curricular activities in full swing!  

MK came home on Tuesday with a special treat in her bag.  About a month ago, she was awarded this certificate of achievement during a school wide performance.  Her teacher sent me a text and said that MK looked a little embarrassed by the attention but she smiled as she got to pick out her choice of special activities to take home.  As a result, our family gets to spend a fun day with MK at a local amusement park for FREE.  Love!  What an honor it was for her to be chosen.  Only 4 children in the whole school are chosen each quarter and they must be recommended by their teacher.

 With school in, homework began and Maddox did not want MK to work alone so she practiced her handwriting following an afternoon of ballet.

 One morning, Maddox quietly gathered some of her favorite dolls and Cotton Ball  for a little clothing and accessory makeover.  

 The weather here is abnormally HOT.  Like 83 degrees hot.  In January.  So, we took it upon ourselves to get out and soak up some of the bright yellow stuff.  The boys received fishing poles for Christmas and they were very excited to go to our neighborhood pond and put them to use!

 Pryce needed a helper during school one day.....Finley to the rescue!

 Little miss will be receiving a new helmet for her half birthday that is coming up!  She puts Cruella DeVille to shame, slinging her bike this way and that while fishtailing for an added flair.  The faster the better; swerving to miss something in the road or in her path is just an added bonus to her three wheeled adventure.  

  Our sweet girls.  So glad to see this more and more. Their relationship continues to flourish minus a few squabbles here and there.  I just love that they enjoy their time together.

 And a night with one of MK's besties.  The girls were so cute together dressing up, painting nails, applying glitter tattoos, curling hair.....these two have been together from the very beginning and their little friendship is precious!
