Spider Girl

Lexie has decided that she is half human and half jumping spider.  Where she got the idea, I'm not really sure.  This morning, after we finished her four homework questions, she was sitting with me and telling me that there was a "fellow" jumping spider in the library yesterday.  She related their conversation, then thought about it and said, "Actually, I couldn't talk with him, because I'm half human."


Saturday, Lex and I went bowling with John, Shannon and Bill.  She's starting to enjoy it pretty much.

First Grade

I'm upset with myself for not keeping up with this sprite blog.  I have a new resolution to do better at it.  Lex started first grade last Tuesday. She loves it, but she comes home so tired from the extra hours. 

 

Almost exactly at the same time, both Lex and John thought up the idea of a webcast for Lex.  Unfortunately, they picked me as the camera girl, so while I've got some great stuff, it's not edited, and I've been lazy enough to not upload it anywhere.  I'll get on that too. 

 

Lex's latest antic is to try to get Munkee, our one year old adoptee cat, into the shower.   She actually having some success.  Oh, I remember the days when I tried to get my cats into the bath/shower with me at a younger age.  It seems so much more difficult to supervise as a parent!  I remember the excitement of the project at a young age, but I'm pretty sure I was more clandestine at it than Lex is. I believe I wanted to keep it a secret from my Mom, but she actually wants my help...  and I'm not sure why, but I try. Munkee is her cat as much as mine, but she has some power over him that I'm baffled by.  He'll let her take him into the shower without so much as scrathing her, let alone tearing her to pieces.  He just comes back out and licks himself dry.  Rather stoic cat.

 

There is so much else that's been going on, I'll have to work on putting it all into this diary/blog.
