Wow, can you say "cold front?" Isn't it amazing how it can be 90 one day and 70 the next? It's nice to be able to step outside and not be instantly drenched in sweat! :D I guess there are some things that come with the cooler weather. Like co-op and band and FINE LINEN DRAMA! Well, the practices and performances , not the auditions... :P Well, I guess I need to get back to doing nothing... :D

School and other happenings

We started school today! We haven't started full-swing yet, but we have started most subjects. Also, Elizabeth started kindergarten (the best 3 years of her life)! Dad is teaching her for about an hour a day, and today they started on the letter S and learned the MFW alphabet song! She is making good progress in her speech, as well as her writing. This year I am doing Algebra 2 (Saxon), World History (Peter Notgrass), Biology (Apologia), English (ACE), and Spanish (possibly Rosetta Stone). I (and maybe Isaac) will be doing First Lego League again this year. We'll be in GRACE co-op again this year, and I can't wait for the next Fine Linen season! Oh, and I'll also be playing Basketball this year with RHAA, so I'll hopefully I'll post a schedule. Abby is playing volleyball this fall, so I'll probably (have/get to) go to some of her games. :D Well, I guess I should go do something else now. :D

Reminisces From K - 2nd

Yup, that's me.

I was remembering some things that happened when I was in kindergarten. Oh, like the time I punched a kid in the nose. I did it because the teacher said that the younger kids needed to be in the front of the line so we didn't get separated form the group. Well, there were kids that were in kindergarten through second grade in that group. And the kid I punched was in the front of the line. AND, he was in SECOND grade. But I was supposed to be in the front, not him. I think I told him to let me get in front of him. But he didn't like that! So, I punched him in the nose (he was born premature, I think, so I was as big as him)!

Then there was "Future Friday" that year. That's the day that everyone dresses up as what they want to be in the future (we also had Twin Tuesday, Freaky Friday, etc.). Anyway, I wanted to be the President! So, I went to school in my suit! My friends "drove" me around in my "limo" at recess.

I also remember that in the second grade I was so proud of my automatic pencil (I think I was the only one in my class that had one). I also remember that when I finished my goals ahead of time, my teacher let me help some of the younger kids with their Social Studies (history) reading (I was a pretty good reader at that time).

At school, we got "Green Dot awards." You could use them to get all sorts of things. My friend and I often used ours to get an extra 15 min. after lunch to play pattern blocks!

Well, that's enough reminiscing for now. Here's a couple more pictures I scanned from year books (there's a lot of them! I think all the older girls on the yearbook committee thought I was cute of something!) ;)
