Friday the girls finished 1st and 2nd grades! They loved this year, adjusted very well, learned a lot and made some new friends in their new school along the way.
Last day interviews coming soon. I know you’re anxious to read those.
We party hardied with cupcakes and ice cream.
And I finally got out all the Summer Fun Toys I’ve been stashing away. Special thanks to Kristi and my mom for all the Summer Fun Toys BTW!!

I’ll take a break from our usual Person of Interest when it comes to hair and update you all on the big girls latest style! They have been wanting “short hair” for over a year now but I have never trusted my self or my magic pruners to provide a satisfactory short hair cut. Short = Buzz right?
Well, a couple weeks ago a dear lady and new friend at church, Carissa, who happens to be a professional stylist asked me how I cut the kids hair. I went into my long sob story.
The next week she asked if she could give the girls hair cuts!!! Why YES PLEASE YES! Was pretty much my response.

While we were packing to leave Bancroft I went through a box of all my old school papers my sweet Mama had kept through the years. It was funny (and embarrassing) to look through the drawings and the old report cards. I saw right there how much of my scholastic and non-scholastic personalities were already manifesting themselves. My teachers report:
“Aubri is such a sweet girl and a good listener, but bless her heart she just can’t multiply to save her life!”
Ok, they didn’t say that, but…read between lines….
Anyway, I didn’t keep a lot of my old work but some things I had to set aside. This book was one of them.
I’m not sure when I made it. Based on the handwriting I’d say probably 12th grade? Ha ha, I’m so funny. Well, maybe 2nd or 3rd grade since scissors were involved. And I’m sure I didn’t create the little story on my own, most likely a clever art teacher somewhere did, so I won’t claim that much creativity for myself.
I stashed it with our Fall decorations and pulled it out the other day to read to the babies. Lily loved it and decided to make her own which is a good idea since this one due, to it’s antiquity, is falling apart….papyrus you know.
So for your Halloween reading pleasure I present; Jack O’s Face.
“This is Jack O Happy.”
“This is Jack O Sad.”
“Now you see him sleeping.”
“Now you see him mad!”
“This is Jack in pieces small.”
“But in a pie he’s best of all.”

July 28th the day we moved to Omaha was Lily’s seventh birthday. We rolled into town, piled into the MegaVan and headed over to our new friends’, the Berndt’s house for supper. We were all very surprised to find they had a surprise birthday party planned for our girl! Cupcakes, balloons and a gift to make her day special.
