Peace-out, 2nd grade

Where did the year go?? Jbird at her "pool party" (told the neighborhood kids she'd put them on the "list" and they could get in "free") on the last day of school, and here back in September on her first day of 2nd grade.

Nothing's cooler...

than the SCOOLER... Jadyn's invention for the "invention convention" at school. We are so proud of her.. she thought of this INGENIOUS adaptation to your average scooter. What does the SCOOLER do? Well, in Jadyn's words... this detatchable (industrial strength velcro) cooler, allows you to keep on playing and have your drinks and snacks with you so you don't have to go inside. You can sit on it, you can kneel on it... you can kick it at the park all day with your Scooler.

I don't know why I'm worried about getting another job. I need to patent this thing right away. The envious eyes of other kids as she rode her invention into school on the day we finished.. you should have seen it. By far the best one on display at second grade Open House (yes, she wanted to wear 'teenager shirt' again).

****taking orders now*** Jadyn overheard this morning saying that a Scooler conversion of your ordinary scooter would cost "Four bucks for friends, Five bucks for non-friends" what?? that's like selling yourself short, J!... "well, if you want the whole thing, it's still 60 bucks" um, okay. ********

Father Daughter dance...

unfortunately we could only get this one shot of the two leaving before the dance.. sure wish we could have been flies on the wall to see them cutting a rug...

Second Grade!!

J is so happy to be starting school with her old friends, Zoe and Peytie
So (ew) the moustashe is back


Jadyn's cool outfit for her first day at a new school. I think she was a little nervous, but we were so excited for her as she headed off with her new supplies and new clothes... and SCARF on an 80 degree day in Southern California. I still have butterflies wondering what they're doing "getting to know each other" in her new classroom.
