| On January 29th, Joshua got to participate in the county wide 4-6th grade spelling bee. It was held at COS. He looked so handsome and even though he was nervous, did his very best and we were very proud of him. |

| The fifth grade gets to go to an outdoor school/camp in May. They earn money by selling tickets to a lasagna dinner in early February. Between the tickets sold prior to the dinner and at the door, as well as desserts sold and auctioned off, they made the $5,800 that they needed to go ot the camp. Joshua worked so hard!! He was great during the dinner serving, etc., but I was even more impressed come 6:30 p.m. when it was clean up time (and he hadn't been home since 7:40 that morning when he caught the bus) and he was still going strong helping clear tables, fold up and put away tables and chairs, and doing whatever he could to help out. |

| One of the most exciting things about 1st grade - making rockets!! Nathaniel made the coolest & tallest rocket - it ROCKED!! He used water bottles, Lifewater bottles, a Powerade bottle (can you tell we'd had someone sick earlier in the week), Dad's Nexium bottles and Mom's potassium bottles (thank goodness for our prescriptions, right?) plus a cone for the top. He had drawn a plan of it beforehand and colored each section how he wanted it painted and the teacher later spray painted it for him. |

| Tuesday morning, right before we were getting ready to head to Etna so I could help in Joshua's science lab this is what greeted me - Miss Grace in her baby stroller (her Christmas present from great-grandma Donna) - she looked so cute...then it was time to get out and she was STUCK!! I told her she might have to wait until Daddy got home so he could get her out - that wasn't an idea that she thought was very good. She told me I'd just have to try and get her out...well, we did manage to get her out and she has decided that maybe that isn't the best place for her to sit and she'd leave it for Maggie (her favorite baby doll) and others. |

| Snow White - complete with tiara. I can't remember what inspired her to but on her Snow White costume the other day - maybe she'd been watching Sofia the First again. Anyway, she curtsied and was quite regal for awhile. |

Cute stuff! Way to go Joshua! (I have been there and no how nerve-wracking it is;)) And Nathaniel, that is a fabulous rocket! I don't think Geddy gets to do that in 1st grade here! We just might have to do one on our own at home. And Little Miss Princess Grace...thank goodness Mommy got you out of your baby stroller! Love you all!
