Snack Violation

"Evidently I'm in violation of having a snack and not offering my sister one!"-Grace

This was the statement that Grace greeted me with when I came into the kitchen before leaving for bootcamp this afternoon. Something about the look on her face (seen here) and what she said just totally cracked me up. This post would be even funnier had I thought to snap of quick picture of Sheriff Emma, complete with officer's badge and notepad in hand, having clearly just written her sister's snack violation! xo

Last Saturday

 Grace and Emma hard at work assembling race car treats for the bake sale at the Pinewood Derby! 

 Heather chats with the girls before they practice the Flag Ceremony.

 The Flag Ceremony to kick off the Derby begins. 

 The Daisy race. 

 "On your marks, get set, go!" 

 Grace's car is ready to race!

 Watching as her car goes down the track. 

The leaders and girls of troop 76205. 

And so ends another fabulous Derby! The girls all worked so hard to make this day a huge success and that certainly paid off! Eighty-three racers participated that night and everyone had a wonderful time! Well done, ladies! Looking forward to next year already! xo

From Gramma Terri And Grandpa Gene

 Looking through my phone tonight I realized I hadn't yet shared these pictures from Christmas. My parents gave the girls some new items for their fairy houses but the girls decided to use them in their Calico Critters dollhouse instead! 

 They had a few other items from the gift and decided that they would put them in the fairy garden that currently lives in the master bedroom. They look so sweet in there!

Many thanks to my parents for the wonderful new additions to their fairy house collection! xo

This Morning

On Thursdays we ski (and warm up with hot chocolate)! xo

Wordless Wednesday::A Quiet Moment

{This Moment} Finishing Touches

{This Moment} A weekend ritual. A single photo (or three) -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. We wish you a lovely weekend. xo 

Derby Car Preparations

 Emma adds some sparkle to her snowflake car. 

Grace paints the branch on her car. 

Just a few pictures from earlier this week! Their cars are looking great and they are looking forward to the race on Saturday! xo
