Waiting...

Bethany and Julianna wanted SO BADLY to stay awake until Curt got home. They didn't make it.

Neither did Bucky.

We had such a busy day: Little Gym this morning, lunch and playdate with Emma, hockey camp, and 3 on 3. Whew! and Phew! They're going to need two sets of equipment pretty soon; their stuff is starting to make my eyes water. Anyway...we made it home, had a quick shower and a bite of ice cream, brushed teeth, turned on an old Penguins game, and they were out. They wanted me to leave them out here until Curt got home so he could wake them up and say goodnight. I doubt that they'll remember one way or the other.

In other news, Bethany has said goodbye to Purple Baby and stopped sucking her fingers. YIPPEE! I am so proud of her. She's such a sweetheart. Julianna's still working on it. Hopefully soon!

Just a few more days

There are 3 1/2 days left of school, counting today. The girls are super-excited for vacation, but at the same time super-sad to be leaving Kindergarten and Mrs. Inghram. They have learned so much! They are counting money, telling time, reading words with blends at the beginning and end, doing double-digit addition, simple subtraction, and a bit of multiplication (thanks to Tessa). I remember when I was in Kindergarten it was a big deal to write all the numbers to 100 and spell your name correctly. No more. They'll be ready for advanced calculus by the time they're freshmen.

Bethany announced yesterday, "I know what we can do this summer! We can go to Miss Lisa's house about 12 or 1 o'clock and play for a few hours...or maybe more...we could stay for supper or something." I asked how often she was planning on doing this and she emphatically informed me that it would be EVERY DAY and that we would not be hosting the Ellis kids over here at all. WRONG-O! They are, however, planning several sleepovers...Dorothy and Spencer, Emma, and the Ellis kids. Oooh boy!

The most anticipated event planned thus far is our trip to WI. (YEAH!) The girls can't wait to see Grandma and Grandpa. As a matter of fact, neither can I.
