Easter preparation and getting all the stuff ready for the Easter Bunny visit! Been a busy day! Thanks Jenna and Brent for playing Easter Bunny!
Day Before Easter
Who Needs Toys?
Apparently, John does *not* need toys……
Just give the boy a box!
Official Notification!
We got official notification of Laura’s acceptance to Ridgeway Elementary School today. Andy and I have a meeting on May 3 for orientation and then Laura gets to visit a classroom for “choice time” on May 9 or 11. Choice time is when the kids get 30 minutes to do what they want whether that is play, read, etc.
Budding Photographer
Laura has decided that she likes to take pictures with our camera. It’s big for her hands, but she certainly enjoys it. She decided she wanted to take a picture of her Cinderella dress.
Attempt #1:
Attempt #2:
Finally, I had to take her picture WITH the Cinderella dress:
Kindergarten
We found out today that Laura’s lottery application for Ridgeway Elementary School was successful! Ridgeway is one of three magnet elementary schools in Columbia Public School. The curriculum centers around Individually Guided Education (IGE) for each child. We are very excited because this was our first choice. We know people that have children who attended Ridgeway and we have heard nothing but good things! Since Laura will be going there, John will also be allowed to attend without going through the lottery process. We couldn’t be happier!
Walking
Today, I walked a total of 4 miles. First, I walked two miles on a nearby trail this afternoon after work. Tonight, I walked another two miles with my neighbor while pushing John in the stroller. I think I’m going to be tired tomorrow!
The Camper
The Camper, Andy, and Tamara returned to Columbia about 6 pm this evening. It’s bigger than I thought it would be. I’m looking forward to being able to use it a couple of times a summer! Andy and Tamara drove 34+ hours all the way to Dover, Delaware to pick it up!
