5 Things Friday- 4/29/2016
- I have spent 3 afternoons at school this week. Monday and Tuesday, Matt and I both attended Field Day. Today, I went at lunch to watch Kendall’s presentation at the wax museum on Pocahontas .
- After planting ALOT of seeds last week in the garden, we were all EXCITED to discover that we have corn and beans both growing along with some cherry tomatoes and jalapeno peppers!
- Zach has a soccer game tomorrow at noon. This is his next to last game. I hope he continues to enjoy soccer. I am almost certain he will want to play again in the fall.
- On Sunday, both Lily and Kendall will participate in the final cheerleading competition of the season. The sad news is that the weather is suppose to be wet and the competition is held at a theme park. We have already purchased tickets so I am praying for a couple of hours of sunshine on Sunday.
- I was able to cash out for a $25 gift card this week with Swagbucks. I currently am think I will hold on to this and use to book our next Disney trip. This is one of the few ways I can find money!
Lily’s Art
Several weeks ago, Lily mention one evening that her art was chosen for use at a “art show”. She also said, “I have a paper about it.” I was interested but assumed it was a school thing where they try to get you to “buy” your child’s framed art work. Typically price is around $30 each. We have discussed this in the past so Lily already knew we would not be purchasing. Several days later, she brought me this.
Not at all what I expected, so we made plans to attend the reception. Lily also found out that she was one of two students chosen from her school for this. Tonight, Matt and Zach went with Lily to the reception. Kendall and I were at cheerleading. They found out that Lily was not only one of two chosen from her elementary school but one of 6 elementary school students chosen overall. Her picture will be on display for the next year at the “Civic Center.” The title of her picture was “Glitter soup.”
It is the top picture. She also received a very nice certificate.
So this is not at all what I expected but I am very proud of her.
Wordless Wednesday- Playing in the Sand
Fun Friday-Picture overload
As the weather was still chilly and windy, we found several way to fill the time. First stop the aquarium.
Then we enjoyed lunch at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville.
Finally the girls went to Build a Bear, while Zach found the ride shop to build his own car.

5 Things Friday
- This week turned out to be extremely busy! I had planned to post at least twice during the week and as you can tell that did not happen. I even have pictures loaded of our spring flowers. The weather is rather screwy right now. We are expecting a hard freeze this weekend and then hopefully on to Summer.
- Zach was “Owl Star” in his class this week. He got to take the owl to a lot of different places. This is a privilege which also included extra homework. Zach wrote 3 journal entries about their adventures and complete 3 questions each day for show and tell. My favorite picture of the week is soccer practice.
3. Lily has been preparing all week for the “Story Telling Festival” at her school. She and her friend presented the book 22 times today. The really cool fact is that I participated in the very first “Story Telling Festival” at the Elementary School.
4. Lily is also “Star Titan” this achievement is awarded each month to one student per class. I am very proud to say that all three of the little kids have now been selected this year.
5. As part of being student of the week, Zach filled out a list of questions. His answer to “what makes you special?”— I have 4 sisters
“Who is your hero”– Jesus.

Lily and Kendall Mime Team
Both Lily and Kendall have been working since Christmas as part of the mime team at church. The other girls are in middle school, so I am extremely proud of both Lily and Kendall for learning the song. This performance was part of a “Youth Lead Worship Night.” Here is the link if you do not see the video below, Mime team
