Test-time

Lately, K seems to have had quite a few tests and another big one coming up Thursday on the Interior Plains region of Canada. She has to know information about the climate, natural resources, plants, animals and the geography of the region. She recently had one on the Canadian Shield and she got 27/30. We were so proud. She also got 47/50 on a big spelling test and 12/15 on her grammar test for quotation marks. She is working so hard lately and I just wanted to share all the great news about how well she was doing!

Now, it's test time for mama - 3 exams next week...It's almost over, it's almost over, it's almost over...


This is Ms. KK and Ms. MacKenzie together shopping for 'fabulous' clothes at Old Navy on a recent trip. A girl's gotta have a break once in a while from all this school work, what's more fun than shopping???

More Sleepover Pictures and a Letter to the Easter Bunny

Here are a few more photos of the sleepover queen and her court - Jenna and MacKenzie in a few shots, then Mac & Kennedy in the last ones shopping, and singing Kareoke and just being generally silly. Also included in this set is K's letter to the Easter Bunny. She just popped upstairs and said, "I want to write a letter to the Easter Bunny." Who am I to argue? She also wanted to know where he lived so I told her "Easter Island." Sounds like a good answer to me!
(as ever, hit F5 if Flickr is being a pain and the refresh should bring the photos up)

Ms. Straight Hair

Mom, if you're reading, stop now - you won't like this!

Kennedy was born with beautiful curly hair. One might even call it 'unruly' at times but it's sweet and it's Kennedy. Of course, however, she wants long STRAIGHT hair all the time. I finally gave in and straightened her hair with a straightener, she looked so different!!! I can't blame her though, I remember being a teenager and despising my curly locks (I now love and appreciate them). Here is Ms. Straight Hair:
