Coordinated?
The whole Smith family is wearing the Outfit du Jour in this photo!

We all went ice skating in December 2007!
Find The Fib
All the kids wrote about their impressions of Spring. Carly managed to sneak a bit of fiction in her Spring assignment.
Here’s what her story said:

Can you tell what part of this might not be exactly the truth?

Another Qute Story
While reading to Carly last month, I asked her to point out the Q’s on the page. She said there weren’t any. When I showed her a Q and asked what letter she thought it was, she said it was an O with a toothbrush in it’s mouth!
real life names
Last night Carly said she knows her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Ciccone’s real name.
“It’s Karen. – That’s her name in real life.”

Where the seeds went
On Feb 17, 2008 Carly and I planted Sweet Pea’s. We put pink seeds in front of the wood fence, mixed-color along the entry way and red June-blooming seeds on the side of the house near the fence. We also planted 4 wisteria seeds!

What happens when you don’t go to school?
Jan 15, 2008 On the way to school Carly asked me “Do you know what happens when you don’t go to school for a long time and you are not sick? The Dog catcher catches you and puts you in his truck.”
Note: I asked her where she got that idea. It turns out that something similar happened in the book “Ramona the Pest”. Needless to say we had to read that book together. It’s a really funny story from a 5 year olds perspective.
We Have No Puppy Named Buddy
Here’s a letter I just got from Carly’s teacher after I requested homework sent home:
You and your husband are doing a great job! I will make sure Carly gets the homework packet in her Friday Folder. Keep up the great work with Carly!

P.S. So was it an April fools joke about getting a puppy named Buddy?
Outfit Du Jour
This picture was taken Jan. 11, 2007. It’s one of my favorites. It is also a great example of one of the kinda crazy outfits Carly has put together. I think she makes it work somehow.
