Kindergarten Field Day!!!!!  

(Yes, she does have shorts on her shirt is just way too big.  

I didn't know what all they would be doing so I didn't tie it back like it usually do.)

Field Day was too cute!  Unfortunately my camera battery died after the first race, but my good friend (and fellow room mom) has promised to share her pictures!  The kiddos ran the same relay a dozen different ways.  It was too cute - they ran with a pool noodle on their head pretending to be a mosquito, ran with several huge inflatable balls (the football was literally the same size as Mia), and even had a squid on their head at one point.

Woodway Morning Announcements

Because of my work on the Grants Committee with PTA Mia got to help with 

announcements at school announcing a couple of the grant winners!

It's hard to believe that Kindergarten is over in about a week and a half.  Graduation is June 6th as is their music program.  I'll take lots of pictures - between dabbing tears, I'm sure!  We have had such a wonderful kindergarten year and definitely look forward to first grade!

Not school related:

TBall has already wrapped up for the season.  You know the saying about first kids get all the pics and second kid ends up with little to none?  Well - ummm... that's the perfect description for second season of Tball.  Oops!  

This season she caught her first ball during a game and made several outs.  Not to mention hitting the ball all the way to outfield.  Mia had fun and wants to continue playing so we are moving on up to Coach Pitch.  The summer season starts next week and will run until right before school starts.  I think she will enjoy the challenge but we shall see.  :)

I can't believe how much she has changed since summer ball last year.  The pictures are just way too cute!

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.

(Day after her first Tball game of the season so she absolutely had to wear her jersey to school!)

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!
