A Monster High Birthday

Olivia went to her first classmate birthday party since she has been in Kindergarten. She was invited to a swiming party with all of the other classmates in her class as well. Olivia had so much fun with her class and she even saw an old classmate from preschool. She almost wasn't allowed to go to the party because of her behavior at home. She has been very mouthy and she hasn't been listening very well. But her father and I talked about her missing experiences and making long lasting friendships out of the classroom. I talked to the birthday girls father and he encouraged me to let her go also because the majority of her class was going. She got a new bathing suit because her old one didn't fit. She told me that she was veey happy with it even thought it wasn't a bikini. Here are a few pictures of the fun filled day at a local indoor water park.

A Quiet Moment Between Sisters

Yesterday it started raining and storming really bad. The girls and I just sat on the couch and watched the rain run down the windows. It was nice to see them take the storm all in like that. They noticed the thunder but didn't jump when it made a very loud crash. And they watched the lightening in amazement. When I was a little girl I was terrified of storms, this storm wasn't as loud as I remembered when I was that terrified little girl.

First Library Card

Today Olivia and I went to the library to get her first library card. She was so thrilled and excited all day. It was a mommy and Olivia event which made her even more excited. I filled out the paperwork and let her sign it and her library card. She checked out two DVD's and three books. She received a free magazine and vhs movie because they were getting rid of all their old movies. The free movie that she picked out was Pinocchio. She received a progress report from school and she is doing great in school. So to reward her and promote a positive learning experience I suggested that she got her own library card. Her teacher included a first grade sight word sheet because she can read all her words for kindergarten. I told her that I will give her a quarter for every word that she can spell and she is up for the challenge. I am so proud of you Olivia and I enjoy watching you grow and I am amazed everyday how smart you are.
