Hummel
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Shopping
Tytöt saivat Nona K.lta ihanan yllätyksen, Hummelin sporttisia vaatteita. Nämä aiheuttivat ihan rehellisiä riemunkiljahduksia! Asuihin kuuluu legginsit, pitkähihaiset paidat ja vielä vetoketjulliset pusakat ( legginsejä ja paitaa en löytänyt nettikaupasta). Ihaninta tyttöjen mielestä oli tietenkin vesivärein maalatun näköinen kuosi ja paidassa oleva glitter lanka. Tässä asussa Hattara lähti reippaana tyttönä voimisteluleirillekin toissa viikonlopuksi. Toki minäkin pääsin mukaan leirille yöpymään ( meillä ollaan vielä vähän arkoja, mutta onneksi Kisakalliossa oli äidille ihanat lenkkimaastot ja kuntosali joten sporttiviikoloppu oli molemmille kiva kokemus).

From the library of…
by Sofia - in Good things for kids
I found these cute bookplates from Papershop and they were just perfect for this little project I had in mind. As stated before we have quite a few books and I thought that in between the time Cotton Candy reads them and Bubble Gum is ready for them ( like the Harry Potters… I have read them out loud to Cotton Candy but she will probably get to read them on her own a little later) or when my possible grandchildren want to read them one day, someone else might get some use out of them. I personally think chapter books are meant to be read not kept in the bookshelf.
So I added the labels on the front leaf of some of our books, wrote my girls names on them and sent a message to Cotton Candy´s teacher. She is wonderful and takes the kids to the library ever so often and they read books at school and at home. But every now and then she reminds in Wilma ( a school messaging system between parents and teachers about anything school related) that some of the kids don´t have library cards yet or had forgotten them so she lent them books with her own card.

How to make a bandana bun
by Sofia - in Good things for kids
In the mornings we would like to make fun hairstyles and braids with the girls but sometimes there is just not enough time. So we tried something a bit faster but not the everyday ponytail. As bandanas are so in ( still with the second graders) we tried this bandana bun we found on Pinterest. Here are the easy to follow instructions, and do excuse the plethora of pictures but in this case it´s easier for me to show detailed instruction rather than explain how to do it.
Make a high ponytail…
