A supper of spaghetti turned into a colorful mustache as Claire ate her fill and demanded more sustenance last night.  I was out of pasta and offered her some roasted beets which she had turned down earlier.

I worked so hard to get this picture of Claire and Isabella hanging on the monkey bars together…I think it took about 20 takes…just as Claire would start hanging Bella would jump off and vice versa.

NO!

Look at Claire flexing her super strong biceps! She’s really been putting a lot of time in at the playground gym. Wowee kid, you sure are looking buff and tough! I snapped this picture just after Claire’s attempt at blowing bubbles – what a proud moment it was indeed. Here’s another snapshot with her hands blurred from fervent flexing lol: Ok – just one last … Continue reading Miss Muscles
