Preschool (Il)Logic QOTD

Maya: (punching herself in the face) Mommy I have hard hands!

Me: Then you probably shouldn't punch yourself in the face!

Maya: (pausing to think about it) Yeah.

 

Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Here are the Timehops. The first one I wrote about on Sunday:

 

Then we have the fall leaf pile picture with Maya:

 

And both girls:

 

Weekend Wrap-Up: The 39-Month-Old Edition!

It is the 23rd and Maya is another month older! Her new favorite thing to do is get herself dressed in the morning. It takes forever, but she does a pretty decent job. This morning she came down wearing this:

 

And then I looked on my Timehop and saw this:

 

How did that happen? She fits into the big girl version of the first matching outfits!

She is sassy and sweet and the biggest goofball I know. She can spell her name (though not on video- I have tried countless times) and is so excited about learning.

 

The mental gymnastics it takes to deal with her lack of reason and logic is exhausting, but her squishy smile is the best.

 

And guess what, y'all? The kitty hat is BACK!

 

On to our super fun weekend! We started it out yesterday morning by going to the Nature center near our house.

 

Then we made a leaf project.

 

And then there was some putting practice on the new putting green Chris ordered with my Amazon account "for the girls."

 

The girls and I went to the park with Hanna.

 

And ended the day at Uncle Dan's house for dinner and playtime with Shambles! Whew!

 

Today was less chaotic. There was church and then we went to Boom's house (and visited Elliott again).

 

We did lots of raking this afternoon and I finally got around to making my favorite potato corn chowder soup (my mom's recipe).

I also created a treasure hunt for the girls and Snapchatted part of it!

Hope you all had a great MEA weekend. 

 

A Picture Update

Happy MEA weekend!

I had yesterday and today off...so the girls and I spent 2 solid days together.  I'm tired. :)

We spent time outside, got flu shots (followed by ice cream!), played at our house, played at Boom's house, visited Elliott, and raked ourselves a big ol' leave pile.

Earlier this week, Maya hung out with Boom on Monday, and both girls hung out with G-ma on Wednesday.

Callie and I each got back our school pictures this past week.  I think it is safe to say we look related.

Lastly, last night was the championship game for the Lynx.  The game ended in a heartbreaking series of events that you can read about if you google "game 5 WNBA championship."  We lost by 1 point and it was unbelievable.  I went with my mom, and we sat courtside, and the place was PACKED.  G-ma and Pa came over to our house to watch the game with Chris and the girls.  And they saw us on TV! As did Mari and my friend Libby, who sent screenshots!

So proud of the Lynx.  They are a fantastic group of athletes, and we can't wait until next season!

Have a great weekend.

God Bless Maya Leigh!

Maya was baptized three years ago today! Here we are with Uncle Joe, who baptized her, and her two Godmothers. 

 

One of my very favorite pictures of my dad came from this baptism weekend. We had a lot of family over to our house one night, and he was holding Maya after dinner. His smile lit up the room.

 

It was after this picture was taken that we started calling her his mini-me.

I'm so grateful that Maya's middle name is Leigh, inspired by her Bops.

Timehop Tuesday

Hey all! It's Tuesday again. They come up fast every week!

First up: Callie. She looks so dang old now.

 

Next up: Maya and her cute mischevious face.

 

Lastly, the girls:

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday!

The big event of our weekend was Laura Suurmeyer's wedding!!!! The girls spent the night at G-ma and Pa's house so we could actually enjoy ourselves at the wedding. :)

 

The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so much fun! There was a live band, great food and wonderful people.

 

 

 

It was my goal to get a picture of all of the original Henderson/Suurmeyers with each of their spouses. Mission accomplished!!

 

My next goal is to dig up a picture of the original 7 from our middle school years to do a side-by-side. Stay tuned for that!

The girls had a great time at their sleepover.

 

Today was spent cleaning. But it was worth it for our Lynx party! 

 

The game starts in 10 minutes and they have to win or the season is done. Fingers crossed!
