Early March 2018

Last week, my lifelong friend Lori and I took a weekend trip to celebrate our 40ths!  Our only wish was to relax and catch up in some warm sunshine - so we headed down to Pompano Beach!  It was such a great couple of days.  We got to wake up to beautiful sunshine each day and read books, sip coffee and just chat!  We went out for a few delicious dinners, too, and just enjoyed not having to stick to any schedule.  We decided it was so wonderful and easy (thanks to our husbands kindly holding down the forts at home!) that we might just do it again sometime!

Tyler and his junior kindergarten classmates took a trip over to the church with their junior high buddies to sing a church song in front of the rest of the school!  It was so cute to see their smiling, shy faces up on the altar.

Also this past week, Cassie's class created a "living wax museum."  As part of their history studies, they were required to select a person in history and research that person's life and contributions.  Then they were to dress up in character and pose as a wax figure, while parents and other school students could come around, tap the button next to them, and they would repeat their memorized lines to describe their person, as if in a museum.  It was creative and fun!  Cassie chose Eliza Hamilton, since she enjoyed the Hamilton play so much and has enjoyed getting to know that part of history.  All the 5th graders did a great job!
