A Picture Update

Happy Friday!  This was a big week.  On Monday Maya enjoyed some reading (she's getting really good!) and then they started a roller blading unit in PE.  I can't stop giggling at the pictures her teacher sent.

On Tuesday we went to vote as soon as I picked the girls up from school.  Check out Maya's two front teeth HANGING ON BY A THREAD.

It was Chris' mission to get those two teeth out that night, and Maya did her best to make it as difficult as possible.  After awhile she was able to get one out on her own, and then it took a lot of nagging and crying and ultimately Chris had to pull the second one out.



On Wednesday the girls helped G-ma bake pumpkin pie after school...

...and Callie got the news that she won the election for treasurer at their school!  She got on student council earlier this year, and then made the choice to run for treasurer.  She had to create a campaign poster and record a video that was shown to the whole school.  And she won!

"It just makes cents!" also makes me giggle.  Nerd humor, amiright?

So on Wednesday night we went out to dinner to celebrate her victory and Chris/Maya's victory over her two loose teeth.



Yesterday Maya played Mastermind with Pa after school.

And this morning she read Luna a book called "The Best Pet" and tonight wore a Quality Chick shirt for jammies, which only means something to you if you went to Luther or have ever lived in Decorah...which I have and must have bought that shirt for Callie MANY years ago.  Or maybe Auntie Mari did.  Anyway, Go Norse.

Have a great weekend!
