Soda Fountain Fun!

We visited the local soda fountain on Monday after school.   The atmosphere is so relaxing.  Maggie got a frostie, and Sadie got a root-beer float.

A Thanksgiving Celebration in Third Grade

Maggie's class had a great Thanksgiving celebration today; the students were able to choose to come to school dressed as either an Indian or a Pilgrim.   Maggie chose to be an Indian girl, so I made her dress from her dad's old shirts.   It was a very special, magical day. 

Cotillion Night for Sadie

My darling Sadie Kate is off to cotillion tonight. 

Princess for a Day

Maggie was Princess Diana for the day at school.   The students selected a person from history on which to write a biographical report.   Part of the assignment included dressing up as the person selected.    Maggie selected Princess Diana, and we had fun getting her outfit together.  She did a great job on her presentation.  Good job, Maggie!

A New Pair of Shoes...

Sadie's Incredible Volleyball Photo!

As middle front hitter, Sadie kills the ball.  She's great at blocking, too.

Bee Sting....Ouch!

Maggie was stung by a bee on the playground yesterday (again).   We have decided she must be allergic to bee stings, because they always swell.  This time, it flew up and stung her on the forehead.
Ouch.
