First Day of School 2011

Well... here are my big girls.

El is staring 7th grade and

Eva

Ta Da!

Kindergarten!!!

She is quite excited and ready to go!

El is ready for another year of middle school.

El was quite excited to be able to walk Eva into school on her first day.

We did not have any tears (not even from me!).

Eva's class.

And home again!

This was actually Eva coming home the second day.

I picked her up on the first day. She was quite insistent about riding the bus on the second day. She enjoyed it but has had me pick her up ever since.

Kindergarten starts tomorrow!

Eva starts Kindergarten tomorrow! She is soooo excited. Here are some pictures I have not posted from pre-school.

This is Eva working on her journal in the Marble Falls library.

These are of Eva and Ian at the Bee Cave library story time.

But, she is a big girl now!

Cam Wow!

Eva loves her iTouch! It is a good thing since she saved and saved to buy it. She has downloaded an app called CamWow. Using this she can take pictures of anything and make it look like a black and white drawing. Sometimes I will print out these pix for coloring sheets. She will literally shoot 200-400 pictures. She will go until she runs out of memory.

As I was going through her pictures I had to laugh when I saw this one. This is a picture I have on the book shelf. It is a drawing Lolo made for me long ago of my sweet Vivian. The reason it made me laugh is because it is already a black and white drawing. So this is a picture made to look like a b&w drawing of a b&w drawing.

Eva also enjoys her app that makes distortions of the subject and taking hours of video... of herself!

Buster is visiting

Our buddy next door is visiting. We are watching sweet Buster while his Mommy and Daddy are in Canada (enjoying the cool air). Buster is quite afraid of thunderstorms. Eva and I cuddled him earlier this year as a storm rolled through. She felt badly that he was so frightened. She also knows that we have been wishing for rain! We have only had 1/2 inch of rain all summer long. However, she finally figured it all out...

Eva came running to me... "Mom! We are gonna have a thunderstorm!"

I replied, "I don't think so kiddo, no rain for at least another week."

Eva enthusiastically replies, "No, we are, we are! We have Buster and

every time we have Buster there is a thunderstorm!!!"

Well, the logic is there! Let's hope she is correct.

Shopaholic

Eva shot this picture of El after her shopping trip with Jessica. She bought the sunglasses and some lotion. This was her first alone shopping. I was in the Galleria area but the big girls went off and shopped sans parents.

Ice Cold Lemonade!!!

Our forecast this week is 106, 106, 106, 106, 105, 105, 105!

So what are girls to do? Open up a lemonade stand! El and Eva were bored one hot afternoon and decided to make a little cash off the heat. unfortunately we live on a cul de sac at the farthest end of our neighborhood. I was the only customer. They did get two drive-bys. With this heat they did not stay out too long.

The fun was in the preparation!

They created their own bottle labels. The customers had a choice of Lemonade or Green Iced Tea.

I don't think we have seen the last of Two Sisters Lemonade.
