Most kids, when they are nervous or scared in a movie, cover their eyes. Not Monti. For her, the biggest way to dampen the fear is to cover the ears. Here she was watching a movie with her friend Milena.

Also we got the girls some indoor swings for the garage. Pix to follow. They love it. It really makes it worth the effort when the payoff is big.

Monti @ Hip hop dance class
This really needs some video I think to do it justice.

By blogging about this it appears I put this on par with landing someone on the moon. And yet I’m sure I forgot something….

We used a pic similar to this for Monti’s headshot for her auditions this weekend. The other one was better.

Monti’s Cruise Ship
Monti was collecting wood in the woods tonight on a hike. She is building a cruise ship. Not to be confused with an Ark, she says I’m the captain, she’s the cruise director, etc. Everyone has a job, including all her friends. I asked what the name of the ship is and she says it’s the NarniaSpiderWickChroniclesIndianaJones. I suppose you should thrown an SS in front of that or maybe an HMS.
She says she needs a lot of steel as well.
Monti:”Dad can you do that thing you do and do it in Talus”
me:”?????”
M:” You know, selling and stuff”
me:”????”
M:” You know – go see customers ”
She wanted me to go through Talus and sell tickets to people for the cruise… like I do with my Apple customers.

Out with KC/LPK
Had a good day again yesterday. Out with LPK/KC. Went to (what we thought) was a rock climbing area, it turned out to be a water rock slide thing. Freezing water but very refreshing. The hike to it was 1 mile, mostly uphill. Monti made it the whole way, D made it about 3/4 way walking. The water was a big reward for that hike. We all got wet. The walk back was much quicker and cooler, but both girls got carried for that. Dahlia fell asleep riding on our shoulders back. Pix to follow.
Healthwise, I’m feeling much less amped, and unfortunately slightly less ‘happy’ than before. I am sleeping better. Went to bed about 9 last night got up at 4 (now). KC/LPK leave for airport this am. 5:30 wake up call for them. Strange to be up so early before everyone still.
Bought the new couch. I think it is great. Did a lot of furniture shopping on Sat to try to find things for this house and the new one. Then we saw Xmen 3. I liked it – needed some brainless action like that, though some kids kept kicking my seat behind me. I think I will use the new home theatre in the new house a lot more than I’d originally thought after that experience Saturday. We ate out 3 times, bought a set of Nike shoes that take that Apple iPod thing. But we are giving the thing to LuLu for her birthday. I will buy another one. Everyone sells them now.
I’m still eating like a horse, but not eating so healthily now so I’m packing on the pounds where they don’t go again. I am now going ‘back on my healthy’ diet. Not so much more cheese this or bread that.
Well that’s enough.
