So the summer is over and third grade has begun. Despite some first morning jitters both girls like their teachers and being back in school. No one has ignored them on the playground, blamed them for something they didn't do, or given them homework. So it was all good. Here they are on the first day of school:
At the bus stop (aka our driveway) they got to hang out with our neighbor Abby who we hadn't seen since the last day of school!:
They each selected a new backpack to start the year. Hannah picked one based on "Victorious" her new favorite show, and Lizzie picked one with two dogs on it. She ended up with Labradors because they didn't have poodles:
Here's the full effect. They are wearing their brand new Twinkle Toes shoes and carrying their Pack-It lunch boxes that keep the food cold for up to 10 hours. (Which I have to say, they do!):
And..... they're home, enjoying some oatmeal scotchies and milk. They each came home with a bunch of paperwork and an assignment to show up with a full set of multiplication flashcards by Tuesday. By the end of 3rd grade they need to know all the times tables through 12x12. YIKES!!!

How about a math talent show at our next gathering? Just kidding! Aunt A
Rather fond of labradors over here. And, given a little time, I think I can come up with 12x12 :)
