First Day of Kindergarten

Lindsey announced that she was nervous, and not sure about school, but Maddie made her feel welcome and ready for school!

Birthday Girl
It was barbie central at our house today--lindsey wanted an all girl birthday parties where they just played barbies all morning.  They did a barbie fashion show where maddie and grace were MCs...but other than that it was just sweet barbie play time.

oh...and some cake!

Lindsey the Skiing Bear

She got a helmet cover that is a bear, and it helps me spot her on the slopes. This is from ski week--she went down a black diamond following in my tracks (on her own she would have just pointed straight down.) Her favorite run at Kirkwood--the ditch of doom...

Little School Donut Shop Ribbon Cutting

The donut shop is open, and every bit of it was created by the kids with help from their teachers. They built the shop (cut wood, hammered, sanded and painted.) The L you see up close was painted by Lindsey. They baked the donuts, and manned the shop. All the proceeds from donut sales will go to help animals in need (the kids voted on what they should raise money for.) Its the best example of emergent curriculum I've experience from Little School, and Lindsey is sooo excited about it. If you are near Lyon and Sutter on a Friday morning from 9-10 am stop by with 50 cents and you can buy a donut from the cutest little donut bakers around.

Lindsey and Travis

Second kids don't always get to choose their friends--many of them are simply the siblings of the older siblings original friends. We are so lucky that Lindsey and Travis Alt are such good friends. Even though they are both younger siblings, I truly believe Lindsey and Travis would be friends even if Maddie and Wyatt were not. They played so nicely together all weekend in Kirkwood--hardly ever an argument...If two four year olds can share one iPad, they must be close right?

Little School Donut Shop

15 days and counting until the Donut shop opens for business at Little School. Lindsey's class has been really interested in donuts this spring. They have made real donuts, play dough donuts, paper donuts, even visited a real donut shop. The best by far is that they built their very own donut stand to use at school. The kids sawed, hammered, and painted this whole stand (with some teacher supervision of course.) They are going to start selling their homemade donuts at Friday am drop off....why do I feel like we will be big donut customers?
