Homework

Savvy spent hours working very hard on her show and tell project that is due Friday. This is very serious you know... it was her first official homework. She was given a plain white piece of card stock with the outline of a gingerbread person. I say person, because she insists that hers is a girl. The instructions just said to have the child cut it out and decorate it with their own "creative style." She took this assignment very seriously... spending almost an hour rummaging for supplies in the craft room. After literally three nights of cutting, gluing, drying, painting, sticking, and re-gluing she finally finished. Meet Savvy's VERY creative, VERY stylish gingerbread woman.


I can't decide what my favorite part is - the blue sequin leggings under the metallic skirt, the red sequin scarf, the pink checkered mittens?
It's all "fab-u-lous!" according to her.

Savvy's First Day of Kindergarten!

Think she was just a tiny bit excited? She has been looking forward to this day for weeks!






When I went to pick her up, I found out that she'd given herself a haircut. Luckily, it was only one curl. Then she said loudly in front of her teachers "They taught me NUFFIN' today!" Oy! At least they won't forget her.

If you missed Ky's first day of 1st grade, just go to our other blog "our little corner of the world." There is a link on the right side of this blog.

It's done!

We love our new roof!

The Roof


We woke up to the sounds of our roof being torn off this morning. Literally.
The roof was in rough shape, and our homeowners insurance told us that we pretty much had to fix it. So we are.
The girls are super excited, since they helped choose the new color of shingles. I'm excited because our house is going to look so much nicer. Ty's not excited since he got the bill.
