Changes

Here is Sam on her first day and last day of VPK.  She is standing in a slightly different spot, but I think she has had a growth spurt recently. The changes are dramatic to me.

Here is science Sunday elephant toothpaste.  I added just a tad bit too much water when I did the yeast.  And the girls got in on their clothes.

So we tried again without clothes and it was thicker.

Both girls dislike the vacuum, which is not too bad since I am not a frequent vacuumer.  Nick got Zoey to help and she seemed to like it better.

After antibiotics, Zoey went back to a bouncing fever.  But she finally seems better.  Her cough is lingering and she has some mucous, but I think she may be mending.  It will be wonderful to be able to leave the house on a regular basis.

The students in our classes are driving us crazy, even with our current low expectations.  But we only have a week and a half until we are finished!

Summer is here

It is so hard to believe Sam has finished PreK and will start Kindergarten in a few short months.  She learned so much this year.  Her teacher is an amazing woman, so patient and focused on peace.  She was a blessing and we are so thankful.

Some art from this year...

Her whole class on the world.

Ocean Animals.  Such detail!

Then the girls and I got sick.  Sam missed the Monday and Tuesday of school.  She recovered from swimmer's ear to get a cold. She had a bouncing fever and just made it back for the last day and ice cream party.  Zoey ended up on antibiotics for an ear infection.  I was hesitant, but with the bouncing fever, it was Friday, and she was complaining, the doctor suggested not gambling.  I had a cold and cough.  We are all better now, with just some lingering cough.

We have been busy recovering with some time for fun.  We have been doing more lately with friends for dinner and brunch.  Today we got in the pool and used my camera's underwater feature.

Zoey is more fearless, but sometimes cries afterwards.  But she is willing to go again, although asks for me to hold her.

Happy Summer!  We just have 2 weeks of summer classes and then our real break starts.  Although we have a lot on our to do list.
