 Megan helped out our neighbor, Julie, with cleaning up her yard a couple weeks ago. After she got bored with raking, she spotted the hula hoops Julie had from when her daughters were younger. Megan tried it out and was intrigued. Julie let her bring the blue one home and she’s been practicing ever since! With a little help from one of the neighbor kids, Megan has become pretty good at hula hooping. She can keep it up for quite a while when she tries…and when she’s not being goofy!    Since today was the second day with temperatures in the upper 80’s, the girls were begging to get the sprinkler out. They had a blast getting wet and were sad when it was time to turn it off. The neighbor kids came over and joined in the fun too!
   
Last summer, our neighbors dug out about a hundred tulip bulbs before they rearranged their flower beds, and gave them to us because we had always admired them. In the fall, Megan and I put them all into the flower bed out front, and we’ve been waiting ever since. Earlier this spring, when the little plants started to poke out, we were both so excited. Day by day, they’ve come closer and closer to blooming, and finally we have tulips!
  I’m not quite sure how we should take this. I spotted this hand-written by Megan note on the fridge the other day. It just made me laugh. I wonder who she was mad at?  I thought the girls were too cute as they both sat there snuggled under the blankets with their books. Megan’s reading has improved by leaps and bounds this year. She checked this book (The Ugly Duckling) out of the library at the beginning of the year and was overwhelmed by the length and difficulty. Now, she’s sitting there reading the entire thing, by herself! It has been amazing to watch her learn and grow so much with her reading skills. Molly is at the stage where she memorizes her books. She has recited the entire Pinkilicious book as she’s sat there with Megan. It’s so neat to see how they both love their books. I’m so glad that it is a habit that Scott and I have passed on to both of our girls! |
