When I Grow Up

The kids drew pictures at school this week of what they want to be when they grow up. This week's photos tie in perfectly with their answers!

Hayden: When I grow up I want to be a "Princess Ballerina."

Our sweet friend, Elle, turned 5 and had her very own Cinderella carriage pick up her guests in the neighborhood.

Hayden and Madison were shocked when they first spotted it through the windows and were thrilled to be escorted in a real Cinderella carriage! This is good training for our future princess!

Later that week the kids attended an art class with a few of their friends where they got to paint princess and knight castles.

Best buds Payson and Ryan.

Madison: When I grow up I want to be a "Zookeeper."

With the weather finally in the 80's, it was a great week to take the kids to the zoo. Here's Madison kissing a penguin through the glass.

It's hard to believe that Emperor Penguins are the same size as my kids!

Madison was delighted when Sue came up to talk to her about what it's like to be a Zookeeper and what kind of education you need (a Biology degree vs. Zoology, etc). Madison stood there frozen, listening to her for over five minutes - I've never seen her so attentive and still. She was really interested!

Payson: When I grow up I want to be a "Policeman." 

What, I don't look serious enough with my ice cream mustache to pull it off?
