It really is VERY difficult to get a decent pic of Kara ~ she either pulls faces, runs away or tries too hard to smile. Most attempts at getting a decent shot end up with both of us laughing because she gets the giggles lol.
My little girl is growing up so fast. It's scary. A few mornings ago, we were lying in bed watching tv and she, out of nowhere, told me "when I draw spiders, I only draw the cephalothorax. I don't draw the abdomen ~ it doesn't have legs". She then said that her favourite spider is a Trap Door and that she wished she knew how it made it's door. I suggested it must use its web but apparently "I'm not sure if they have silk glands or spinnerets to make webs". I looked at her in amazement and she was looking back with a massive smile, knowing she had impressed me lol.
It's not just her knowledge of spiders that impresses me... she just absorbs everything. She's 6 years old and can read just about anything now. Her maths skills blow me away ~ addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, fractions.... she's just so clever. I'm so proud of her.
Apart from admiring Kara lol, life has been busy. Very busy. We have so much going on at the moment and it's only going to get more intense in the coming months. There have been periods of weeks when I've not been on the computer and for me, that's unheard of lol. I'm just looking forward to some down time over the school holidays and trying to get through some tough times without getting too bogged down.
I hope that you all are well and I look forward to catching up on blog land over the next few days.
