perfect timing
i already post this picture and a few more of these over on 365,
but what i really want to write about {so i can remember later}
are the moments of perfect timing...
saturday was a beautiful day at lake geneva.
we got in a great morning run.
we had the golf courses to ourselves.
the kids had a blast running around and tiring themselves out.
this was perfect timing because...
it rained ALL DAY LONG on sunday.
freezing.cold.rain.
which was also perfect excuse not to run the golf course again -
the hills killed me on saturday!!

we left freezing rain covered wisconsin on monday morning.
the day before michigan had gotten a lot of snow.
there was green grass when we left on friday :(
this cell phone picture does not do it justice -
but when we got home there were at least 8 inches in our driveway,
not to mention all the snow that the plow had put in front of our driveway!
just as we pulled up to the house -
my dad showed up with his snowblower.
does perfect timing get any better than that???

now if spring could arrive this weekend,
than that would truly be perfect timing!

minor delay
the morning we left for wisconsin
we experienced a bit of a minor delay.
the suburban decided it needed a new transmission.
so rented a car that would hold all of us
and headed out.
i can't complain too much -
the car was fine, chicago traffic was no problem and we got to our destination.

unfortunately we couldn't find a car with a dvd player
and josie NEEDS a movie to fall asleep in the car.
what a fun car ride that was!!!
threats of tying her to the roof may or may not have been made {ha ha}

and yes, we might need to buy some benadryl for the ride home!!

her turn
being little definitely has it's perks.
no one knows that better than josie!
but finally she's old enough to do something
she's watched her sister do...
*** DANCE CLINIC **
i have to admit, i wasn't sure how this was going to go.
josie has NEVER done anything without us before.
i even asked if i could pay for josie AFTER the first practice
because i pretty much expected her to not want to do it.
but i was SO wrong.
this was the perfect setup for josie.
while the parents fill out the paperwork,
the high school dancers take the kids to a different room
and get them started on get-to-know-you games.
so before i even realized it, josie was gone.
after i got the girls signed in,
i went back to their practice room and josie was glued to olivia's side but doing fine.
once everyone was checked in the girls had to split up into their age groups.
i was sure this was when josie would come running back to me.
nope!
how cute are these little dancers???
way to go, josie!
it's so fun to see you excited about doing something all on your own!!
you are getting so big :)
stay tuned for josie's big dance performance...
hopefully i haven't jinxed it!
