Awards Day

Today was the first monthly awards day at Morrilton Primary School. We are so proud of Stephen for getting the Citizenship award for his class as well as receiving an award for Good Behavior in the cafeteria. There were only a few of those given in the whole school. His class also won the cleanest classroom award and the music class award, and they each received a pencil for collecting the most bags in the recycling program. Way to go Stephen!!!!!! 

Fair Time

Stephen's class visited the fair Friday to see the exhibits and the animals. They had a good time. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will get to go to the fair for the rides this year. Both kids will be disappointed but maybe we can make it up to them.

 

Cousins

Skylar and JD are like two peas in a pod. They truly don't know what to do when they don't see each other for a few days. I am grateful they are close and hope they remain that way for life. 

Nature Photography

I had a great revelation today - it is much easier to get inanimate objects to sit still to have their picture taken than it is to get my kids to sit still. This actually gave me a chance to practice with different settings on my camera and even the spider didn't run to me after each click of the shutter wanting to see the resulting picture.

Anyway these are just a few things I found in the back yard today.

 

A Formal Affair

I bet you didn't realize that watching cartoons required formal attire. Skylar suckered her daddy into buying her this Barbie princess dress yesterday. She insisted on wearing it today to watch tv.
