If you look, you can see the grave stone of Malia's fish, Poseidon, up near the tree.
The new female mice (who promise to be less stinky than those sweet boys) are thriving in their place. Sasha named her new pets Laura & Mary Poppins.

Saying Goodbye
Had a nice burial for Goldie & Brownie the mice. Just me and Sasha and the old birch tree in the backyard. Got to have a wonderful conversation about life and death.

School Visit
The younger two girls got to visit their new school on Friday!
The principle went above and beyond in giving us a tour, even took the girls into classrooms to meet the teachers and peers as well. Sasha walked into each room like she owned the place, while Eliana was a bit more held-back. Meeting the sweet third grade teachers won her over though, and she seemed to feel really comfortable with them all.
Here are a few pictures of the very cute castle library. There are also gorgeous paintings all over the walls, but I didn't get a picture of everything. It's a basic school, but you can tell they have put a lot of work into decorating it to be a fun and inspiring place to learn.
The girls thought these little circle nooks were PERFECT for reading time <3
These girls are SO excited to start, and there mama is pretty thrilled for them too <3

Lego Quest
We do the challenges on the Lego Quest blog, but rarely go through the work of taking pictures and submitting them. Love the challenges though, and since it is the last challenge until September, we decided to submit pictures this month.

Sasha made an Ice Garden for an Ice Princess
Eliana made a Fire Garden with a mystic fire flower centerpiece (it was really hard to get one picture that showed everything!)
Malia made a community garden with different plots, and although she didn't go into great detail when I asked her the 2nd time- the first time I thought she had some pretty cool details that I wish I could remember more clearly. The ancient garden has a lot of sacred plants in it, and the super flower garden has a lot of extreme healing plants in it.

Owl Party
We attended this fun owl party in the middle of my semester. I've been so busy that I'm just now getting around to posting about it, but I thought it was too cute not to share. The kids had a BLAST and how creative is this idea?! The girls even made their own owl masks, with me helping on the hot glue.

Recent school day
Malia and her friend get together twice a week, on this particular week malia had picked out what to do while studying china. They decided to make homemade paper lanterns out of paper tissue and wiring, paint, and make tea eggs which came out so pretty!
