Why I love Kindergarten

I love how kindergartener's write. They have learned so much and they love to put their skills to work. Today as I was on the phone, Abby held up a note asking for an OtterPop (a summer staple at our house). Interpreted, this is what the note read, "Can you get my bike down so I can ride my bike in the cul-de-sac?"

About a month ago, we were sitting in Sacrament meeting and Abby decided to play hangman with Jake. She picked the word and Jake went to work figuring it out. As you can see from the pic, she kind of stumped Jake, and the word was "Jake". As I watched the game progress, I couldn't help but snicker at Abby's man she drew. Most people draw a stick figure starting with the head and then move to stick arms, legs, feet, hands, and then the face. Not Abby, She drew, in this order: the head, a freakishly large ear, the other ear, the long hair, the fat body, the massive belly button, then on to the arms and hands. It was hilarious. I know I should have been a better example to my children and told them to put the game away and be more reverent, but it was too stinkin' funny.

ps - I still can't get my scanner to work, so I just took pictures of the masterpieces.
