The After School Project: Day 5

Let's call this one "Mama's Finger."

Or maybe "Dancing in the Seat."



No, it's definitely called Mama's finger.

Sorry!

The After School Project: Day 4

In today's installment, I'd like to point out how Ella is singing and Marina is being quiet until they realize the camera is on.
Then?
PERSONALITY SWITCH!!

The After School Project: Day 3

It's back!
Here's your special twins edition:



I thought about translating again, but even I can't decipher it all.

Portraits

I was on the computer, probably messing around on Facebook longer than I should have, and when I looked over to see what Marina was doing I saw this:



Her very first happy faces!

Just in time for Hanukkah, too. Guess what you're getting, family?

Sudsy McGee

Every month or so, I get a photo essay from Ella's class showcasing all the stuff they've been up to, like trips to the pumpkin patch and playing dress up.

These are the only two shots that surfaced of my kid:

H1N1 Halls

So I started the after school project and then the girls go and get super super sick and stop going to school.

Today Marina was diagnosed with Influenza A. Go ahead and read about it. So is that H1N1? They didn't say that at the doctors office, but?

If that's not freaky enough, on the way to the doctor, Marina sneezed and, I kid you not, bright, red blood came gushing out of her nose. Like a full on horror film, only with preschoolers. But apparently it's normal for someone who has been as congested as she has.

So they gave Marina the pink, bubble gum antibiotic and Ella got some Tamiflu because she's asthmatic and probably has the virus, too.

Anyway, that is why there have been no more after school projects.
Though I bet that if I'd recorded the bloody sneeze it would have made me a bigger Youtube sensation than these kids.

One minute in the car, animal edition. Can you name them all?



Hard to believe she got a 102.9 degree fever a few hours later.
