I cannot believe my little G is done with Kindergarten. I am OLD!!!!! She is OLD!!!!! But everyone is excited about SUmmer vacation. It is just sad. SHe told a teacher-helper "thank you for keeping us safe, in Kindergarten...but you don't have to anymore...we are first graders." then she touched her cheeked and grinned creepily.....ummmmmm
weird. hahahahahhaha
The LAst full day...here we come Summer Summer SUmmertime
Today was the end of year Ice Cream party at school. Slide shows and part 1 of her "portfolio" came home today. Between this and Toy Story 3 (with Andy going off to college) We can barely hold it together around here!
Almost there! last 2 1/2 days of Kindergarten! Cannot believe it!
Snow white was a rousing success!!!!! And....she will be in the paper again on Friday. woohoooo
Tomorrow=Katie. Wednesday =Snow White. Friday=Graduation picnic. Saturday=Jackson's party. Sunday=Father's day!

jeez
We have 5 days.....the girls think it is HILARIOUS to pretend to not know their lines. not funny. Plus they have never run the show straight through. Oh boy! G knows hers...but is doing it with a british accent......for a laugh. should be interesting.
ps...bad hair day...what is goin on there?! hahaha
G is totally stoked...field day. She does think she can actually "win" field day...because she knows how to run like a cheetah and jump over a baseball bat.
First of all, there are no winners. Secondly, not sure she's gonna walk away with the Gold folks.
At least we have the final Snow White dress rehearsal tonight to nurse her wounds. haha
One of them always has them....crazy eyes. so chilly we needed hoodies and apparently Halloween socks for school today.
Like Mother Like Daughter...stains on her shirt EVERY day! 13 days of school left...but we're not counting or anything.
booooooooooooh!!!!! At least its movie night, and we have TWO parties this weekend. Plus Mommy gets to line her kitchen shelves with cork finally. I know, pretty exciting right?!

These two in dance camp together should be interesting!!!!!
1/2 day at school, chores done, Daddy home for 4 days, Dairy farm open, Duckie race, Jackson's family b-day shindig....fun fun fun.
G is going to the Aquarium today! Her favorite place. Woo hooooo! Of course, she told Jackson...he got super excited to go see the turtle who poops all over the tank....then we broke it to him...DEVA STATED.
Do you think if we "randomly" show up, I'll look like a crazy stalker Mommy????
Yeah, probably.

the song choice...wait for it..."you belong to me" Taylor Swift...should be just a little bit of awesome;)
Oh! The rain!!!!! Our yard looks like a swampland. G wanted to wear her Yankees cap to school for extra head protection. This progressed into 20 questions about the sport of baseball...hmmmmmm, Douglas family+sports=
FAIL.
But, being a dutiful Mommy, I bestowed upon my lovely daughter everything I had to give about Baseball.
You know, everything I ever learned from Eighth grade P.E. and from Ferris Bueller. Golf claps. Thank you. Thank you.
another rainy Monday. BUT.... the Dragon movie was "totally the most awesome" except Jackson jibberjabbers through everything. Good thing we weren't in a NYC theater, and no one heckled US! ;)
All I can say about G is....she can't wait to see where the crazy bunny hides her basket...he better have some new ideas. the Douglas kids are a tough bunch.
OBJECT OF INTEREST= "can I wear my beach coverup since its Spring, Mommy?" " sure G...with a turtleneck." Fun times in Ct this March.

Surprise Surprise.
Jack is currently snuggled up on the couch next to me watching Snow White "and her so handsome prince"
he's a little bit of has a cold ;)
red and pink and red and pink and pink and red and pink and red......
Today is Snow white...it bothers me that one of her improv lines is " it's Apple that makes the men smile!!!!!" says the witch to Snow White regarding pies. Creepy.
object of interest= the countdown to Dragon Saturday...they are mostly excited about the contraband gummi worms that we smuggle in;)
