Princess Charlie

Sometimes I try to distract my kids from their bad mood.

Sometimes Charlie is a victim. A beautiful victim.

Skating!

This past weekend we took the girls skating for the first time. I would like to mention that taking photos while balancing on rollerblades and simultaneously catching toddlers and steadying a stroller is a pretty big task to no photo critics, eh?

For the most part the girls did really well. Our local roller rink has the plastic skates that go over their shoes and they even allow/rent out strollers.

Craig cracked some jokes about Maddy and I being alike after some of her tears. Apparently we are both a little annoyed by not being instantly fabulous at something. He referenced some skiing trips that resulted in a few big girl teary moments... She did get back up and try again though :)

It was difficult to get good action shots....

Mom... aren't YOU supposed to be the one pushing this thing?

Cheese!

 Lean forward a little and band your knees.... nice work Georgie!

Somehow this was also the first time the girls had heard the "Hokey Pokey" and as a result they are a little obsessed now. Here's a blurry hokey pokey shot. Shake it all about!
