Musical test

I took this test on the web today, that tests musical perception. I got a 28 out of 30 - it was kind of interesting, and I thought whatever readers I have might enjoy it.

Musical Perception Test

Princess Party

I'm really liking the ability to link in the short movies I take with my camera.

Ellie went to a party this afternoon where all the girls dressed up like princesses (Ellie wore her Tinkerbell costume), got their hair fixed, nails done and some makeup put on. Then they played funky music, danced and had a little fashion show. She had a lot of fun.

Not Your Birthday

I found a place that will host my short videos - let's see if this link works.

It's a video of Sammy blowing out the candles on his fourth birthday. The child on the right side of the picture is his friend Ethan, who developed an uncontrollable need to sneeze, and accidentally blow out the candles while we were singing. I laugh every time I watch this.

Braceface

Maddie got her braces today - top and bottom. I took a picture before and after, for posterity.

Don't try this at home

This weekend we rented a house with some friends by Lake Livingston. Our four kids and their four kids had a great time riding bikes, playing games and fishing. Here they are all getting ready to ride to the marina - IN THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK. For sheltered, suburban kids, this is a treat.
