Labor Day---according to Quincy

Driving to ballet the other evening Quincy decided to educate us on why we were having a three day weekend.  Quincy:  This Monday is Labor Day so we need to laze around the house thinking about people who work.  Huh.

Here is what they actually did on Labor Day (not much lazing around---but it was fun!).

 

 One of their new games is to hop on their bouncy-balls while they use their hula-hoops as horse-reins. (??)

 

 Quincy did get the meaning of Labor Day kind-of correct when she had Ellie carry her from room-to-room on her back. 

 

 

 

 ...and we finished the last of the Avatar series (sob, sniff-sniff).  It was such a great series (for all of us, not just the girls) that it was like saying good-bye to an old friend when the last episode ended.  Tim (I swear this was not me!) had the girls dress as Katara and Zuko (complete with face-paint and appropriate hairdos) for the last episode.  Tim went as Aang.  Otis was Aapa.  Again---Nerd humor.  But they are my nerds!
 

This is how I found them when I went in to say good-night.  I love them.  They are awesome :)

Where did August go?

 Quincy is excited that she gets to do pretty much the same things that Ellie did last year in Kindergarten...like make a bear hat (???).

 The girl's favorite books are the Pippi Longstocking series and anything by Roald Dahl (Matilda being their favorite). 

 The last pool session before the pools closed for the year :(

 

 

 The girls tried their hand at water-bending (if Aang the Avatar can do it so can they).  This is Nerd-Humor.

 

 Ellie is back in soccer---and sooooooo happy about it.  And Quincy is equally happy she is not in soccer!  She prefers to sit on the side-lines and read.

 

 Piano is back in session---Haemi is still their teacher (and we are ALL soooo happy about that!).  We love Haemi.

And, lastly, ballet began again.  The three amigos are back together for another season. 

Happy September!
