my future Olympians


These little ladies are athletes in the making! They have been so inspired by the winter Olympic games, they have been hard at work training!

Our kitchen has been transformed into an ice rink (works best with sock feet) where they practice their "finger skating." It's most entertaining when they work on their couple skating, attempting big lifts and tossing each other into the air. They even wear skirted leotards to bed, on top of their pajamas, so that they might be inspired during the night.

The stairs have become a bobsled/luge track and any available bench or piece of furniture turns into a ski jump.

Luckily, practicing for the hockey team (and beating each other with sticks) hasn't quite occurred to them yet, but I'm sure it won't be long!

They are just adorable! I overheard my oldest wishing to see someone fall during figure skating!

Uh, hello... skirted leotards over pajamas... how else do you wear them?! LOL

Your pictures are awesome! What camera do you use? I'm thinking of getting a Canon...

What's wrong with the summer Olympics? They could train in Texas!!

I'm sure they will be training for summer sports soon!

Venus, I have a Nikon D80 and use a 50mm 1.8 lens most of the time. You should definitely treat yourself to a great camera!
