Student of the Week

In Libby and Mallory's kindergarten class they were able to be student of the week. Mallory got to be it the week of their birthday and then Libby did the week after. The girls were very excited to make a poster to show the class all of their favorite things and have it on display for the week. I also got to go to school and read each of their favorite books to the class. Mallory's was "A Bad Case of Stripes" and Libby's was "David Gets in Trouble". They also brought dounuts for the class on their birthday

Libby's Haircut

It was Sunday November 1st and Mallory had been sick that day, so she was lying on the couch most of the day. That evening after dinner Libby was in the girls room playing by herself. I remember thinking to myself that she had sure been good about entertaining herself all day since Mallory wasn't feeling well. Then she came out. I didn't notice at first (because there were still big clumps of long hair that she had missed) then I said "Libby what were you thinking" and in a very cute Innocent voice she replied "I just wanted to look like you Mommy". Shawn started to laugh and said you can't get mad at that. Which he was right. Then I relized it was Sunday night and there was nowhere I could go to get her hair fixed before school the next morning. Well I did the best I could to make her presentable and then right after school we went to get a real hair cut.

Since this little experience many people have thanked us, especially their school teacher because now they can tell the girls apart. I just tell them that I can't take credit for it.

Libby & Mallory's First Day of School

OK I know that the school year is almost over so I'm sure that most of you are wondering why I am writing about it now. Well I always say better late then never, I am going to try very hard to catch up with this year and be much better going forward, since I am sure you are all dying to see what is going on in the Richards life.

Libby and Mallory started Kindergarten on August 27, 2009 They are in Mrs. LeBaron's class at Hidden Hollow Elementary. The girls were so excited to start school, I as their mother can not say the same. In fact when we were at the school I started to cry so hard that Shawn said he was going to send me back to the van to sit so I wouldn't scare the girls. I was much better when I picked them up and saw how excited they were and how much fun they had. Libby's first thing she said to me was "Mom what outfit am I going to wear tomorrow?" She is such a girl.
