Fun Run - April 30, 2010






The fifth grade classes at Wright Mill Road present a 'wax museum' each year. The museum is filled with famous Americans; including such greats as Larry Bird, Elvis Presley, Shirley Temple, Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, George Washinton, and Benjamin Frankiln.
We were particularly impressed with this Benjamin Franklin, as were his teachers.

Happy Third Birthday!

First, a promise. I will try very hard to do better with these posts! Michael got me a new digital camera, which I am loving! So now I'll have pictures to share again.
My first subject was Andrew's and Edmund's birthday. This was especially fun for them because they have learned all about birthdays as they have watched their brothers' and sister's recent birthdays. One of the favorite 'games' is birthday. They sing Happy Birthday, blow out the candles and eat cake.
Their faces lit up with joy when we woke them on their birthday morning by sing "Happy Birthday to You," and they realized it actually was their birthday. Just a few pictures of the birthday fun:
Cake-German Chocolate. Mom's choice, it's been years since I had German chocolate cake with coconut-pecan frosting.
Edmund
Heavy, Heavy Hangs. Andrew and Edmund were jumping up and down with excitement.
Andrew
It was nice to give them a happy, special day.
