Much like last week, we have been home a lot the past seven days. But we have been busy…
Earning gold belts, awards for best belt tester, and invitations to the black belt club.
Hanging out with Grandma.
Practicing handstands (which by the way is something else I also cannot do).
A certain someone might have found her love of markers (again).
Good thing I have these Raspberry, Pomegranate, Mango Sorbet cocktails to drink/eat (an awesome cocktail dessert).
We did get out of the house a few times since the park is the best place to break in a new pair of pink cowboy boots.
And I had to show off the kid’s new Angry Bird hat.
Maybe I shouldn’t give the hat back.

You totally rocked the hat.
Also, I wouldn’t mess with H!

I wouldn’t either. She’s kicking butt in martial arts.

It sure seems that way.
I love the marker on the face one! Looks like you guys are doing great

She was so proud of her “makeup.”
I am picturing the three of you walking around: you in the hat, L in the marker-face with the boots, and H in her uniform. Collapsing into giggles.

I’m sure that’s a fabulous picture in your head.
I am surprised you can even make it to the park, it is Blazing Hot here. Nevertheless, the pink cowboy boots were an excellent choice.

We’ve been going to the park first thing in the morning before it gets hot.

The hat suits you! I could never do a hand stand properly either and middle just hops right to it. She has a bit of a gymnast in her. Have a good weekend. I’ll try to link up tomorrow if I find the time! Been a busy week.

I’ve never had the talent to be a gymnast but both my kids seem to be pretty good at it.
That is three generations of lady-fabulousness right there.
And the markers? Oh my.
Too dang cute.

I’m thinking about banning markers from my house for good.
Hooray for martial arts and loving that hat on you!
I am looking forward to getting my oldest in Taekwondo when he turns 4 in February. Both my husband and I are blackbelts so it will be a great way to teach fitness as a family.

I’m sure your little one will enjoy it. My daughter has really had fun in martial arts and I’ve seen a major improvement in her coordination.

I will. Thank you!
THOSE BOOTS ARE AWESOME. Wow. I love them.
And the hat too, of course.

The boots are super fancy with butterflies and flowers on the side. Maybe one day Baby Track will have some of her own.

She is SO cute with her marker face. And awesome martial arts accomplishments!! Love the hat, too, even if you did steal it.
Greta recently posted..Caught. #iPPP
She is a pro at coloring her face with markers. Sigh.
All of you are looking bad ass!
Do you know that I have never played Angry Birds. Lucas has because Daddy has it on his phone, but I refuse to cave!
Tonya recently posted..Class Of 2026
I’ve only played it once or twice. I refuse to let myself become addicted to it.

Sorbet is delicious, especially when in cocktails.
