Windermere Preparatory School Fall Festival

We had a blast at our first Fall Festival at Maddy's new school! Me and Mike that is. Maddy was totally mortified that we made her go but Mike could barely contain his excitement all week. He loves carnival food. Maddy wasn't impressed...

The school went all out and had carnival attractions galore...

 

And it was packed!

 

Maddy took off the second she saw someone she barely knew so we messed around in the photo booth...

 

 

 

Several of the students performed on stage. Check out the lady buying a lighter app on her phone for her grandson's show. And he brought special effects. Aaah the love of a grandma...

 

 Some of the students were super talented - these ones performed on 'silks'...

 

And they had hired Cher, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga lookalikes who were really good!!

 

But our favorite part of the night was watching "Katy Perry." When she invited these little girls on stage they lost their minds. One of them said "I'm your biggest fan!" It was so sweet :) 

 

 

A really fun night...for us anyway:)

 

Bend it like Beckham!!

Maddy is working really hard on her soccer - here are pictures from her first two games. She loves it and it doing really well!!

 

Great job Maddy!!

Columbus Day weekend!

We finally got some patio furniture for out back and the temperatures are a lot more reasonable lately, so my Columbus Day weekend started perfectly with a lovely coffee outback watching the birds...

 

 We met up with the family over at Nanas. Cormac and Milo are getting so big...:)

 

And I managed to feed Cormac and put him to sleep!!

 

 

Declan had a great time!

 

My American family!

On our day off from work we went shopping.... the fountains are pink for Breast Cancer awareness month...:)

 

 

And Lake Apopka is as beautiful as ever...

 

Happy Columbus Day!!

It's in the blood...

Maddy has started playing soccer! Although she has done a number of activities - this is actually her first team sport experience. We are so proud of her for giving it a shot!

 

Halloween Horror Nights!

Maddy loves Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios! She must get it from her Dad...:)

 

Love her little video - this could be a commercial!!
