Come January, we are all really sick of Winter and being cooped up. This particular Saturday, the weather was fairly good so we bundled up and decided to walk up to the Library. I love how Claire made sure she had her hat and glasses for the walk.
This picture of Lilly breaks my heart. I know before this happened, I got really mad at her. Probably over something dumb like not practicing her piano. She is such a sweet little girl, and is such a good person. I need to remember that more often. Sometimes I get so focused on the things she needs to improve, and I forget to focus on the things she is remarkable at.
Getting ready for Hawaii!
Lilly has really wanted to start cooking. This particular day, she wanted to make a dessert and I really didn't want to since it was just another mess to clean up and because we are trying to be better about having sweets around. Anyway, she decided to roast marshmallows over the stove and drizzle them with melted chocolate. Well done Lilly bug!
Claire has lots of friends at school. Most of them happen to be boys. Her little friend Beckham gave her this cute stuffed animal. I thought that was so cute, and so funny! They also talk on the phone from time to time.
Lilly's class had book reports due on Historical figures. Lilly chose to do hers on Sitting Bull. They had to read a book on their person, and then they did a time line and a poster with all their information. The teacher invited parents and other classes to come and view their reports. When you got there each student had an iPad and headphones, and you would hold the iPad up to the picture of the student and then the screen would become interactive and it would be a recording of the student telling about their person. It was filmed in front of a green screen, so it looked like Lilly was standing in a field with buffalo. It was SO amazing and SO well done! Parents were blown away. It's amazing the technology the kids have in their classrooms. I love it. It makes learning so fun for them.
