Kindergarten bound!

Cal got into our first choice school for next year! Although it is a public school, we had to apply in a lottery to get in. Unfortunately, it is a full-day Kindergarten and the city makes us pay for "full-day K". But the payment will only apply for one year.

Here is the school's philosophy:

Students are encouraged to be independent thinkers, learners and problem solvers. Our students develop and demonstrate the ability to create questions, formulate solutions and apply results throughout their lives.

Added bonus. It's less than a mile from our home!

Free Cone Day!

Our must attend spring time event! The hail even stopped for us to enjoy our ice cream in relatively sunny (albeit cold) weather!

Lissi loved her some ice cream!
Cal did too, he just didn't want to pose in the "traditional" smile.

We only went through the line twice. :) And yes. Ice cream was the kids' dinner!

Celebrating Earth Day

My school had an Earth Day festival. Unfortunately, we showed up with only 20 minutes left in the festivities. They did make some cool newspaper hats though!

We've had a few glorious spring weather days

We had to take advantage of them before the rain and hail (and snow!) returned!
Here are some of the tulips in front of our home. They were gorgeous this year.

Cal's creative genious

He's creating new games. I call this "the Coke game". LOL!
And exploring his photography skills.
