School Days

 Kate started Pre-K this year in a new school.  She was really excited to share her day with you. 
She woke up early, got dressed in her pretty skirt and shirt, ate a healthy breakfast, then went outside to catch the bus.  At school, she met her classmates (some are friends already), met her teacher and learned about the school.  Then she took the bus home again to see Mommy and Daddy waiting for her.
Kate really loves going to school everyday.

Otto had already had a week of school when Kate started, but he wanted to share that he is in 2nd grade now and has many friends in his class from last year.  He likes his teacher and the wonderful things he's learning.
Ivan wanted to share the way he walks with the kids to school.  He gets a wonderful wagon ride every morning while he walks brother to school and sister to the bus stop.  Some mornings it's cold, some times it's warm.  We have fun walking with mommy!
Happy Fall!

Grandma's poetry

Here is a little ditty I wrote in my poetry class years ago.  It was written for your mothers, but it can still apply today.

                           Practice, Practice, Practice

Every day it’s A, G, D,

One and two and Do, Re, Mi.

All Good Boys, FACE.

Practice, practice, practice.

Sharps and flats and chords to play,

Major C and Minor A,

Quarter notes and al Fine.

Practice, practice, practice.

Programs, concerts, dress rehearsal.

Up the scale and then reversal.

Thirty minutes, no commercial.

Practice, practice, practice.

Quintin!

A small Easter bunny! how fun! how sweet.A gray bunny is just the thing to make long days fun!

this is our new bunny Quintin, A sweet male lop ear bunny. Such a cute face!  

 Here is a picture of him exploring the couch,

 he's tired now that's for sure.

My what big feet. When we walked in the pet store to see what rabbits they had I saw a cute gray lop ear rabbit sleeping in one corner of the rabbit cage, I had already decided what rabbit I wanted when mom asked me. The man at the pet store said you pick your rabbit up by the scruff of it's neck but when  he picked it up it kicked and kicked it did not like it at all it scared me but when mom picked it up around his front and under his legs he did not kick as much Quintin is very nice and cute and fun.

I looked out the window and what did I see?
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!

A cold dreary April Day

Can spring be on the way?

And the Sweet Violets

And the Star Magnolia

And the Wood Hyacinths

And the Daffodils

How Beautiful!
