I made pasta with meatballs for dinner last night and Andrew and kids gobbled up so fast. The next day I packed the leftover for kids lunch and Chloe came home with this note. pastagirl

She called herself “pasta girl” and sang a song about the meatballs. How awesome is she! Love you too Pasta girl!!

Chloe went to a Girl Scout sewing and fashion camp this week and today all the girls wore their own designs and walk the “runway”. The teacher introduced Chloe as very creative, very soft spoken at first but who came out of her shell when she began to explain her thought process about her designs. Chloe called her top ice concept matching with her butterfly high and low skirt.

This one by far was the best experience here. I got goose bumps when I walked in to a little secluded path and saw life size Claude Monet sculpture . I felt as though I became part of the history and sneaked a peek in his time. 

“Also on view during Seward Johnson: The Retrospective are works from his Beyond the Frame series. An homage to the Impressionist painters, Beyond the Frame works transform well-known paintings such as Claude Monet’s Garden at Sainte-Addresse and Edouard Manet’s Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe into life-sized three-dimensional tableaux. ”

Shane's report

Not only he’s a great little artist, he’s doing so well academically. I was really impressed to see his test scores at school and to hear his developments from his teacher! He scored 94 on his state achievement test. He’s been reading so well too. 🙂 So proud of you, my Shane!!

To mrs king

Chloe made a beautiful card to her teacher. She had a great year and we’re so proud of her for doing so well at school. Is it weird that I also feel like I accomplished 1st grade too?
