Book Character Day

Today was Story Book Character Day for the final day of Read Across America Week.  Julia wanted to go as a horse, but decided on Nellie Sue from the Every Cowgirl book series. I think we did a pretty good job!

This afternoon all the pods did parades for the other pods. Julia had so much fun parading around EEEC. You can definitely tell the parade was int he afternoon though, Nellie Sue looked like she'd been at the barn all day by the parade time!

This was such a fun week for Julia and she made it all week without getting sick! Woo hoo!!

Wacky Wednesday

Today was Wacky Wednesday at EEEC. Julia wore her horse t-shirt backwards, a tutu, and Cindy Lou Who hair! Halfway through Read Across America Week and she's not sick. We might actually make it through the week without missing a fun day!

Oh The Places You Will Go!

Today was the first day of Read Across America week for Julia. Today's theme was "Oh the Places You Will Go" They were supposed to wear a shirt from somewhere they had visited. Julia chose her Rockette's shirt from New York City. 

When she was getting dressed this morning she told me she wanted to wear her hair down, no pony tail and no bow. My mama heart hurt, but I let her do it, she just wore a headband.

I could not stand how having her hair fixed like that made her look so much older. After school she let me put a bow in and take her picture again. She looks more like my baby with the bow!

 

Tonight was family reading night at EEEC. There were 4 stations - a reading station in the library, a craft station in the hall, a snack station in the lunchroom, and a storytelling station in the gym. We ended up in the same group with Cooper and Ellington so the girls were thrilled. 

After Reading Night we went to Santa Fe for dinner with the Robley's. A trip to Santa Fe isn't complete without a picture on the bull!

 

The kids had fun hanging out tonight, but it sure was a late night to start the week off! There are lots of Dr. Seuss activities this week for Julia! 

Teacher Talent Show!

Julia and I went to the Teacher Talent Show tonight. Ms. Parker was the star of the show!

Pancakes & Pajamas

Charlotte celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday at Small Steps today. They had their traditional PJ & Pancake Day. Charlotte chose her matching Grace PJ's and insisted on taking Grace with her. Mrs. Angela said she was sweet and shared with everyone. Of course no PJ outfit is complete without sparkly shoes and a "fancy" purple bow - even if it doesn't match!

Charlotte painted this cute Cat in the Hat hat at school. It even has her orange and blue hand prints on the front.

Today was a dance day. Charlotte has decided that she loves dance and has made lots of sweet, new friends this year!

Rainy Weather

We are supposed to be getting some bad weather tonight. Every body has been up in arms about it today. We decided to put the girls on the blow up mattress in our room in hope of getting some rest. With the thunderstorms expected I know it would be just a matter of time before they ended up in our bed. We have our closet ready with helmets, shoes, pillows and blankets just in case. I sure hope we don't need them though!

We've been getting lots of use out of our new rain boots this year!

Somebody's excited about sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's room!

Y'all Need Jesus
