More Saturday sports

After basketball game #1 and the Little League parade, it was off to indoor soccer,followed by St Ignatius basketball.After a mishap that resulted in tears, I asked Avery if some chocolate milk would help. We walked over to Starbuck’s. As it turned out, chocolate milk AND a brownie was the best cure.

She preparing for the day when her parents let her have a pet-sometime before Carson’s 2nd birthday. Which means Thais and Lenin only have 11 months and 2 weeks to figure out how to dissuade her. Good luck.dsc04804About to wake up after getting home from daycare.dsc04811Wrestling with Mom while Carter keeps on eye on things.dsc04814

Career day

At St Ignatius, you dress up as your career choice. Avery was a paleontologist and I’m sure his specialty would be finding dinosaur fossils. Sophia was a pop star. She told me a couple of other students came as singers. Just singers actually. A pop star is different. You have to have style and attitude to be a pop star.fullsizerender-1
