Mira is getting ready to celebrate her 100th day of kindergarten in about 2 weeks. She's so excited and it's a pretty big deal at her school! We had to decorate the number "73" for the wall. It got covered in glitter-glue and yellow and purple feathers. Yes, it's as pretty as it sounds!
Mira has taken to reading with a passion. She loves the "Biscuit" my first book series and is so proud when she reads them to us. She knows so many sight words too. I love seeing how much she has absorbed this year in kindergarten. It's quite exciting to see her writing and spelling and reading and doing math!
Mira now has a chore chart and is getting an allowance when she completes all her chores for the week. She was so excited at Target today and couldn't decide what to spend it on! We're hoping she starts learning how to save her money for a bigger splurge, instead of on candy and $2 toys.
Amelia is growing like a weed! She's still in love with her "pink princess jammies" and insists on wearing them every day. She's doing much better with talking too late into the night while Mira is trying to sleep. We started a sticker chart and it seems to be doing the trick. She's still as sassy and willful as ever. What? That sweet face? Absolutely!
Winter is adjusting to life at our house pretty well. His house accidents are far fewer, and he's quite a sweet little dog. He is having to adjust to spending the day alone now that Chris started a job at Target Corp. this week. We are all adjusting to the new schedule, and I really miss my housekeeper, grocery-getter, laundry-doer. So we are back to cleaning house on the weekends (boo!) and doing laundry and grocery runs whenever we can fit them in.
Here are the girls this morning, on their way to Japan! Actually, we just took them to the grocery store. Good times. I asked Mira why she wanted to go to Japan, and she said she wanted to get some food. I asked what kind of food. She said, "Pizza!" Ha!
Hope you are all well. Lots of snow coming in the next few days. Stay warm with hot cocoa and marshmallows!

very cute- we started an allowance for chores also- I am finding the beds made and clothes picked up much more now.
Wondering why the number 73, is that significant to her? curious.
Oh, the number 73 was just the number she got. They gave 100 kids 100 numbers and that was ours. How much do you give the kids for allowance? We started with $5 per week.
Thanks for all the cute pictures of the girls and Winter!! So glad Mira loves school and Amelia is just as fiesty as ever!! Love you all, Mom
