i have finn's piano recital that was over a month ago
to post on, as well as my sister's wedding days after christmas)
i can't find the video clip from the recital,
and i haven't even looked at the wedding photos i took,
so be patient peeps.
i plan on spending a few hours this weekend to get to edit them.
i'm hoping even a handful of them turned out nice but am worried.
i shot in a completely different setting than i normally shoot in,
so we'll see.
the one thing i can post about that was a milestone event
{at least for scoutabout} was his first time rollerskating!
he was invited to celebrate his classmates 6th birthday at skate world.
i was thrilled when he said he wanted to go.
finn and auntie joined us too.
we all had So. Much. Fun!
scoutie was an animal.
unlike his big brother who was
cautious skating for his first time,
he was the opposite.
he had one speed - FAST.
since he didn't know how to skate,
'fast' doesn't really work, so he was on the wood floor constantly.
this made auntie jen and me a little nervous,
because we didn't want to end up in the ER and ruin such a good time.
being short and close to the ground really benefited him.
though most 5 and 6 year olds were using the 'skate mate'
to keep them upright {see picture below},
scoutie refused for the first 3 hours.
finally, during the last hour of the day, he agreed.
we guessed it was because his tush was pretty sore by then.
here are some photos of our day:

i have a cute video of scout in action i need to pull off my phone.
i'll insert here when i get some time. {check back for a good laugh}
~ scoutie enjoyed it so much he said he might have a skate birthday
party when he turns 6. i smiled and remembered celebrating a 30-something
birthday here a few years back. i'm thinkin' it's time to do it again in april!
