The Kindergarten Genius!

So, as you saw from Saturday's post, we had our favorite five year old Olivia here with us over the weekend. While we were making pretzels, Olivia was wowing us with her intellect. She was very proud of the fact that she could skip count. Now, as teachers we were very excited to see all that she had been learning in Kindergarten. We figured we would definitely hear her count by fives, or even twos. Well, one should not assume those things as you can see in the video below. I guess she was right - she certainly was skipping numbers in her counting!

Today is a fabulous day as it is parent conference day. That meant that we went in to work for a few hours and got to leave early. We also got to go in jeans and a sweatshirt because I have no conferences with my position, and MJ got all of hers done last week. We both got some work done, and then went out to lunch and we mangaged to be home about 2 1/2 hours earlier than a normal day. The best part is that we have tomorrow off too because of Veteran's Day! The plan is to tackle some scrapbooking tonight and the leaves in the yard tomorrow!
