Emma Creek 5K

We all had a great time walking in the Emma Creek 5K this morning. Emma and Isabel hopped in and out of the stroller but actually walked and ran quite a bit of the course, and Abigail slept through it all. 

Shops

Today was "Shops" day in third grade! The kids have been learning about economics through the creation and management of their own "shop". Natalie chose to make monster cookie bars. She sold (for fake money) to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders, teachers, and parents, and she came close to selling out. Fun was had by all!

"I can't imagine"

Chris overheard Emma whispering:  "I can't imagine she's born. I can't imagine she's this cute."

Grandma's Duck

My great-aunt Mary made this duck pillow for my grandma, and Isabel is very excited to be it's new owner.

Pollinator Party

Instead of researching famous Americans like the second grade classes have done in the past, this year's second graders have been studying plants and pollinators. We got to go to the first annual Pollinator Party out in front of the school this afternoon, and it was so cute and fun to watch. They sang songs at the beginning and end, but the main event was the wax museum setup. The kids each had a paper "button" in front of them on the sidewalk, and they gave a speech about their chosen pollinator when their button was pushed. Max's pollinator was the irritator wasp. He did so well and was having so much fun. 

Spring has sprung!
