Shinara's poetry recital

Today Mrs. Courtney's class had their poetry recital. Several weeks before, Shinara had come home with a poem that had four stanza's with four lines in each. She recited the 1st stanza to me and I told her that she would need to memorize one stanza each week as part of her homework. Well, after her homework was finished, she sat down and in 3 min. she memorized the 2nd stanza. So, I told her that she could just memorize them when she wanted and then practice the delivery. I was amazed!

She did a great job with her delivery and didn't bob her head or do the sing- song recitation that pretty much every other child in her class did! She had great inflection and animation too.

Keddi's haircut- done up

This is what we can get Keddi's hair to do right after showering, with a hair dryer and small round brush. She really liked it, but someone at school gave her a hard time. Luckily one of her friends had the sense to tell her that if she liked it, it shouldn't matter what anyone else says!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day (yesterday.) Joel got me some speakers for my Ipod so that I can listen to my music upstairs. And the little girls had all kinds of cards and such made at school, church and activity day.

It's true I have 5 daughters, but no one makes Mother's Day shirts in bigger than baby sizes!
