1st Grade

Lils woke me at 4am this morning saying she couldn't sleep.  I knew she would be excited for her first day of school, but c'mon!  She declined my suggestion to try and go back to sleep so I told her to lay on her bed quietly for three more hours before bothering me again.

After breakfast, we all walked her out to the bus stop.  Hopefully the other two are this excited to go to school when the time comes!



 

Doggs and Maytos

We cooked hot dogs on the deck on Saturday.  Had a feeling Erin would be tired after the Tough Mudder.  The girls picked a couple ripe tomatoes and ate them like you would an apple.





Juego de los Piratas!

Had a great time at the Pirates game!  Walk off in the 9th.  Kids did pretty well overall.  It helped that they all got a baseball and Cotton Candy.

"Rocs Fr Sale"







My kids are little entrepreneurs.  Lily had the idea to sell painted rocks for money.  She wants to buy a Kindle or Ipod or something.  Lily made a sign that said "Rocs fr Sale"  "Dollars only."  She sounded it out herself...she spelled Dollars "Dolrs" but she wanted to correct it after she asked me so I helped her with that and "only".  She wanted to sell the big ones for $20 each, but I advised her to bring down the price to $5 for the large, $3 for the medium and $1 for the small.  She did it reluctantly.  As soon as Kena came home from preschool she immediately started going door-to-door trying to sell little candy bars.   She had no fear.  She was mad at me that I wouldn't let her go waaay down the street to sell.  They were also lugging around a cooler full of water bottles and apple juice to sell...as you can see from the pictures, it was very hard work.  Our neighbors were so sweet and kind and believe it or not my kids made $21.

Another funny thing...after Kena made her first sale of $1 door-to-door at our next door neighbor, she immediately came back to where Lily was set up on our driveway and used the money she had just made to buy an apple juice box for herself!  LOL. I love that kid.

Power Ranger!


I found this costume at Goodwill yesterday for Z and he didn't want to take it off.  I tried to put him to bed without his mask and he screamed until I gave it to him to take to bed.
