Sunday Funday.

Do I blog anymore?  No, I don't actually think that I do.  Although the approaching end of a school year gets me feeling pensive and nostalgic.  My girls have grown and changed so much this year.

First grade for Charlotte has been busy and exciting.  She makes friends in a snap and has a contagious laugh and smile.  I love to see her marching across the playground at the end of the day, best friend by her side, giant backpack bouncing up and down with every step, knobby knees, and skinny arms swinging.  She's so miniature out there, and that gives me a second of hesitation, but school makes her feel happy and confident.  She loves science and art and reads like a maniac, usually in the middle of three books at a time.

Victoria is wrapping up preschool, which has been a breeze.  She is really well behaved, likes to accomplish her work, and likes to be independent.  She is a good reader for a five year old, although it's hard to tell because she can hardly be bothered to sit down with someone bigger than she is to show off her skills.  I'm always surprised at parent teacher conference at the things she knows and can do.  She is a numbers girl.  Loves to count, is great at addition and subtraction, and can even multiply a little.  She is quietly competent and completely sure of herself.  She never hesitates; she just goes. 

Court and I are plugging along with our stuff.  School and work for him, and a busy work schedule for me.  But we're boring.  Happy, but boring.  So who wants to hear about us?  (There is nobody I'd rather be boring with than Courtland, for the record.)

Here are some pictures from our family fun day today.  We went to dinner and then the drizzly rain forced us to abandon our outdoor plans and stay in the car so I snapped pictures while Court (and sometimes Tori) looked at cars.

 

The City and County building.  Lookin' like Hogwarts.

We spotted this old war plane in the sky.  So cool.
