Children

Pretty sure I'm attending my last 3 May Crownings given the pending move to public schools. It's a beautiful ceremony. The girls process in behind their teachers, each carrying a single flower of some sort. Following is the girl voted by eachc class(room) as most like Mary, who is wearing a light blue sash, then finally the crown bearer and crowner. The Preschool will be done in t he chapel in the white dress uniforms. I'm really going to miss this.

And I missed her terribly.

We went to the school fun run this morning. i ran the 5k, the older girls did the 1/2 mile, D didn't feel good so dh held her. M was the second fastest kindy, and fininshed 9th overall. Reagan was awhile back. Not to happy I'm sure to get beat by her little sister! They don't understand that everyone has different things they're good at. Reagan wasn't happy for Maryn that she did well on her school work because Reagan had missed a few items. When I was congratulating Maryn she was pouting and ...

Devlyn is so streetwise. During December, I was correcting her (I think for climbing and jumping off the furniture) and I warned her that the elf on the shelf was watching her and she looked at me and said "I don't care, the elf can't talk." Then my mom had them and she was doing the same and my m om asked her "what would you mommy say if she saw you doing that and she answered "I'll quit when she gets here."

Also, when they had their lesson on apples last ...

When Santa left his shop one day he found a snowman near his sleigh. "you'll be my helper now," he said, and tapped the little fellow's head.

The snowman found that he could talk. "Look Santa, I can even walk!" And then he gave a little sigh... "Oh, how I wish I could fly!"

Maryn sleeps with a pink bear as a pillow and claims it makes her hair look pretty the next day. ("your hair looks good this morning" "that's because I slept on my pink bear"). If it were only that easy.

miles on my shoes! My feet are hurting a little bit, maybe time for new ones. That's like running from here to a little past Houston!!
