Make

I participated in a bag making workshop this week and designed, patterned, and made a bag! It was a lot of fun.

Nicky Mouse

1. Vada says Nicky Mouse instead of Mickey Mouse which is too cute to even correct.
2. Angeline and Adelaide sent Vada a box of goodies that will not be topped in a long time. It included this Minnie Mouse costume that I think was originally Jade’s?
3. Vada did an impressive pose off in the mirror and decided that this outfit was a strong contender for Halloween. Her final decision though she told me is a secret.

Balloon flower

Vada and I enjoy going to the Beaverton Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. This week Vada got a balloon flower and proceeded to dance all around the play area with it. She claims it is the best thing ever.

Warrior Dash

Last Sunday I competed in a Warrior Dash with some friends from work. It was the dirtiest thing I have ever done.

Birthday sign up sheet

Vada created a sign up sheet at preschool this week for her birthday. She had her friends sign it if they wanted to come to her party. It doesn’t have everyone’s name on it because she said she ran out of time. My guess is she was busy on the monkey bars.

Timothy Lake

Vada and I headed off for a camping trip with friends this past weekend. We met with generally the same crew from the music festival in July. So lots of kids Vada’s age running around like crazy. It was a lot of fun. Vada even tried out a canoe and stand up paddle board with me. Yay for positive peer pressure of other kids trying things!

Old friends & monkey bars.

Vada’s preschool room transitions this week with older friends leaving for kindergarden and new younger friends joining. The old friends all helped the teachers fill out these cards by saying what they liked about each other. Vada got a lot of hits for monkey bars!
