Ponds

I just love my Growing Artists!

After our trip to the pond at Green Acres we made this pond life list together:

Then we gathered ideas and inspiration for our ponds:

Outlined with permanent marker:

Colored with Oil Pastels

Then added watercolor.

LOVE them and the artists who made them! : )

Ponds and Trees Field Trip

The children had a wonderful time at Green Acres!! 

We learned a great deal about pond life.

We also learned more about trees and forest animals while on our hike through the woods.

Check out our trip here:

Congratulations Scott!!!

Congratulations to my son, Scott, who ran his first 5K today!

He finished Cincinnati's Flying Pig 5K today, with a huge smile on his face. 

I am really proud of him for running...

and for many, many other reasons!

What a blessing to have such an amazing kid-o in our lives!!!

Scott ran with his running club from school, which included friends...

 and two teachers that he adores:

Mrs. Wolf (his Kindergarten teacher) running in yellow.

and Mrs. Shaw (his current teacher in 4th grade).

He chose to celebrate at Skyline afterwards. 

Way to go, Scott!! We are proud of you!
