2. Speaking of dance rehearsals...this little dancer was cast as a battle mouse in Ballet Brazos' 6th annual production of The Nutcracker! Her emotions about the role - as well as a variety of other life events - have ebbed and flowed quite a few times throughout the last week, but I think she has finally landed on both happy about the part and proud of herself, and for that, I am grateful.
3. This little (big?) soccer player joined ball crew at last weekend's Aggie soccer game (they won, 2-0) and earned himself the title of hardest working ball boy around. He may not have taken the field as a player, but watching him hustle and do his absolute best to serve the Aggie players made me proud none-the-less!
4. On Monday I wrote a post about how I send my kids off to school with the words "work hard and be kind" fresh in their minds. Later in the week Hallie's teacher wrote this note in her planner:
My work here is done.
Just kidding. We still have a long way to go, but we're on the right track.
5. Happiness Highlights:
Hallie learned how to do the baby freeze in hip hop, so now they practice the baby freeze together before they go to bed. |
Will finished his first intermediate school project! (I had to walk away when he started gluing those pictures though...me and my OCD couldn't handle how little he cared about their positioning.) |
My oven door broke (with a pan of cookies inside), but I fixed it "all by my big girl self"...using my flowered screwdriver gifted to me by my mom and Hallie's tools. |
These two...I can't even. |
Happy Friday, Chasing Roots!
