Over the summer, all the kids learned to do more chores than we have previously done. I have learned that just because they are young, doesn't mean that they can't have chores, and learn how to do a really good job. Ally was my biggest helper, and my best cleaner this summer. She even learned how to clean the bathroom, all by her self, and once again, she does a pretty darn good job. :)
Allison had her 6th birthday in September. It was a fun day and she was thrilled with everything. She is such a sweetheart, and we love her dearly. Here is a picture with her sister Olivia after opening her birthday gift...bubble bath!
Ally blowing out her candles. I am not much of a cake baker, but cream filled cupcakes are a specialty of mine, so cupcakes it was....and they were super delicious. :)
(What a cute girl!)
Ally wanted to help dad mow the lawn, and here she is, in her dress and flip-flops, mowing the lawn, and doing a very good job I might add for a 6 year old. She turned the corners like an old pro.
Another first for Ally, she started 1st grade this year. Seeing as how she missed the deadline last fall to start kindergarten by just a few weeks, we decided to have her tested, and ultimately put right into 1st grade. She is a super smart kid, and is doing very well in school. She consistently gets 100% on her spelling test, she loves to read, and is reading at a very high level, and most of all, she loves being with friends and being social all day. School has been wonderful for her! We are so proud of her.
