BEST FRIENDS OR WHAT?
I tucked them each in their own beds tonight. Guess they pulled one over on us tonight.
I've got three little sneaky girls.
Love these girls!

Big Changes In 1 School Year

This is the last day of 2nd Grade!This was taken the first day of 2nd Grade!
These girls have changed so much in one school year. 2nd Grade was such a fun school year for them. They loved their teacher and learned so much. I can't believe how much better readers they are and the math that they are already learning is shocking! They continue to be as different as can be. They each want to start their own blogs this summer so watch out for those.

Some changes in Ashleigh include a continued desire to dress in the latest fashions. I now turn to her for advice on fashion. Every morning when she comes upstairs from school I am amazed at her accessorizing talents! She did such a great job this year cheerleading and doing ballet. She has also become an excellent babysitter. She changes diapers, puts the little ones to bed, makes bottles, sippy cups etc. She's also become more interested in boys this school year. This is pretty scary, especially for Dad. She is an excellent student, always striving to please others.

Caitley continues to be such a little mother to her baby brother and sister. She is always so aware of their needs and very protective of them. She cries when they get hurt, it's really cute. We finally got her front tooth out after wiggling it for a year. We had to have it pulled by the dentist, but it's finally out and definitely making her look older. Sometimes I wish they could keep their baby teeth forever. She has excelled in reading so much this year and is a natural at math. Don't know where she got that from, it wasn't from her parents. Since the day this girl was born she has always been a thinker. She continues to listen and ponder on every word that is said. I am always underestimating her knowledge of things that are going on around her. She's a lot smarter than I ever think she is.

Brittany is still her spunky self. She is the life of the party, always everyones best friend! Her love for animals has grown even more this year and still begs me everyday to get a pet. Her dreams came true last week when I allowed them to bring home their classroom tadpoles. I'm sorry to report that they didn't make it but a couple of days in our home before being overfed. Whoops! Brittany's crossbite was fixed this school year too! Thanks to 2 retainers. It would have only been one had one not been lost somewhere at school. It's all good, worth it in the end. She has an amazing smile now and perfect teeth! Brittany is an exceptional reader, often reading books on 5th and 6th grade levels in record times. Give this girl a book and you won't see her for hours. Take the book away and you can't get her to stop talking!

It's hard to believe I will have 3rd Graders next year. That happened overnight! I'm so proud of them and love them so much!
