Growing girls, Spirit week

Dear Maya and Emi,

Another quick post because mommy is low on time and low on quality photos to share. 'October is to photographers as April is to accountants.' Mommy'd heard that before but this year we're really living it! Luckily you guys are having lots of quality time with daddy while mommy is working.

Emi made a tower and a boat on her own!

"The apples Baba picked with me" (suddenly Maya's writing a lot of letters backwards,
but we're so proud that she's trying to spell so many words and sentences)

"The dinosaurs"

Daily dress up time

Our buddy Natalie's birthday party!

This morning is the only time in ages mommy has pointed a real camera at one of you instead of my inferior cell phone camera. Emi, you're getting so big and you look so adorable with your ponytail. We are so proud of all you're learning these days and constantly surprised at the words and sentences you come out with. Lately you often stick "now" into your questions and it sounds like you're admonishing us when you say "What's that now?" Too funny!

The week before last was Spirit Week at your school, Maya. Each day you had to wear something different and most days weren't too hard. Crazy hair day found mommy chasing you to the bus with my finger caught in your hair, though. That was crazy, all right.

Monday: Dress Up Day

Tuesday: Pajama Day

Wednesday: Crazy Hair Day

Thursday: Sports Team Day

Friday: School Spirit Day (orange and white)

Well, mommy needs to get some work done. Love you both!
