We decided it was about time to introduce the kids to roller skating. So we took them out to a rink and they both made valiant efforts to not fall down. However, gravity combined with wheels is a mighty opponent. So we decided to get Aria a little roller walker to help her stay up. Aria was brave enough to get on the main roller rink with Tara behind her pushing the walker. Zade didn't really use a walker much, and he was perfectly content to just skate on the carpet. We were proud of them for trying their best and by the end, we were all exhausted. They were tired, and we were tired of holding them up. :)
Zade was probably more into the arcade than skating.
CRAFT DAY
Every Friday the kids have a rotating craft day at different people's houses. This past Friday we were at Aria's friend Salem's house. The kids went on a treasure hunt following shamrocks for the treasure, which ended up being chocolate gold coins, skittles, and marshmallows. The kids made rainbows out of them:
KITTIES
Aria, within the past 2 months, has developed a deep interest in the cats. She loves to play with them, and make special beds for them. One of her favorite things to do is put them in their traveling carriers and talk to them, which the kitties utterly detest. (We don't blame them). Every night Aria wants the cats to sleep in her room, so we have to hunt them down in the house, put them in her room, and close the door so they don't escape. After she falls asleep we let them out, much to their relief.
Aria has also recently gotten into watching Tiny Toons. She loves the character of Elmyra, perhaps because of their shared love for animals. :)
