Family Contra Dancing - Buena Vista School Dance

Buena Vista Elementary Dinner and Dance March 14, 2014

All for $5 we got very yummy Southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes, collard greens, etc (after a REALLY long line), but the family contra dancing - with a caller and fabulous live band - was the BEST! (Patty Cake Polka, even).

Olivia loves high-jumping with Daddy (and Grandpa, for that matter).

Sew Fun!

January 14, 2014

Olivia just learned to hand sew and she made her own sewing pouch (contains thread, a needle book she made, extra buttons and "anything I want!").

Olivia loves Bemis Art School!

This is maybe her 4th time at Bemis' "Family Adventure Day" free art making event. It's pretty much her favorite thing in the world.

When we got home, she did more drawing and coloring.

Beets for dinner!

 Beets tonight for dinner! Olivia helped Jeremy plant, tend and harvest a pretty fabulous garden this year. This is the last harvest of the season. We'll roast the beets and carrots (hiding under there) and serve them with pork tenderloin with glazed apples and roasted red potatoes - Grandma & Grandpa are coming for dinner tonight!

Who teaches a 4 year old to play chess?!

The girl can swing

Three times today Olivia got on the swing by herself and pumped her legs to swing high!

Here's how tickelish Olivia is! ;-)

Look ma, no hands!

Tounge with Sound

Her new stuff is coming fast and furious. She started clapping in earnest less than a week ago, and now tonight she's mimicking me with the tounge. She's endlessly entertaining!

Killer smile

 

Airplane spoon fun!
