Madison Starts 2nd Grade

 Aug 2011 003  Aug 2011 004Aug 2011 006 Aug 2011 007

Ohhh Maddy-cakes!!  How did you grow up so fast? 

She was soooo EXCITED to start 2nd grade!  It was up in the air all summer long which school she was going to attend.  We had moved to another school district during the year but really wanted to keep her in the same school.  Long story short, a week before school started, we got it approved for her to stay at the same school.  Maddy was so HAPPY!!  So she is back at Collegeville for the second year.  We went to open house and everyone was so happy to see that Maddy got to come back.  Mrs. Stroud is her teacher and after meeting Maddy she said to me, “She seems like the type of student I could leave in charge.” That’s my Maddy!!   Maddy was thrilled to see she had several friends in her class.  She woke up this morning and got ready before I ever woke up.  When I picked her up and asked her how the first day was, she responded,”Second Grade is So AWESOME!  I didn’t get any tickets pulled and I got 2 sand dollars for being good.”  Sounds like a successful day to me!

Livy Loves Laundry

July 2011 095 Livy loves to “play” laundry.  This is how she does it.  She folds everything and makes individual piles. She also gets all dish towels out of the kitchen drawer and folds them all over the house.  She is getting pretty good at folding the towels, it’ll be no time before her and Maddy can take over the laundry for me:)

Maddy was staying over at a friends, so I thought it was a perfect time for Livy to have her own sleepover.  We picked up Kaylee and they played so well together all night!  It was great to have Olivia entertained, she gets very bored when Maddy isn’t home.  I would say it was a successful sleepover!
