1. Maggie made this Jack O' Lantern craft at school last week. The teacher pointed out some extra tissue paper on the top. Apparently Maggie gave it hair. How cute (and appropriate given her own head of hair!) is that?
2. Campbell has been very interested in reading so I brought home some easy readers from school. She learned the words and read them so quickly! I think she's going to be reading up a storm soon!
3. We took an impromptu trip to Riverbanks Zoo with my sister, Sara, and her step-son, Potter. I love how the 3 kids love each other and are so happy to see each other! I really think that Campbell may one day work with animals. She was not afraid to feed and pet the giraffe. Maggie is getting much more adventurous about, too!
4. Campbell wrote her first word this week that was unprompted and not spelled for her. So proud of her!
5. Every night I sing "You are my Sunshine" to each girl as I kiss her good night. Apparently it's become a very special thing for each of them. One night I accidentally woke Maggie up as I re-tucked her in before I went to bed and she mumbled "Shunshine one mo time?" and of course I sang one more time. Campbell has been curious about life and death recently. Last weekend she asked me "If you die, who will sing Sunshine to me?" After I caught my breath which was immediately knocked out of me, I answered that I'm planning to live to be an old lady but if something ever happened to me, she would always be able to hear me singing Sunshine to her. All she'd have to do is close her eyes and listen because I'll be shouting it from Heaven.
