Bedtime story

Tonight for Savannah's bedtime book, she wanted to read "Green Eggs and Ham" to us. She had read the first few pages to me once before, but got burnt out after that. Well, tonight she read the entire book, cover to cover! (I only helped her with 5 words through the entire book.) It took her about 20 minutes to read the whole thing, but she was SO proud when she finished that she had to call all the aunts and uncles to tell them what she had done. Way to go, Savannah!!!

Savannah's first day of Kindergarten!

Savannah is LOVING Kindergarten! She especially loves riding the bus with all her friends. I was going to drive her on the first day, but she was too excited to ride the bus. So, I just met her at school.

Can you see her on the bus? (I tried to get a better picture but she wasn't sitting by the window.)

Here she is after just getting off the bus on her first day. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't know where to go, but I soon found out that the supervisors walk them from the bus to the Kindergarten playground. When she saw me at the school, she was like, "Hey, mom," all cool and collected. That's my girl! (I must admit, I was a lot more nervous than she was. =})

Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Earl, who was hired the WEEK before school started. It's her first year teaching too. Talk about being overwhelmed. Anyway, I know she'll be great, and Savannah already loves her!

I met her at the bus stop after school but she didn't want to ride with me. She preferred walking home with the next door neighbor, hand in hand. So cute.

Holly watched out the window for "Gi gi" (as she calls her) to come home.

I'm not sure Savannah was happy with her decision to walk home on such a hot day. But, she finally made it. =)

Happy first day of Kindergarten, Savannah!

HolLy Guacamole!

Doug and I sat down to eat some chips and guacamole the other day, and Holly climbed up on a chair and started stealing chips from my plate and dipping them into the guacamole. I thought after her first bite she'd realize it wasn't something she really wanted and leave us alone to eat the rest. Boy, was I wrong.
By the time we were down to the last little bit, Holly was wiping the bowl clean with her fingers so as to not waste a single scoop.
Daddy offered her a lemon to go with her "hand scoops" of guacamole...
Gotcha! =)
