I can't believe I have 3 kids in school this year. Jacob is going into 4th, Merry into 2nd and Grace into kindergarten. I cut 10 inches off of Grace's hair so we could streamline the morning production, she was sad at first now she loves it because it will finally curl with the help of pink rollers. Jacob opted for no haircut this year, I wonder how long he is going to make it with shaggy hair in the Florida heat. I always think I am going to take a ton of pictures, then we end up underestimating prep time. Oh well maybe next year.
Look how happy Eliza is for school to start.
Now she might get morning naps.
The first day of school was also the 1st day of dance. Merry is taking ballet and acrobatics. Grace is taking pre ballet.
Life at the lake is still humming. It has rained and rained and rained
this week so the lake came up about 8 feet. I looked out with the
binoculars at the canoe and it was half way under water. Merry and
Ashley headed down in their rubber boots to save the canoe. Merry
stepped in all the deepest puddles to ensure her boots would get nice
and sloshy. They found a clutter of banana spiders had taken refuge in
the canoe during the storm. Meanwhile our two surviving chickens
huddled under the wooden swing to survey the damage of the storm.
