Middle Sister Writes About Her Summer Plans

This is summer 2011 and we are going to Colorado. We are going to the Rocky Mountains too. We are going in two weeks. I am excited that we're going to Col0rado.

Little Sister and Sammy

Little Sister is in love with our new dog, Sammy. Every day she wants him to wake her up. She kisses and hugs him before she goes to bed or leaves for school or daycare. She is even patient with Sammy when he has accidents in her room.

An Interview with Little Sister about Sammy

Mom: What thing do you like the best about Sammy?

Little Sister: Playing with him.

Mom: Is Sammy ever naughty?

LS: Yes, when he pees and poops on the carpet.

Mom: Do you think we take Sammy back?

LS: No.

Mom: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about Sammy?

LS: I like Sammy. Leah and Chloe wanted a dog, but they don't take care of Sammy. I'm the only one who takes care of Sammy. They just play their DSi. No petting. No kissing. I'm the one who likes him.

Mom's Spring Break, Day 1

What do Mom and Little Sister do when Big and Middle Sister are at school? Go and get henna tattoos. Mom is pretty sure we will have to make another trip to Waterloo in the next few days so the other two girls can match. Isn't Little Sister's beautiful?

Snow Day by Midlde Sister

We have no school today because there is too much snow and it is very cold. I played outside today. It is cold.

Big Sister at the Bridal Show

Today was the bridal show in Waterloo. Make A Wish had children whose wishes were granted be models for the different bridal shops. In addition the girls were able to get their hair done by a local stylist. Here's big sister all dolled up. The lady she is posing with was her bridal/bridesmaid escort. While talking to her we found out that on Monday she will be leaving to begin teaching in South Korea at a private school. Very interesting.

Middle Sister's Thoughts on First Grade

My teacher's name is Miss Enslin. I like first grade. I like to do math. First grade is fun. I like to draw on my dry erase board with Norah, Grace and Kaylee. At center time I like to get out my reading tub and get out an animal and find a spot to read.
