School Board Meeting



Last Tuesday we were invited to a District 44 school board meeting so Ben could receive his special recognition for doing so well in the science fair. As you can see from his face in these pictures, he was thrilled to be there!!! Oh well-- I'm a proud mom nevertheless. He has already warned me however that I'd better not try to make him do it again next year OR ELSE!

New Trees


On Good Friday, we spent the day planting trees in our backyard. The kids each got a shovel and helped dig the holes and fill them back in. The reason I decided to add this picture is because the kids went all day-- ALL day long with no arguing or fighting. Unbelievable!!!
