Hey peeps. It's me Simon. Just wanting to let you all know we are still doing swell. Just haven't taken the time to post anything to the blog. I'm in the middle of my basketball season. I made THREE baskets last night at practice. Go me!!! Molly is still lovin' Daisy Girl Scouts and happens to be selling Girl Scout cookies in January 2010. Let me know if you want to order any. I've got a box of Samoas with my name on them already.
Hope you have a great 2010 and hopefully we'll blog more often this year too. Latuh!!!
Hey Peeps! It's me Simon. Sorry we're so slow with the blogging. We had a GREAT summer. We went to Minnesota to see the Nelson clan in August and now we're almost done with September. (GEEZ!!) Molly started 1st grade (technically) and has started reading books ALL by herself (Mommy is so proud). I'm still keeping it real trying to play as MUCH video games as my Mommy will let me. I get much more time in than I probably should since it helps me stay out of her hair when she's trying to get stuff done :) Lucky me!
I've actually started Kindergarten this year for the most part. I just turned 4 this summer but all of that time watching Molly in Kindergarten last year has given me too much of a head start. So - the preschool books weren't cuttin' it and Mommy had to pull out the Kindergarten curriculum. Mommy is a little worried that I'll get too far ahead so most mornings, school time is only for Molly so I get more time to play! ;)
I hope all my peeps are keeping it real and hope to hang with you soon. If you're ever in the mood to come play some NCAA football on the 360, I'm totally available. Fuh REAL!!! Latuh!
Hey you GUYS!! It's me Molly finally getting to blog. Here's a picture of me in our "Veggie Tale Garden" and we picked our first tomato and lettuce of the season. Our "Bobs" are doing swell but our "Larry's" were planted from seeds so it's taking them longer to get growing. I think we'll have Larry's (finally!) in a couple weeks.
I have "finished" my kindergarten curriculum and I'm about to be in FIRST GRADE! Can you believe it? I will be turning SIX on June 24th. I'm so excited.
Mommy and I have already begun looking at some of my new "curriculum" for next year. I'm going to be reading (with the help of mom) lots of new literature. We already read "James and the Giant Peach" and we watched the movie last night for Family Movie Night. I can't decide if I like the book's story or the movie's story (line) better. Our next book we are reading is The Trumpet of the Swan (or maybe The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler will be first - we'll see). I'm just glad that we're taking a few weeks off of the phonics and math. I learned how to add and subtract (up to 7) and I can read beginning reader books, but that's pretty tough work. I'm excited for summer. We are playing T-Ball in the month of June. Doing some field trips in July and in August we are going to Minnesota! I don't like the heat of summer, but I do LOVE to swim so it all works out. Hopefully I'll blog a bit sooner next time! Have a good one!
Hello Everyone! Kisses to all my friends out there in internet land. It's me Molly. I thought I'd post a picture of me and Simon in our Easter best (for 2009). Simon wasn't too keen on the shirt and tie being buttoned on his neck so he opted for the tie on the second button look. He's so Simon. Oh well. I looked marvelous as always in pink. Since I wear Easter dresses everyday, I actually didn't stand out very much. Everyone always looks at me quizically if I have on a shirt and pants/shorts. That's when I look out of place. I'm a girly girl, what can I say?
I hope you all had a great Easter. We did!
Hey Peeps! It's me Simon. Like the pic of me noshin' on a totally Strawberry Vanilla Lollipop?! I had myself a totally tubular Christmas, dude! Hope you did too. I got so many Hot Wheels toys that I could start my own museum. Come on down and I'll let you in for free, man!
Mommy got me a new "curriculum" for my school last week. She says I'm starting to work on Kindergarten stuff. I'm still 3. Geez, mom!
Otherwise, you can catch me playing my Nintendo DS trying to save Princess Peach in Super Mario Brothers. OR, Molly and I are trying to save the world and/or universe in Lego Batman (XBox 360). I'm a video game junkie and already need therapy, but that's cool with me. It's driving my grandmother batty, but we'll just blame it all on mom, right???
See you on the flip side. Over and OUT!!!
Hey everybody! It's me Molly. This is one of my favorite dresses because I get to wear my beret. I often tell people when I walk in the door (with this dress on). Hi. I'm wearing my beret. It's french. I'm not french though. I'm an American.
So I got lots of toys for Christmas (mainly Barbie Peek A Boos and a Barbie Cafe - oh and an "Our Generation" doll). Oh and one of the first orders of business for 2009 was that I (and my family) went to Disney World. We have season passes that are about to run out so we did a one day trip to see Hollywood Studios. I have to say that Magic Kingdom is a lot more fun but we still enjoyed it in spite of the lack of rides.
MorMor is coming on Saturday. I'm so egg-cited!!! Welp, I'm off. Ta Ta For Now!! Love, Me...Molly
Dude. So mommy made me and Molly get all dressed up (I even had a tie on!). I was a little annoyed at first, man, but then she whipped out these fantastically large Strawberry Vanilla Swirly Pops. I thought that was totally cool, dude. If she's going to make me dress up in the penguin suit and take pictures, the least she could do was hook me up with some shugah!!! Pretty sneaky, mom!!!
Molly was running through the house and tripped and fell and hers went crashing to the floor in a million little pieces. That was kinda fun to watch too. I'm totally excited for Christmas, peeps! Only 21 days left!!!! Woohoo!! Later!! (Simon)
Hey Peeps! It's me Molly. I have a story for YOU! Simon Elliott (my little bro) thinks he's too cool. He tried to help mommy fill the van with gas on Tuesday and was able to yank the nozzle out of the car with gas still spewing out of it. He's such a twerp. I'm a little tired of his "No ME! I will do it all by MYSELF!" attitude. He's such a 3 year old. Geesh!
Mommy got most of the gasoline (smell) out of their clothes but she wasn't all that impressed with Simon this week.
As for me, I've been learning my phonics and letters and a few sight words and can read a simple sentence if I put my mind to it. (Kinda bizarre that I can type full paragraphs and coherent blogs, huh?) Math is MUCH easier for me. I was learning how to subtract from 3 and 4 this week. I was practicing my dance steps (for dance class) last night too. I'm learning as much as I can every day! Later!
Hey Peeps! It's Molly and Si. We are totally psyched for Gator season. We're HUGE Tim Tebow fans. In fact, we are homeschooled JUST LIKE TEBOW was!!! Tim Tebow and his fam helped pave the way for us to be able to play extracurricular sports such as football and cheerleading without having to spend 8 hours in a school building. We know that we're still barely doing kindergarten curriculum, but it only takes us 30 minutes to an hour to do what it takes 3-5 hours for traditional school/classrooms. We spend the rest of the time enjoying life and avoiding the long lines and traffic. We went to the Cummer Art Museum this summer. We like the kids area but the "temprorary" exhibit of the "Sketch to Scalpel" series was a little bit much for us. Our friends came with us and our friend Vivien was quite unimpressed with the exhibits/sculptures of the insides of the body. She helped us find the exit to that wing VERY quickly :) The kids area had a neat contraption that helped us learn how to mix primary colors to come up with totally new colors. Did you know that yellow and blue make green? So cool!!
