Every kids dream at some point is probably to have a pony as a pet. Well Addie wants a pony, but she will have to settle for riding her friends pony! Her friend Audrey from Kindergarten invited her over to play last weekend and at the end of the day Audrey's mom, Robin, let them ride the pony. Addie was ecstatic! She was absolutely grinning from ear to ear!

This is a memory I will never forget.

Tiger Night
(An event held at our school to showcase the students work throughout the year.)

Addie's art project was a clay pot
Her class participated in the recycling project. Addie's was the flower garden which is pictured in an earlier post.
Megan, Sarah & Erwin did a Rube Goldberg project. It was a very complicated device that after all parts performed their respective duty it turned off an alarm clock. I believe Meg's final grade was an 87%! I think that was great after seeing the work that went into it!
In case you are unfamiliar with Rube, here is a brief description.

Reuben Garret Lucius Goldberg (4 July 1883 – 7 December 1970) was an Americancartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor who received a 1948 Pulitzer Prize for his political cartooning. He is best known for his series of popular cartoons depicting Rube Goldberg machines, complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

Excellent work kids! You make mom proud.

!!!!! SPRING !!!!!

All of these pics were taken at a local Nursery. Hilltop Farms just east of Dover Mo. They have the most beautiful home/farm/nursery. Mom and I love to drive down there. They have created this waterfall that is actually 3 waterfalls, two ponds, 3 bridges, a deck and a gazebo! It is amazing! When all the plantings come alive around the pond it is really something to see, and it's only about 10 min east of Lexington on 24 highway. (very easy to find)




Finally I think spring might actually be here. I am taking a chance and planting flowers. I will either have gorgeous flowers by the middle of May or I am gluten for punishment and they will die in a frost. I will remain hopeful!!!


For Earth Day this week, Addie had to create a recycled item. This is her egg carton flower bed. We used the lid for the "water tray", pieces of cardboard shipping box for the labels, and throw away scrap paper for the name tags and butterflies. Very cute & Eco friendly at the same time!
