The Girl's 1st Day of School

The girl's first day of school was Jan. 10th and they were so excited! They did so good putting their coats and backpacks away and getting started. They didn't even look back. It helps that they not only had eachother but they had their 3 cousins with them in the same class.

I was quite surprised at how well I did by not crying! I did get a little choked up the rest of the week when we would pick them up. Watching them walk down the ramp anxious to show us what they made in class just made me so proud of what good, smart girls we have.

I hope they continue to be this excited for school and it is my personal goal to make sure it stays that way.

Halloween 2010

Grace as "Scary Ghost" & Sadie as "She-Ra riding Swiftwind"

It was a nice, quiet Halloween and the girls had fun. It was interesting to hear the comments about Sadie's costume. Some just said, "Look at the pony!" Someone even said, "Look at the pig!" (Not sure how they came up with that one?) Someone did give her 2 pieces of candy for having "The best costume of the night!" The top of her costume (aside from the wig) was all hand made thanks to the help of my mom and Dave. The sword we bought off Ebay but it came in yellow. So I spray painted it silver and added the jewels.

Grace's costume was bought at Walmart. She saw it and fell in love and would not let me try and talk her into anything else.
