First Day of Fourth Grade

What can I really say?  The time is going by entirely too quickly.  What's funny is while I'd like to slow it down in some areas of our life, I'd like to speed it up in others.  Either way, another school year has begun and it's hard to believe that Brenna is in 4th grade.  She was more than happy to kick off another school year, after what felt like the shortest summer so far.  Sometimes I wish I could be more like her in that aspect; always happy to move ahead to the next step.

She's excited about moving up to be a Reading Buddy to one of the little kids, instead of being the little kid that gets read to.  She's excited about trying out her first musical instrument, the recorder, in music class.  They're all excited about the new library, band hall, and art room that they get to break in this year.   And I have to admit that her excitement is contagious.

Halloween 2016

This year for Halloween Brenna randomly decided to be a pirate.  I don't know where the idea came from, but after a quick search she was set on pink pirate costume!  As a christian school, our school doesn't officially recognize the holiday.  So there's no halloween parties and no costume day.  But one of our bus drivers wouldn't let Halloween slip by without alittle fun.
