Field Trip Day

Maddie's class has been learning the lifecycle of salmon. In the science lab, they watched salmon eggs hatch and grow. Today, the classes took the salmon to a creek at a hatchery and let them go.
(Quite honestly, the highlight of the trip was Maddie and I's first yellow public school bus trip.)

Works For Me Wednesday

This works for me!
A friend of mine introduced us to Crayola bathtub crayons. We use them to practice spelling and sight words in the kid's tub. Ben and I write messages and lists to each other in our shower. They are easy to clean and fun! I found them in the bubble bath aisle at our local Wal-Mart.
Check out Rocks In My Dryer for more great tips!

Birthday Day

Happy Birthday Maddie!

Just after midnight last night, our little yellow-haired girl turned six. Four seems to be in the distant past now and it will be two long months before five is in our house again.

School Party

Maddie celebrated with her class.

PS - I would love to post how hilarious the entire class looked in Chicken Little glasses, but they are not my children to post online.
