School Days . . .

Presenting June's first school picture! I'm no expert, but I think it was a success. When it comes to school pictures, you primp and curl and color-code, send your child off to school and cross your fingers that they don't have boogers smeared across their faces or smashed hair-do's when the camera flashes. A smile is almost too much to wish for, and a toothy grin is rare. So nice work June!

We are already over two months into kindergarten, and June is rocking it! I met with Mrs. McDonald for parent-teacher conference last weekend and got the best report ever. She's well-behaved, reading like a pro and was chosen as the class's "good citizen" for the term. I'm one proud mama!

Soccer came to an end last weekend, and I think we went out on a high note. Here is June with her good buddy, Kiki. These two started out as timid as a mouse on the field, and now they are right in the heat of the battle! June can't wait to play in the spring!

Jen had a special pizza night for the team and handed out medals. She told June that she was the most improved player, and June was beaming! She's been sleeping with her medal under her pillow and wearing it every day.

After an entire season of cheering, Winn is done being an athletic supporter! She wants to play so badly like big sister, and so she will be on her first soccer team in March with cousin Amos. I can't wait. The other day I took her to the park, and she spent the better part of an hour running laps around the playground! She calls it her "workin' out."

Winn has also snuck her way into June's kindergarten class with Mom when I help out on Wednesdays. The kids adore her and she thinks it's heaven on earth. Especially singing time - She turns the ABC carpet into her own private dance floor when Mrs. McDonald blasts the tunes. She does a mean version of the Destiny's Child "no-no" dance!

This face keeps me smiling all day. I sure do love these girls!

I know what Ya Ya means. I feel the same way. The girls are growing up way too fast though, do you think we could slow that down a little bit. I love the school pic, great job June! Love Nana and Papa.

Are your kids the cutest on the planet or what? Bardo likes workin' out too. One day I found him in the backyard his bike propped just ride so the rear wheel was off the ground peddling his heart out on his homemade stationary bike.

Junie's school pictures turned out GREAT! Arlee has crazy fuz hair in her picture and she's sporting this new strange grin - Arlee's school pictures look like the typical school picture.

Um, are you trying to make us look bad, or what? Here I post about all of Caulder's naughtiness, only to discover your post about June being citizen of the month and Winnie being the class favorite. And Junie's pictures are gorgeous, and Caulder has to be held by his preschool teacher in his pics. Wanna trade for a while? Please? PLEASE??!!!!!!
