Weekend

Lilly has always been a daredevil - anyone who knows her knows this. The other day I heard, "Hey Mommy - can you help me?" It was muffled. I'm used to finding Lilly in crazy predicaments and this was no different...

She said she was helping me fold the clothes...

Last week I (finally) signed Lilly up for dance class. She's been begging us to take a "deencing class." She will start January 6 at Marcia Hyland School of Dance. She is SO EXCITED. She will be taking the class on her own (I will not be in the room) for an hour a week. They are required to wear a leotard, tights, and black ballet shoes. Saturday we went to Danskin to buy her what she needed. When we got home she was excited to put on the outfit. She danced for us on top of the coffee table (I know I know). I was trying to get a picture of her in her outfit but her back was to me. Andy was standing next to the table. I couldn't see her face but all of the sudden I saw her leap and Andy leap... Andy doesn't move that quickly often (he's very laid back). I snapped the shot and then asked Andy what happened.

Apparently she'd been standing on the edge of the table opening and closing her eyes (we now know she was judging distance). Then apparently she jumped with her eyes CLOSED; hence the fast moving on Andy's part.

I hope I survive Lillyhood! Here's the shot...

Sunday we stayed home all day since it was icy when we woke up. Lilly helped me make chex mix - yummy! We also watched the Redskins beat the Eagles!! Woo hoo! Lilly helped break the pretzles for the chex mix.

Here's what Ella did while we baked...
