Moving on Up!

Well, it is official.  Grace got her walking paper (moving letter) to the Orange Team.  For those uneducated in the VA preschool system...this means K4.  She will officially move on Tuesday, September 2.  The cut off for kindergarten in VA is 5 by September 30, so she will go next year.  We will apply for the all city magnet school and also try for out of district near Children's Harbor.  She is very excited.  According to her she will learn to "write colors."  Meaning, she will learn to spell the names of colors, along with MANY other important events.  There is a state curriculum for 4 year olds that the schools follow.  We will be able to following along at home with it.  She is already interested in reading.  Before we know it, this year will be gone and it will be off to K5.  

Lunch and Learning

Tripping with Brother

Lamar got the jeep out of the garage. We had BIG fun at our house this weekend. I strapped Walter in, just to see his reaction. He ended up riding with Grace for about 20 minutes. Grace is an excellent driver and only hit the tree once. Walter had an absolute ball. I am so glad that they get along...for now:)

Mekiyah's Birthday Party

Grace went to Mekiyah's birthday party at the skating rink. Would you believe that my little daredevil decided that she wanted to skate. Lamar walked around the rink and held her hand. She wanted him to let go. Looks like we have a skater on our hands.

Yummy Fries!

Hey look! I have two french fries.

Wait!!! You mean BOTH of these are for me??!!

Okay. For all of your that are going to yell at me for giving the eleven month old french fries, please keep in mind that he cannot have any milk products. This means ice cream, yogurt, cheese, etc. So, he gets french fries. So sue me!
