Emma Reads

As a follow up to the last post about Maggie and her amazing vocabulary, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to brag a little bit about Emma. Here she is reading Rene Descartes and his Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy. Just a little light reading in her spare time.

Actually, this was Sarah having a little fun with Emma and the digital camera. She had Emma in all sorts of different poses, and she took about 30 or so pictures.

Maggie is 'Exasperated'

Saturday afternoon, and Bridget is sitting on the sofa with Maggie looking at the book pictured here. On one of the pages, there are pictures which tell a story, and then there are two faces pictured, one happy and one sad. Depending on the picture, the idea is to circle whether the person is happy or sad. On one particular page the picture is a little boy and his tricycle. One of the wheels fell off the trike, and so Bridget asked Maggie how the little boy was feeling. Maggie looked at the picture, and without missing a beat said "He's EXASPERATED." I was in the kitchen, and thought I mis-heard her, so I waited. Bridget must have been thinking the same thing, because she asked again "How is he feeling?" and Maggie said 'exasperated'. Bridget then said you're right Maggie, he is exasperated, so would that mean he's happy or sad? Of course at that point, it didn't matter whether Maggie got it right or wrong, she already knew what the correct word was in that situation.

Not bragging or anything, but I think Maggie (as well as our other children) is pretty darn smart. In twenty years or so, don't be surprised if you're reading some great literary novel by Maggie Mogee.

(She did pick sad by the way.)

Sarah the mime, and the pink poodle twins! This was a great Halloween. Please leave me a comment, and let me know how your's was.

Pink Poodle Puppies!

Emma made the announcement that she wanted to be a pink poodle puppy about three weeks before Halloween. Not sure where we were going to get a pink poodle costume; Bridget was able to find one at Old Navy. The problem was that there was only one. Thankfully Pop-Pop was able to find another one in The Gallery. By the way, can you tell who the show-off is?

Happy Halloween!

Here are Emma and Maggie at their Halloween parade in school on Wednesday. Be sure to check out the videos of them singing.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Sarah's First Day of School 2007

 Here is Sarah on her first day of school, 2007. I can't believe I am writing this, but she is in 6th grade now. Bridget and I are so proud of the young lady that she has become.

Maggie Screams!

 

Just in case you forgot what a joy Maggie was as an infant, here is a video to remind us all.

Emma and Maggie

Here are Maggie and Emma on their first day of school. They are in pre-school four days a week. They love their teacher, Mrs Sikes. So far their favorite thing to do is play outside on the playground. Let's hope that they're actually learning something when they're not on the playground.

I'll post pictures of Sarah's first day in a little bit.

Maggie and Emma's First Day of School

It's that time again. A little later than anticipated, but Emma and Maggie are finally back in school. This is their second year in pre-school, and they are going four days a week for about two and a half hours per day.

I didn't get to see them off on their first day because I was playing in the 8th annual Frank Mogee Golf Outing, but Bridget did take pictures, and I'll be posting them soon.

When I finally got home from golf, Maggie and Emma told me all about their day. They love their new teachers, and made lots of new friends. The best part about their first day was playing outside. Not a big surprise there.

Of course the first day didn't go by without a little bit of trouble; Emma had a fever last night of about 102, so it seems like the first day really took a lot out of her. I'm sure she'll be fine, and back in school on Wednesday, but I'll post again to let you know for sure.

Check back a little later for some pictures. Talk to you all soon.

Family Vacation

We got back from Sea Isle City, NJ a few weeks ago, and the trip was great. The weather was perfect, and the water was beautiful. We spent many days on the beach, we took Sarah to the water park in Wildwood, and I even got to golf a few rounds (I should have saved my money, but that's for another post.). I'll see about posting some pictures of the trip soon.

(About posting pictures, etc. I'm in the process of changing my domain hosting from one registrar to another, and once I do, I might put up a separate site, in addition to this blog. If for some reason you visit this site through http://www.mogee.net, be sure to check bookmark http://kevinmogee.blogspot.com/, or http://blog.mogee.net in case mogee.net goes down during the transition.)
