More "Boo Bags"

4-day weekend ahead

Then Dorothy put those bracelets in a "Boo Bag," dropped it at a friend's house, rang the doorbell, and ran.

Dorothy watched online videos and made some complex rubberband bracelets

The Sunday Funnies

We were discussing the cake for Dorothy's ocean-themed birthday party.  "I think we should buy a cake from a store," Dorothy said, "so you won't have to make a mermaid out of fondue."

Dorothy was completing her math homework.  The problem read:  "Sally's twin brother, Sean, has 348 fiction books and 109 nonfiction books.  If Sean has read 300 books, how many books has Sean not read?"  Dorothy complained, "Why do they have to say Sally's twin brother, Sean?  That has nothing to do with the problem.  They could just say Sean has 348 fiction books..."

The theme was oceans & mermaids.

Dorothy decorated the red velvet cake.

The Sunday Funny

Traffic was harried on the way home from school.  "I've heard three horns.  I hope they're not beeping at me," I said.  "Maybe they're honking at you because you only have one hand on the wheel," Dorothy offered.

Birthday recap

 

Dorothy woke up early,

read her annual poem by Grandma,

& tested her first present (a remote-control car).

Her cupcakes for school looked awesome.

All the kids at school wore polka dots for "Dot Day" which happens to be on Sept. 15 every year.

After school we headed to Tybee Island for ice cream,

sand and waves,

grilled cheese at Five Guys for dinner,

and a fun time opening all those presents!
