First Day of School

Hi.  This is my on my first day of school.  I only go in the mornings for a little bit.  I'm in second grade.  Brinda is in first grade; she goes for the whole day.

(Yes, this is the best photo I could get of them.)

Rakhi

Rakhi is a celebration of siblings taking care of each other all year.  And then, what we have on Rakhi day is I feed Neave, Tucker feeds Neave, Neave feeds me, Tucker feeds me, and then I feed Tucker and Neave feeds Tucker.  And when Tucker fed me, I bit into the lemon.  I ate the lemon right up. 

That is Indian food and we ate it.

I feed my siblings bitter stuff (or sour stuff) and sweet stuff.

Neave is giving Tucker his Rakhi day bracelet.  And what happens I should remind you is that when put on the bracelet, you take care of siblings all year, even if you take the bracelet off, you still take care of siblings, all year long.

I'm laughing on the top of my lungs.  I can't believe when my brother fed me lemon I ate it all up.  He is tying it on my wrist very tight and I laugh so much.

Neave you know is my sister.  Bye!

Double-Grandma-ed

I have two quilts on my bed that are made from my grandmas.   The flower one that has leaves and is beautiful is made by a good grandma, Grandma Ellen.  The other one came from Grandma Mary who is my other grandma, and I like how she made hers too. 

It's very hot most of the time, so I wear my nightgown and I only use a sheet.  It will get cooler in the winter, so I will wear most of my grandmas' quilts.  I call that being double-grandmaed, and I like being double-grandmaed in the winter. 

Birthday books

B: For my birthday I got money from Uncle Bob and Uncle Bill, and I bought a witch book.  I love witches; witches are my favorite thing that is scary.  And it's kind of weird that when I'm all alone I think that there's a witch coming to get me.

N: I bought books for my birthday too from Uncle Bob and Uncle Bill.  And it's two books.  One is about a dog, one is about only persons.
