Not a whole lot of time for posting... the summer is keeping us busy! So far we've been to the zoo, visited many parks and done lots of swimming. On the roster for the remainder of the summer: fishing, bowling and house-sitting for a week for dear friends.

Addah's K5 Graduation!

I was incredibly proud to see my youngest daughter Addah graduate from K5 kindergarten this past Friday. She won an award for Perfect Attendance (4th quarter and the whole year, one of only 3 kids in the school... 2 of which are my kids), Art Student of the Year and Outstanding Performance in Science. Way to go Addah Bee!

Here she is with her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Olson, who was the school's 2008-2009 Teacher of the Year (and consequently, the only thing that made this school worth attending, since Lakin's teacher has... issues).

Smart Kid

Lakin said last night that Palin shouldn't win "because you don't vote for people just because they're pretty" and McCain was "a bad man who wants you to vote for him because he has money".

Today she brought home homework.. had to write sentences with who/what/when/where/how/why. Some examples of her work include:

"Why are we messing up our planet so much?"

"Where will the polar bears live if their homes get destroyed?"

"When will our country ever get better?"

"How can we fix things if we don't vote?"

Duuuuude... I feel successful as a parent today. And she wrote these at school, so it's not like I helped her think of them or anything.

Renaissance Faire '08

Andy and I, along with my old high school friend David, took the girls to the Carolina Renaissance Faire this weekend. Much fun was had by all, as ever.
