this and that

A few pictures of the latest goings-on at the Burbidge home:

Claire participated in her school lip-sync competition today and won 2nd place! This means that she and the 1st place winner will go on to the district competition in March. She performed to "Sweet Dreams" by Annie Lennox so she dressed like Annie in the 80s.

She came up with most of the choreography herself. She wanted to use the table like the table dance to the same song from So You Think You Can Dance a few years ago. She was very creative. Garrett filmed it, so if it came out half-way decent we'll post that later. She really put a lot of work into this--great job Claire!!


Ellie and Anson were lucky enough to stay with Grammy and Grandpa while I was in Puerto Rico. To top off those fun-filled 10 days, we rode the bus and the train home. It was a nice way to travel with kids--I highly recommend it!


I can't help but take these pictures every once in a while. Coleman and Anson like to sleep together, not just in the same bed (a twin by the way), but really together. Every night when I check on them they are connected in some way. I try to remember how cute they are sleeping when they are awake and fighting. They really do love each other.


And last but not least, our crazy broccoli-eating cat! Yes, that's a piece of chicken next to the broccoli. She did finally nibble on it, but not until she had downed a couple of big pieces of the green stuff! Is this strange? I find it a little odd. She has been known to lap up spilled green smoothie off the kitchen floor and totally ignore nicely diced pork roast. Go figure.
