Back to School

We started a back to school this week.

Z (3rd grade) and E (2nd grade) are still home with me.



M (7th grade) and B (6th grade) headed out to middle school.

Princess Polish

B was painting E's fingernails on Sunday.
She wanted them to look just like a princess.
Bright pink with blue sparkles, in case you've never seen princess polish in person.
As he was finishing up, he says to me, "Would you like your nails painted too?" "Pick a color."
As I sat down, I said, "you choose".
I guess he thought I was a princess too,
because my nails are bright pink with blue sparkles as well.

Reading Pays Off

E went to Build-A-Bear today and got the new (just hit stores today) Hannah Montana bear as a reward for completing her summer reading goals. She named her Miley, of course. She read 15 books over the Summer:
