Budding Meteorologist?

First, we have made it through two days of school and only have two days left to go! It's exciting! :) I met with the girls' first grade teacher this morning about the transition into first grade. We are very fortunate to be in a school with such caring, compassionate, wonderful teachers. We're going to meet her at the school in early August so the girls can get more acquainted with her, their classroom and all the other changes. I am so thankful for their willingness to help ease the fears, both the girls' and mine.

Now, on to the meteorologist story. Doodle was the first one out of the shower Sunday evening and immediately turned on the Wii for a quick solo game of bowling or tennis (she's recently branched out to include tennis in her skills). Gary really wanted to see the weather, but was met with Doodle's quick wit when he commented that he hadn't gotten to see it. She said, "Dad, I saw it. One day was rainy, the rest of them were sunny." She was totally serious. It didn't matter to her which day was rainy, just that only one of them was going to be soggy. That is optimism at its finest!

I took Boo & Doodle to town with me this afternoon for a trip to the library (we'll be doing that weekly after school's out - we made a deal!) and to pick up a few groceries/supplies for the rest of the week. They are so much fun! Hanny stayed with Meme, as usual. She really doesn't care to waste her time shopping, although she probably could have been convinced to go had she known we were going to the library. We ended up with some pet books (their choice) and a book on ladybugs. They've been discussing ladybugs at school and even took some to school to show both Kdg. classes. Since we didn't know what they ate, we decided to find a book to tell us. Now we know - aphids. Who knew? Anyway, it was a fun trip. I really, truly enjoy spending time with them. Lucky for me, after two more days we'll be spending LOTS of time together! :)
