A special birthday, a field trip, and a new bed…

"I know more than you."
-Isla

Mommy’s birthday was this week and she spent it by playing with Isla all day long and then taking Ashlyn and Isla to gymnastics in the evening.  Yay!  We did find time after karate and gym to open presents and enjoy a home cooked meal that she didn’t have to make.  Happy birthday Mommy!

Ashlyn is growing up.  Five years ago this month we built her bed with Pepa’s help, but it was time for her to pick her own furniture.  She now has a new bed to sleep in and a new desk for reading, art, and homework.  Next up is painting the walls.  Bye bye pink.

All the Meadowcreek Kindergarten classes took a trip to Bedford Boys Ranch this week.  This involved an entire kindergarten class walking over two miles with a group of exasperated teachers and parent chaperones in tow.  This was made even more fun for Mommy, who had to pull Isla around in a wagon the entire time.  It was worth the effort, for the kids at least.  They had a lot of fun playing at the park and drawing pictures of nature as part of an assignment.
