Hollymead Spring Fun Fair
Bethany was the 'bingo caller' at one of the game stations. The girls helped call out numbers...notably, Joni insisted on wearing her new, not-so-summery penguin hat despite the 79 degree weather! She said after the fair that she was a bit disappointed that more people hadn't mentioned how much they liked the hat.
UMS International Lunch
This is one of our favorite school community events. Kids sing songs from all around the world in different
languages. Joni (in the red & black
Spanish dress, far left in group picture) was SO excited!

Tough lessons
Turns out Haven has been buying cookies, chips & ice cream at her
school cafeteria a few days a week for the past few months without our
permission. Getting ‘caught’ has
resulted in some big learning experiences for her as she now has to do extra
chores to 'pay us back'.
Our own secret society
The girls have started a club that meets in the Dora tent
(now known as the Yellow clubhouse). The
members (mainly the neighborhood kids and babysitters) have a special handshake,
and leave each other regular notes that are both urgent and wonderfully
polite...

Brian's early birthday gift to Joni
When you think about how to decorate an (almost) 5 year old girls' room, naturally you think about images of horror as a hero is trapped in frozen carbonite. After all, what child wouldn't have sweet dreams with this rug beside her...
And yes, Joni absolutely loves it!

Music, music everywhere
The songs form Frozen continue to be performed daily (make that hourly) in our household!
This clip showcases Joni's composition skills (the song is an original) & explains why she is so skinny!
