A mini vacation and another week at school!

Since Mia had 4 days off from school over Easter we packed up and went to the Dallas area.  It was a lovely trip complete with amazing food, LegoLand, Sea Life Aquarium, Grapevine Mills Mall (for my Bama friends - it's much like Opry Mills Mall!), Fort Worth Zoo, Perot Science Museum and a visit to Ben's Uncle and Aunt in Mesquite.

Field Trip Day!!!!!

The entire kindergarten went to Cameron Park Zoo for their field trip.  

Thankfully our class had 7 moms volunteer to chaperon so we only had 2-3 kids each!

In other news - our little bird friends from last spring are back and built a nest while we were in Dallas!!!  

We figured out they are Barn Swallows and Mia named them Theodore and Callie!

Science Fair!

I realized I completely forgot to post about Mia's first time participating in a science fair!  During the Spring Book Fair Woodway hosted Science Spectacular - complete with fun experiments to participate in and a science fair!  There were over a hundred entries between Kindergarten and 4th grade and they were all really cool.

Mia's project was named "Grow Crystals Grow!" and the question was "Do crystals grow better in hot?"  Turns out the answer is no - they don't grow at all.  :-P  She and Ben first tried to grow Tang crystals which didn't work and then we attempted Sweet Tart crystals and they grew pretty well!  Mia received a red ribbon stating "I dared to participate in Woodway's Science Fair" and an Honorable Mention certificate.

March 24th through April 17th!

It's been a crazy busy few weeks around here.  With school, tball, PTA, craft shows and work life has been zooming by at what feels like lightening speed.  Here are the daily pictures to catch us up!

"Twin Day!"  In hopes of preventing anyone from being left out Mia and I invited all her classmates to dress alike for twin day.  Super easy outfit with their class shirt and blue jeans!  It was a fun day!

Mia's first 5k!  She and I participated in the color run at school that raised money 

to provide food for students in need. Mia did a phenomenal job handling having colored dust at her!
