M THE CHEF

 M has been taking a cooking class after school

so she has become really interested in cooking.

She wanted to help make dinner 

so she made an Indian dish.

The only thing I did was cut the meat but the rest she did.

It was so yummy!!

BFF

TUG OF WAR

M and Little Kitten

playing tug of war 

with some rope.

Pretty funny.  

Little Kitten pulled and pulled. 

SKUNK

We have several skunks in our neighborhood. 

Hubby went to walk the dogs 

and I heard him yell something and come back in the house.

There was a cute skunk digging 

ferociously

in our front yard.

We would not be scared away

and dug up our lawn for over an hour.  

HELPING TO PLAY VIOLIN

Little Kitten helping M to play violin.

She always sits near M when she practices her music. 

YOGA IN THE PARK

M has been bugging me for over a year

to do a yoga class.

I just couldn't find one that was affordable for both of us

and then I found this one that is done in the park.

The whole family went and had a great time.

Hubby even wants to go back.

It was such a lovely setting

on top of a hill

with an ocean view

and an ocean breeze....

perfect!

Felt great after. 

HAPPY B-DAY SIS
