artsy

 M's been doing some fun creative work this summer.  She's also doing some piano, ASL and driver's Ed.

Girls camp and surf camp

M got to go rock climbing and have a lot of fun at girls camp.  She was a jock in the 4th year skit.

For her birthday she made her own sheet cake with whip cream decorations and strawberries.  She requested hamburgers for her birthday dinner.  Her big gift was a week of surf camp! 

May moments

Epic cake to honor M for becoming section leader.

mini bag of babies

 I got M a mini IKEA bag last week.  She liked it and has filled it with mini plastic babies and sea creatures.  Everything is less than 1 inch.  So cute!

M teacher's favorite

 M has a class she is the class president of because she was the only one that asked the teacher how to become class president.  The teacher had after school classes and club meetings.  M enjoyed participating.  The teacher had cancer and was finishing chemo.  M prepared refreshments and decorations for a celebration.  She also made a video with clips of all the students giving good wishes.  She's such a leader.

duets

 M had a recital recently and played 3 duets.  The theme was duets.  She played a duet with her teacher of a Bach Minuette.  She played a duet with B called Luminosity.  She also played a silly duet with another student that reminds me of Bugs Bunny playing the piano.

She's navigating high school everything.

Hubert

 

lP and I were at Walmart and found a big of gigantic stuffed animals.  We agreed that M needed the giant octopus.  lP enjoyed looking the complete spoiled child as she held the stuffed octopus during the shopping trip.  She decided we should put it on M's bed and wait for her to notice it.  It was hours after she came home before M ever noticed!

M enjoys taking Hubert out for photo shoots, camping, and frolics in the front yard.
