Mail, acorns, mummies, concerts, and gymnastics

I am sticking to my resolution to keep in touch with friends and family through mail.

Acorns! One of nature's greatest toys.

Acorn math.

When the kids are testing my patience we play "mummies." It gives me a break for a bit.

My own personal concert.

Excuse Mirek's crying. He wanted his light saber back.

Eaden made some necklaces for her cousins.

And then wanted to make some for her gymnastics teammates. One necklace led to many bracelets and other hand made gifts for the coach and team.

Eaden's first meet was on Saturday. She did really well and will be competing placement in the next meet. Unfortunately, she is the only one on her team that will be competing placement. That means it is just her and the coach during her session. She does not want to do this. She does not want to do private lessons either because she only wants to do gymnastics as a team. I think this is a good thing.

 However, she will need to get used to not always competing with her team. Once a gymnast does placement they are divided by age and everyone does not always compete at the same time.

Here is her floor routine from Saturday.
