Pony Town

Princess owns quite a few "My Little Pony" figures. She has collected them over the years, along with some accessories. The other day, she decided to make a pony town to incorporate in her play. She spent the entire day designing buildings and all the necessary elements for each one. The idea and creation (other than the apples and oranges) were entirely her own.

^ Notice the cash register! ^

^ And the sewing machine! ^

^ This is the computer . . .

. . . for the library. ^

Princess had so much fun creating this little town (that took up half the living room for days ;) and she also had fun playing with her ponies.

I am truly in awe of her creativity. She is one amazing kid!

Can You Hula Hoop?

I've seen these before, have you? At our homeschool park day, one family brought supplies and made hula hoops. All the kids were getting in on the hooping action. Of course, I didn't think to take photos. Silly me!

Princess gave it a go and was rocking her borrowed hoop. All she talked about, the entire ride home, was having her own hula hoop. I messaged the mom, from park day, for some instructions and Googled as well, finding this post. Home Depot had all the necessary supplies.  The Lizard King already had the cutter.

These are still a work in process, as we want to add more tape/color. Yes, that big one is for me! I used to know how to hula hoop and I was determined to remember. And I did!! Man oh man, what great exercise! And it's FUN!!!

Check out Princess rockin' her hoop!

I think I may have found a new core workout!
