Fun Day At Scheels

I forgot to put the pictures from our fun and cheap trip to Scheels.  Natalie had a great time! She got to ride the ferris wheel for the first time, pose with the fun animals (but the presidents were terrifying to her) and eat some ice cream!  Lots of fun!

Last Summer Days with Mommy

Our summer is wrapping up, but we have still been having plenty of fun together. We bought this puppet set at Hobby Lobby and had a ton of fun with it. We also played color and shape bingo and just enjoyed each other's company.
But don't worry about Nat. She can't wait to go back to school! She keeps asking when she gets to go back. I reply soon. Her response: I can't wait for soon!

Natalie's First Dance Performance

Natalie had her first dance performance at her last dance class. This was simply her last class but the parents got to come in and watch. Natalie did a great job but she got extremely irritated with the other three girls not following directions (she is such a perfectionist/little teacher...I have no idea where she gets it!). I am still not sure if we will take dance again in the fall- I think we will do music and art instead- she seems to enjoy those areas more.

Ham-a-burger

I love how Natalie says hamburger. She likes adding extra syllables to words, and I find it adorable. She made this "ham-a-burger" at the Rochester library for their story time program.

Weekend with Great Aunt Cindy

Natalie has been enjoying a wonderful visit with her great aunt Cindy. She got to play outside with her, play on the iPad, and the best part was a fun half-birthday party with making fun cupcakes and enjoying a neat cake toy. It was a great time!

Natalie Loves Her Family!

Family is so important to Natalie!

Music class and Dance Class

Another one of the many bonuses of staying home over the summer is that I get to take Natalie to music and dance class. She went to music class last year and she loved it just as much this year. Dance class is something new that she has also enjoyed. I don't get to stay with her for dance class, API am not positive how much she loves it. I get to watch the last class so maybe I will be able to see more then!
