Katie had an awesome school field trip on Tuesday. Her class went to the Elm Fork Learning Center at the University of North Texas. They had five different activities that they went to. All the kids had a blast, learned alot and the weather was great....good thing we went before the 09 rainy season. 
Katie has been dying to get a sewing machine. Now this brings up not so good memories for me. See, when I was in high school I had to take a sewing class as an elective. Let me just say that without the help of my mom and grandmother it would have been ugly. But anyway, Katie has had it in her mind that she could make the most wonderful things if she just had a sewing machine. So, for her all "A" report card reward this is what she got......
Today Katie dressed up in total Mexican garb so that she could get extra points for a LEAP project that she is working on. Needless to say....Katie looked great and pulled it off with flair! 
Katie's favorite silly face...the huh? look
On Friday Katie's school had their Mustang Stampede Fundraiser. Basically people would sponser Katie with money for her run around the school. They had 30 minutes to see how many laps they could run around the entire school. The weather was beautiful that morning and Katie had quite the cheering the section. She ran nine laps and had the red face to prove it. I joined in and ran the last lap with her. As usual, I am so very proud of her.
Today was Katie's first day of third grade. I seriously can not believe that she is in the third grade already. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Honderich and she is the best teacher! Katie also has a great class and knows alot of her classmates already. This year's first day outfit came from a little boutique in East Texas. I went shopping with my friends and saw it and thought of Katie right away. I think the outfit is very "Sharpay" from High School Musical. Here are some pictures from this morning.
