Ally's Day


She is so excited to be four....can you tell!



At the pool, I love her new switsuit from Granny T.



She requested pizza for lunch so we stop off at Chucky Cheese for pizza and games.



















We were surprised it wasn't raining so we thought we would taken advantage and go to a playground before dinner.

Last week


We had an end of the school year picnic...ice cream, juice, cupcakes and watermelon.




PF with her friend Sophia doing their best at Karaoke.

The red sisters.
Life has been crazy for all of us so we have had less time to take pictures. They are all excited about moving and Ladybugs birthday. I keep trying to get some good summer pictures of all the girls but it keeps raining....good thing summer technically hasn't started.
PF has started using new curriculum for 5th grade. Since she hasn't been used to many graded tests this has been quite a change for her and I. I have been teaching her study techniques to help her retain the info better. After week one, she is doing well so I think week 2 and on will only be better.
Butterfly is finishing up preschool on Monday. I have mixed feelings about it. I am glad that all of our activities are coming to an end and we can control our own schedule again. Therapy is going really well and her therapist today said she talked for 95% of the hour. If you know Butterfly well, you know she doesn't talk much. She is almost halfway through her Kindergarten curriculum (we have been taking it slowly and at her pace). We have also started back up reading lessons and she is doing really well with them. I believe her confidence is increasing.
Ladybug is so excited about turning four and thinks we are going to go out tomorrow get a book bag and she is going to go to school. I guess it works out that school is closing for the summer. She loves the pool and will go under the water without it bothering her. She loves doing reading lessons and schoolwork.
Dragonfly is doing well also. She is starting to vocalize alot more. Words aren't clear but she is placing sounds for each thing she wants....banana, water, all done, up, passy, eat, more, night night, no, please, yes mama, shoes, another one....are just a few. She also loves to point out all your facial features and can say them all too. She is trying to jump on the trampoline by herself, it is rather cute. She LOVES to talk on the phone especially to Papa.
