So we conquered yet another school project for the year. And all our hard work paid off with a second place win in Jessica's 1st grade class. NOT that I'm bitter, but the first place winner admitted to Jessica that her mom did the whole project . . . so at least my 'heavy' participation didn't seem so bad.
Tons of fun had on the recent trip to Palm Springs with the Wright family. Plenty of pool time, an afternoon of tennis and several heated jump-rope competitions. Jessica wisely handpicked the judges and had a winning streak the entire week. And what I wouldn't give for that girl's hair!!
Jessica and eight friends went to a local ceramic studio to paint ceramics for her 6th birthday. We were all very lucky that her Aunt Jerri, Uncle Bren and cousin Lucy were able to join us. As an added bonus we had Aunt Sofia, Uncle Nigel and cousins Nick and Dylan out from New York! Here is Jessica with Sydney, and a great shot of Goose playing peek a boo. Also check out the handsome Wright men and our good friend Addie from the pool.
Our most recent school project - a Diorama showing how animals can use camouflage to protect themselves in nature. In the bottom right corner is an orange octopus hiding in our fabulous orange pipe cleaner sea anemone. Big props to Dylan Wright for his awesome and creative Treasure Chest. This month we have a science project due on static electricity.
