Bailey Family

You're right, the title's probably a little much. :) SC State Fair - yea for $1 day (wish there was $1 food) but we buy the expensive greasy stuff anyways - because we love it! One man band was a big hit for the kids Pig Races! go pigs! Totem Pole project - the teacher probably suspects we helped him due to it's elaborate nature, but other than sawing the branch to length (which I didn't trust a 9 year old to do), he really did do it himself...this is stage 1 - bark removal and sanding. Probably should get a finished product picture to post... The hair wraps didn't last long - I need to read more tutorials. (No, A didn't have one - she just didn't want to be left out of the picture.) Come on...someone buy our house! :) PTA Oktoberfest - the twins danced with their kindergarten (German) classes - friends are blurred b/c I don't know who they are or if their parents would be cool with their kid's pic publicl...

One week we talked about Teeth and dental stuff, so we counted teeth (of those that were home) and graphed it. We also graphed other things when we talked about fall and leaves, etc. (This one is upside down, but I'm too lazy to flip it around.) We collected leaves and then graphed how many of each shape. (I made the graph  in publisher based on the leaves I knew we had/were able to collect in our yard.) Same idea as the last, but after they sorted by shape an...

Self portrait by my kindergartner. I still am getting used to them being so 'grown up' and going to school. I found a bunch of preschool papers the twins did last year at home (before I got to the point where my activities got lamer and what I did do, I didn't save anything of), so I'm going to throw all those ideas up here later for others to admire and use. :)
