Science Fair Winners

This year both girls wanted to do a Science Fair project.  They looked through the books and found projects that seemed interesting but not too complicated.  Nina won 1st place and Best of Show for 4th Grade Physical Science for her project.  She got to take her project to the St. Clair County Science Fair.  At that Science Fair she got a 2nd Place Ribbon.  She did awesome and we are so proud of her!

Although in 2nd Grade Science Fair projects aren't judged to compete in the St. Clair County Science Fair, our District gave the projects points similar to how they would the 4-8 graders.  Gini came home with a 1st place ribbon too!!  The Girls are already planning their projects for next year.  I think we will start in the summer this time!!

Thanksgiving and Washington DC

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to head east to visit with some good friends in Washington DC.  We had so much fun catching up with The Pankratz Family.  We also enjoyed seeing some of the fun historic sites around the City.  One day we went to Mt Vernon the home of George Washington....the battery in my camera died so I don't have photos from that day:(  We helped prepare and eat a yummy Thanksgiving dinner.  We also visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.  The kids enjoyed looking around and playing in the kids area.  Finally we took one day to walk around and visit all of the Monuments.  We had such a good time visiting and site seeing.  The kids are amazing car travelers it makes it fun to take them on vacations!!

Veterans Day 2011

Every year the City has an Essay and Poster contest to honor Veterans.  This year Gini won the Essay contest.  She got to read her Essay at the School Veterans Day Assembly.  She also won a Savings Bond and got to read her Essay for the City Wide Veterans Day Program on Veterans Day.  She did and amazing job writing and reading her Essay!!  She was also a Classroom winner for her Poster this year.  Way to Go Gini!!

Trey's 4th Birthday

Trey loves Spiderman, Batman, Power Rangers and pretty much any action figures most little boys love.  This year for his Birthday we had some friends and family over for dinner and a bonfire.  We have done some camping this past summer and he love smores.
