Brooke's Summer

Brooke was very excited for it to finally be summer and not have to go to school.  She did swim lessons for her 5th year and she is getting really good!

She also participated in a 2 week long art camp with her friend Lucy.  They did ceramics, cooking, music, dancing, a play, all sorts of things.  She had a blast!  A funny story about camp... Brooke and Lucy told everyone on the first day that they were twin sisters (they have the same hair color and skin coloring so I can see how people would believe it).  At the end of the week Lucy's mom went to pick her up early one day and when she was leaving the teacher said "bye you little stinker".  So Leslie had to ask why she was being called a stinker.  The teacher then told her about them being twins and that she had to write their names on a project that day so she realized that they had different last names and was so confused.  She asked the girls about it and they burst out laughing.  They had fooled everyone for an entire week.

She got really good at riding her bike and we had to get her a bigger one so she could ride further. She loves to play babies and has lots and lots of friends in our neighborhood.  We always have a friend (or two or three) at our house.  She is not shy at all.

Since we don't do sleepovers we late her have a late night with her friends.  They had so much fun. We had a movie and treats but they were more interested in playing and running around.  She had a hard time deciding which friends to invite because I told her she had to limit it to 5.  She still wants to do another one with more friends.  Where or where did I get such a social child :)

She is very picky about her clothes.  We took her school shopping and she had to try everything on and didn't like anything my mom or I picked out.  I have a little diva on my hands!

She is not looking forward to going back to school, but I sure am!  I love her lots and lots but she is hard to entertain all day everyday and not get into trouble.  I have a feeling we will love each other more when we aren't together all day everyday.
