So Thankful for William

What a great PK4 Pow Wow at WPS!!  This is one of the best events for the little ones and I am trying to soak up every one of these with William.  They chose him to hold the flag during the Pledge and he held it up high with pride!!  Each child picked an Indian name and Will was Chief Brave Warrior!!  Love it!  They sang a bunch of songs - this is the most outgoing, performance oriented class I have ever seen.  They sing and dance and aren't a bit shy!!   

Look who joined William for his performance.  I pulled this picture from 3 years ago when Julia was in PK4 - She was Little Running Horse.  Comparing these pictures really reminds me how incredibility fast these years are going!

Big Hugs for Mrs. Fagan - our incredible Lower School Director and good friend.  She is so in love with all the little kids and makes sure to be their biggest cheerleader.

3 Little Indians in a TeePee!!  

Love the placemat - William is thankful for God, his class, his grandpa and his family!  

So many smiles all day - warms a mommies hear!

William ate more than any other little Indian at the Thanksgiving Feast!!  He just keep going back for more.  Watch out Oma - he might gobble up all your Thanksgiving dinner. 

We are so lucky to be surrounded by amazing PK4 chidden and their families.  We have been blessed so many times over at WPS and all the incredible people we have met along the way.

A Bomb ....

William is always hitting balls in the driveway and keeps asking when does he get to play on a team.  Ok .. I think he is ready.  Not only his swing, but look at his celebration at the end!!  Poor #5!!  Let the boy finally play!

Corn Maze Fun

We had a fun time on Saturday at the Long & Scott Corn Maze in Mt Dora.  We met the Gambles and spent over 3 hours hanging out and enjoying the farm.  The kids kept saying this place is so country!!  Made me laugh ... i guess I grew up so country - surrounded by corn!  We started with the corn maze.  Julia, Harley and William were really into it - Brody and Matthew a little indifferent and Katie was BORED!!  Kind of felt like a FFFD (forced family fun day) at first but then everyone got into it.  After we had enough of the maze, the kids were able to zip line, jump on a huge jump pillow, go down a bumpy 60 foot slide and of course snack on some amazing Zellwood sweet corn lathered in butter!! 

We were dirty and tired when we left but it was the most spectacular weather and we were all so happy to make the drive to Mt. Dora!!  Definitely will be bringing the kids next year (well at least the littles!).  

Happy Birthday Emily!

Julia went to Emily's 8th birthday SLEEPOVER!!!  It was her first sleepover with a bunch of girls and she was very, very excited!!  Mia, Janey, Julia and Danielle helped Emily kick off 8 with a bang.  They started with dinner at home, cosmic bowling, art projects, matching jambes and lights out by 11:30pm!! Good job Laine!!  So lucky that Julia has found such a sweet group of friends.  Love all their parents and I know this group will look out for each other.  Just noticed looking at the pics that all of them have blonde or strawberry blonde hair!!  These girls aren't your typical blondes - smart, athletic with a little bit of sass!!
