Where did we leave off???

It has been a LONG time since I have had a chance to update this blog, but the school year is just days away from starting and I wanted to start everything on the right foot. So here we are, School starts on Monday August 11! Lilly is off to Kindergarten with some of her book club friends and the others that will be in different schools will hopefully join us at book club.

Lilly will be one of the oldest kids in her class since she is a month away from turning 6 and she can't wait to celebrate it!

This year in book club I am hoping to have the girls READING very first reader books. They are very simple books but I think they can do it. We will also be planting fall vegetables and harvesting them in November. We will be hosting the Christmas Cooking Baking Party this year and that should again be tons of fun!

I am hoping that I will be able to update this blog after each book club because the girls will have camera days. They will have their own day to take pictures of our book club. I hope this goes smoothly and if it does then around christmas we will use those pictures to create scrapbooks that the girls can take home as holidays gifts.

So here's to the 08-09 school year!

It's Lilly time!!

She might have been sick but we managed to open a few presents.



Here are some great pictures of Lilly's class Christmas party.





They had a "hot potato" book exchange and she got a wonderful book that we read all the time!










the girls and I are starting to work on our letter recognition and very soon we'll be doing some extra work on writing. They love listening to the books with their snack at club time, but they are growing to that in between stage where a year from now we can start reading on our own with lots of help. But for now we are trying to concentrate on writing correctly. All the girls are so cute and very smart. I think Kindergarten will be a great time for all of them.
