Violet's love for Peanuts continues. We went to the library, and though she is a great reader - her latest reading score was in the 5th grade level! - she prefers comics.
One of her favorite things to do now is read the Peanuts comic book collection she checked out from the library, aloud, with her dad. They take turns reading the different characters' parts.
She also still enjoys drawing, and will decide on her own to find "how to" videos online for drawing cute animals.
Speaking of cute animals, Grandma and Grandpa were kitty-sitting this week when Melanie and Nick went away for her birthday.
Normally, I can't find my girls when they're on stage singing at Pioneer Club. They'll be behind bigger children. But on this particular Wednesday, there they were, singing together.
Violet was so excited about catching leprechauns this year. She started working on her Lego trap at Christmastime, and was thrilled that the first-graders in her split class were allowed to bring in their homemade traps, too.
She fully expected to catch one this time, and also made a cage out of popsicle sticks and hot glue, to bring it to school.
I asked why she wanted to catch a leprechaun - was she after his gold? "No, I just want to be his friend; then he will show me his gold."
As you can imagine, she was a little sad Friday morning when the leprechauns weren't fooled by her trap, and instead made a mess in the house and then broke free. They even changed the Lego words she'd written on the base - she had spelled out "Don't Peek," and they wrote out "Ha Ha."
Speaking of Ireland, look at those green hills! This gorgeous meadow is actually the area behind our pool.
And, my friends and I took our Friday walk to Starbucks amidst the greenery and the oak trees through the Summit. So pretty!
