Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Today was the easiest project *ever* for Kid’s Workshop, an herb planter. It took about two minutes to put together – one small strip of glue and one screw. Despite the ease of the project, the kids still had a great time and earned another pin for their aprons. Laura is actually running out of room on her apron and John isn’t too far behind.
Today was Laura’s very *last* Munch and Read in Unit A. I can’t believe she is a few short weeks away from being a Second Grader. Time really flies… I picked up John from preschool and headed off to Ridgeway. I tried to get a good picture of the kids, but the cooperation level was just not there. Not that it mattered because they had a great time. Laura read book after book to John, and John was just excited to be in his classroom. I am going to miss Munch and Read with Laura, but I am looking forward to Munch and Read with John in the fall!
As predicted, the rain and cold rolled in overnight, cancelling the scheduled Gifted Program Spring Picnic. That left us with no dinner plans, so we headed to Cracker Barrel since we could. It was a tasty dinner (love me some Hashbrown Casserole!) and the kids had a great time attempting to play checkers. I am certain neither of them have any idea how to play, but they had fun anyway.
We took advantage of another beautiful night and ate dinner outside. I hear that rain, cold, and possible snow are rolling in tomorrow…
I got John a basketball to play with the neighbor kids. I was a little shocked by the fact that he can actually dribble the ball really well. He also makes the majority of his shots. We just might have a basketball player in our midst…
I opened my purse to get out my office keys when I got to work this morning and found this note from Laura.
Tonight, I gave her a big hug. I thanked her for the great note and told her that it made me smile big on a Monday morning. She said, “Mommy, you always put notes in my lunch that make me smile. I just wanted to do the same for you.” Love that kid!
I was first introduced to Firefly Lemonade Martinis while visiting South Carolina a year ago. That Jill Blume has a way with drinks! Well, I finally have some very nice martini glasses and a cocktail shaker, so it only makes sense that I would make myself one (or three!) of these little loves. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka + Lemonade + Lemon Sorbet + a sprig of Mint = YUMMY!
