1st Day of School - Part 2

Well, today it is official. Our little 1st grader is moving onto 2nd grade after only 2 weeks of school. We took a new first day of school photo and headed back to tackle this new year. So a new classroom, more new friends, and another great teacher, Mrs. Vickers. Holyn is excited to be growing up really fast this week. We are over the moon thrilled for you Holyn, keep up the great work!

That's Not My Name

Holyn started school this morning. I got up and washed and styled her hair. She looked so grown up. She proudly posed for pictures and we got to meet her teacher. We dropped her off in the gym for the daily meeting and blew her kisses. I can't wait to hear the stories after school. Holyn loves this song, and hopefully they get her name right (or she will correct them by spelling it and saying it really slow and sarcastically. Yup, she's my girl).

Wild for Watermelon

On August 1st, we discovered the local celebration of Watermelon Fest. We had no idea how much Max loved watermelon, until there were free samples everywhere you turn. Holyn sampled the yellow, orange and red watermelons, but Max was still partial to the red. (I personally couldn't taste the difference in the colors, but was nonetheless impressed.) Holyn decided to have her face painted after lunch and Max participated in the seed spitting contest. Yes a contest for Max to spit (how perfectly that fits him). Check out his attempts.
