Can't believe it's been a month since I posted...hysteria continues to rain down in our household. We spent a great week in Nags Head the last week of August, and then it was back to school. Ellie has started off 3rd grade really well -- enjoying math, surprisingly. I don't know how long that'll last, but I'm hopeful. Lauren is happily back as a real "older," not the fake one she insisted on being last year. Erin is quite the personality -- from what I hear at school, she gets pushed around quite a bit because she's so little, but she gets right in everyone's face with a pointed finger and the verbal message, "I don't LIKE dat!" She is a force to be reckoned with.
Some random observances:
Lauren's new joke: What do you call cheese that's not yours?
Answer: Nacho cheese
On the drive home from school each day, if the older girls try to talk to me, Erin screams at the top of her lungs, "NO TALK (insert sister's name)!!!! DRIVE!!!" She will do this every single time someone opens their mouth.
Ellie started off the year with girl drama -- she and another classmate don't seem to particularly care for each other (they also know each other from YCamp), and I spent a fair amount of time during the 1st week of school talking to Ellie about how you're not going to like everyone, and everyone is not going to like you. Ellie seemed determined to win this girl over. Sooo Ellie. Things seem to have died down on that front, but I am soooo not looking forward to 3 adolescent girls, especially when you see that kind of stuff trickle down to 7-8 year olds.
