Week 8 of 52

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I'm a couple weeks behind. Sigh. Get over it. We've had some busy weeks and the next few will be busy too. And hopefully more exciting than what these pix make our lives out to be!

More puzzles - this kid is a puzzle freak! Mastering a 24-piece straight out of the box.

We had a short lesson in edge pieces and then she took off on her own.

(Yes, her hair was a little busy - fun, though!)

Love this for 2 reasons:

#1 This outfit is a hand-me-down from a friend...Mari doesn't usually like to wear anything but blue jeans but she loves this outfit.

#2 The look on her face is priceless....it's her "robot dinosaur" face. Don't ask.

A little blurry but Mari was SO proud that she finally managed to ride and pedal at the same time. She got this bike over a year ago and is just now (barely) tall enough to reach the pedals!)

Love the hair, Love the shirt, LOVE THIS KID!
But when did she grow up?

2 hours of hair time, 1 beader, 120 beads, dozens of failed hair snaps, dozens of black rubber bands, hundreds of mommy tears.
1 gasp of "Mommy, Mommy, look at my beads!!!!"
I'll do it all over again.

Trying to keep someone occupied by challenging her more. Dumped all her puzzles and told her to put them together. Kept her busy for 20 minutes but she was unimpressed.

Mari discovered a Hoops and YoYo musical card on Grandma's keyboard. I think you can tell by her expression what she thought of them!
