We haven't had proper rain in Austin for weeks, so naturally it poured the day of the Shield Parade at school.
You'll remember last year the whole school paraded around the outside of the school... well, this year it had to be moved to the tight hallways inside and the MPR. It was a bit of a squeeze... but still a great morning.
I wasn't able to get as many photos... but here's Lady Havana with her second school shield.
And with her first grade teacher, Miss Brown.
Over the summer Havi was lucky enough to have Auntie Dan read her a few classic Roald Dahl. They read Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator and The BFG.
Now Dan doesn't just read them... she brings them to life. Each character has a different voice and accent. I found myself intently listening too.
Once they'd finished Willy Wonka we watched the movie (the original of course) on family movie night. Once they'd finished The BFG we tracked down a copy of the film on Amazon and shipped it just in time to watch with Dan the night before the end of her summer stay.
Now Havi's decision is what to read next...
