Cheap Skate Mama

I will admit it any day that I am a cheap skate. I have issues with school sponsored door to door sales of really expensive cookie dough and anything else that is a "fundraiser". I'd rather just write a check to the school, but I never have done that either. I also have issues with school pictures! They are so expensive and I don't know enough people to use all 113 wallet size pictures, or 25, 8x10's to be willing to spend $157.99 on pictures. If my kids take after me, they will not even look good in those pictures. My hair was never right and my smile was off.

So, when picture day came this year-I had my girls do a mini photo shoot here at home. They were so very cute as they were posing for my mum.

Ki-my Brown eyed girl

El-my blue eyed girl

I hope that they will always get along

I am not holding my breath-I'll turn blue

Ki is a fun loving 3rd grader

El is a loving Kindergartner

I feel pretty lucky to have such great girls. They are very helpful with brother and they are both hard working students. Ki loves to read and is doing great with piano she is learning to play the hymn "Do What is Right"-and that is just what she does.

El is just loving school and comes home pretty tired. She is starting to read and it is very fun to see her making progress.
