1. Pom ended and with it so came a lovely performance by both girls. They did a nice job. Lilly was especially good at kicking her legs up high and Katherine also really had a good one too - even got it on film.
2. We went camping and had a great time and the girls made a lot of friends while we were there. Lilly hung out with some kids and caught bunches of frogs and one little girl she was with even got two snapping turtles. Katherine also had a "date" while we were there. She befriended the young man in the camp across from us that was 9 and they hung out together all weekend and he invited her to play video games with him one evening and he even offered to pay...
3. Fair food, fair fun. We went to the fair with my girlfriend "Aunt Anne" last Friday from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. Really! We didn't get home until midnight! Aunt Anne had a great time spoiling the girls paying for treats and the bungy jump and other fun stuff.
4. While at the fair we were able to see a piglet being born, and we learned all about how yarn is spun from sheeps wool - ask Katherine she could tell you.
5. The girls have both gone curly! Lilly had a perm last school year and this year Kate decided to join her so both girls got one - my what a difference two curly haired girls...
6. We enjoyed our long weekend - went and saw Fly me to the moon - what a silly movie, did some bowling, haven't done that in forever and just hung out.
7. Mark and I got to take the girls in to their first day of school. They were both pretty excited about that - too bad we were a little late and couldn't visit with their friends but oh well.
8. The first day of school was pretty exciting for both girls in particular Katherine. She came home and was overly anxious to tell us all about what she learned and she learned the names of all the continents on her first day! What a feat. Let's see how long she keeps that up.
9. Lilly of course was happy to see all her friends and is in the same class again this year as they do looping so she told us all about the class pet (Teegen - the school dog who belongs to the teacher of her class) and her new collar.
10. I also started back to school all around. Work school and school school. Classes started just tonight for me and I am looking forward to another busy semester albeit fun.
