Mini-get-away

Over the long Labor Day weekend - on a whim - we decided to do a mini-get-away to Clarksville only 30 minutes away.

You guys packed your own bags :)

Highlights included -
Swimming in the indoor pool with a hot tub!
Dinner at Noodles 'n Company
Frozen Yogurt at Berry Bear for dessert
Movie in bed - where you then put everyone to bed because you were tired and can only fall asleep in the dark with the noise machine on. Oh and you also brought your sleeping bag - in case you were annoyed with Carter in the bed- which worked out great - because you opted to sleep on the floor. More room for me!
Sleeping in
McDonald's pancake breakfast in the room
Playtime at a cool playground near the Cumberland River

Pretty fun to me..hope we can do it again soon!

1st Grade Reading Level

Someone's reading at a 3rd grade level. :) We're super proud of you! You came home stating - "only 10 more till I get to Z!"

I heard that a parent has led a book club for above grade level readers - so I'm hoping you'll be able to join soon!

Keep up the great work, smarty pants!

Kindergarten Memory Book

Maevy-

Ms. Boles finally gave you your Kindergarten Memory Book with pictures and notes from the school year. Enjoy!

Kindergarten vs 1st Comparison

Oh goodness...so the side by side is a little scary. It's pretty obvious - you've probably grown 5-6 inches!

Obligatory pics -

1st Day of 1st Grade
Teacher: Ms. Young
Friends in your class: Lois, Tate, Harper, Ainsley, and Aurelia

I guess this is your new 1st grade smile. Carter insisted on wearing a navy blue bow, to be like his sister.

We wish you all the best for a great year in school!

Carter with a bow, like you!

 

Another one bites the dust...

2 weeks later...you'll pulled out another tooth, this time during breakfast. Again - it was no big thing. You just said - "I pulled it out!"

Maevy's Loose Tooth

Maevy-girl-

You lost your 1st tooth today - at Camp Widji! We knew on Sunday it was pretty loose...and according to you, you just pulled it out yourself at camp the next day. Your counselor wrapped it up in a surgical glove and you brought home. No big thing...

Tooth-fairy arrive later in the night with $1 and a sweet note. :)

Here's your new smile, with 1 less tooth.

Also some other cute pics from your first day at camp - looks like fun!
