kalia in the big girl jumpy- going down the slide!
she was such a big girl and there were tons of kids in there,
we were really proud. she kept going around and around.

the girls enjoying the music and dancers!

So tonight Maya didn't want to eat dinner again (it might have been the bag of cashews that she, Kalia & I polished off after 2 hours at the pool), she ate 5 edemame. Anyway, she was cruising around the living and then goes to Kalia's room and comes back and says to us, "Mommy, give me some space!" (she said it several times). Maybe you had to be there, but it was the tone in her voice and the look on her face- like we were flash forwarding 10 years. I do say to Maya "Give your sister some space" when she's lying on her or otherwise invading her personal space and driving her crazy and Kalia has started saying, "Maya give me some space!" But it came out at a really odd time and with such attitude!

This morning, I was completely fired up and wanted to get a bunch of things done- clean, laundry, vacuum and then I wanted to do something really fun with the girls- pool, library- whatever. They were totally unmotivated and at first I'll admit that frustrated me- but they just wanted to cruise at home. So I finally just went with it. We ended up having a tea picnic in Kalia's room and to surprise them, I brought in snacks and the lunch I had made for us to eat out and we had a real picnic. I even put water in the tea pot- the blanket was soaking, but we all had a fun time. Let it go- I really need to do that more.
