Boring stories of glory days (Cats win 41-3)

Dorothy is planning an "Anne of Green Gables"-themed borthday sleepover

 

Weekend fun

Many of our neighbors met-up at the beach (Dorothy is on the far right)

 

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy was reading a book where children from the past time-traveled to the present.  Dorothy explained, "The characters from the 1800s are learning about 1998, and the funny thing is, I am also learning about 1998!"

Dorothy's class was researching careers, and Dorothy chose "elementary school teacher."  She told me, "After doing the research, I feel sorry for elementary school teachers.  Google says that they spend their whole summer and all their breaks grading papers and doing lesson plans, and that they make less money every year."

We saw a classic car on the road, and I told Dorothy, "We see so many more old-timey cars than I saw when I was a kid.  It must be a Savannah thing."  Dorothy immediately replied, "There weren't as many old-timey cars back then."

Dorothy and her friend made shared portraits of Taylor Swift (each girl did half of each page)

 

Dorothy's class went to a STEM bootcamp at Hunter Army Airfield all week

 

Hocus Pocus 2 (a stop at Walgreens)

 

When we go to the library, the girls are excited to claim this wall before the middle schoolers do

 

I have wanted Dorothy to wear "Marshpoint plaid" uniforms for 6 years now. She flat-out refuses. We gave Dorothy's unworn too-small jumpers to her friend, who looks super cute, right?
