Spirit Week 2012 Wednesday Sept. 26 = Twins Day!

So we matched the girls to each other,

they are such good sports about it. 

I told them that next year we could go though

 the work and effort of finding a best buddy to dress like,

but this year being each other's best buddy is good enough!

 Love them both so much!

Spirit Week 2012 Tuesday Sept. 25 = Wacky Tacky Tuesday!

Leah decided to wear a super hero costume for Wacky Tacky Tuesday where the idea is to be as silly as possible.  Arika dressed up as a Hula Girl.  They look adorable.  Then Leah and I decided to get a "little" crazy with the hair. Love it!

Wacky Tacky girls!

Ready for Hula

Ready for action

The magic of 6!

Arika seems to have crossed a milestone.  She is having a much easier time reading by herself.  For once tonight, we didn't have to argue, I didn't have to urge her to read every word.  She read because she could, just a simle book,  "Hop On Pop".  But she read the words and corrected herself when she used the wrong words. She smiled and had fun the whole time.  Love, love, love.  It's hard to instill reading for a child that doesn't like to sit still, but when we practice like tonight I will have renewed hope!  I will not give up on my Arika, just because she doesn't like to, doesn't mean she can't read.  We will keep practicing, and keep on trying to make it fun and interesting for her!  My sweet little 6!

Forest Lake High School Spirit Week for 2012

Happy Homecomming!

Monday Sept. 24th = Pajama Day

I just love the girls excitement for funny dress days at school.  So much excitement for "breaking routine".  Arika was hiding under her covers, because she didn't want to get up, as soon as I told her it was pajama day she peeked her head out and had a big smile on her face! Gotta love it!

After school we stopped at Walmart, girls still dressed in their pajamas. Leah says "Okay, I feel ridiculous!" Love it! LOL!
