Today at school I officially read.  That’s right, read.  We’ve got these little paper books that have an illustration on one side and the corresponding word on the other.  The practice is to cover the illustration immediately and not steal a glance, sound out the word, say the word and then confirm the word against the illustration.  I’m nailing it people.

My teacher Henta sez that I be rockin’ the keyboard LIKE A BOSS!

We headed out to the Little House in the Woods for some R&R with friends John and Andy.  Mommy knows Andy from the wine shop at the Chateau.  John dubbed me Bacon Girl because I ate 14lbs for breakfast.  We went on a hike…

Kitty Purry… The cat of one Miss Katy Perry.

Today at school, at approximately 4:10PM, I got my 1st bee sting.  The good news?  Seemingly no Epi-pen or Benadryl needed FTW!

Today the family 3 headed out onto Lake Union for a paddle around and gander at all the houseboats and fellow boaters.  Awesome!

We put our notice in at ELDC today that my last day of school there will be September 10th, 2009.  And then it’s on to Pacific Crest.  Boom Shalak-alaka.

Today the Kookaburras and Wombats boarded metro buses and headed downtown to the Columbia Center, the tallest building in Seattle.  Pretty fascinating stuff and the field trip went off without a hitch.

Week’s Theme:  Structures

For the past two weeks we’ve been learning about buildings and skyscrapers.  Ella enjoyed getting out of the school for a bit on our field trip downtown.  Even more exciting than the Columbia Center for her was the bus ride where she laughed the whole time as the bumps jostled her in her seat.
