Annie's new favorite song is "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" and she knows how to play it on the ipod downstairs.


Cecilia can be throwing a fit, but if she asks permission to do something and I say "yes" she breaks out into dance singing, "mommy said yes, mommy said yes"


Charity insists that the red sparkly dress with white santa fur on it is the ONLY party dress she owns. I have hidden it in storage and still had to argue about it this morning. She dug out a red and green plaid Christmas dress and agreed that she could wear it today.

If you say, "I don't have _____" Charity will be quick to proclaim "I KNOW!!!!! you can get that for CHRISTMAS!!!" She still does this, even though it is almost April.

I have decided that the house is much quieter when Annie is not home. It's not that Annie us unruly, but she facilitate elaborate "play." Usually this requires everyone to change clothes and the furniture must be re-arranged.

Trinity is far too much like me. If anything happens to her, I instinctively react as if it were ME. She has a tender heart, but is surprisingly TOUGH when it comes to physical pain.

Trinity's puppet show

Written, directed, performed by Trinity Mette:

The Cowboy Song.

Each Friday at school is known as "Fabulous Friday". The kids dress up and where blazers as opposed to dressing down. They usually do several things throughout the day to learn about a specific culture of an area that speaks their language of Immersion (for my kids Spanish). To kick off each Friday, the have a presentation in the gym. Each class is assigned a Friday and they then entertain the school with a song, play, or dance.
    They never take themselves too seriously or spend too much class time preparing a "perfect" presentation. Instead they involve all the kids and try to have a good time.  
   March 3rd was Trinity's class's turn to present.  Trinity was excited because she got to dress as a cowboy and she was chosen as one of 2 girls who would get to play the violin. (and by "play" I mean they got to hold a toy one and move their arms). You can see that Trinity took her job VERY seriously.


I'll spare you from watching a 4 min video of the whole song. You know what they say, a strong beginning and a strong ending will leave a good impression. Here you go!
