Sights from our weekend

We did a (really big) puzzle. Guess who picked the design?


She practiced jumping backward off the ladder into the pool. She would flip over underwater and swim back to the wall on her stomach.


Look at that form! :)


A shot of the missing tooth (teeth). Look how much her new front tooth has come down. The other front tooth is showing a little, too.

Million dollar question

We were working on spelling this afternoon and got down to the word "prettier" It confused her, so we spent some time working on 'y'-becomes-'i'-add-'er'. By the time we worked through that rule, she was fed up with spelling. Her next word was "should"

I read it to her in a sentence, and she looked at me, sighed and said "How do you spell should!?" Then she realized that it was a spelling exercise and started laughing hysterically.
