Laurel Hill Primary School

Morgan attended a summer enrichment camp at her new school last week. She had a GREAT time and really enjoyed herself. We found out the first day that her friend Tirzah from her pre-school and Sunday school had the same teacher, so she at least knew one person in her class.



She got to make a book about ladybugs, did math activities using dice, and got to have a popsicle for a snack the last day.

You'll have to check out the school's website: http://laurelhill.ccsdschools.com/home.aspx

I think it's top notch--even if it is in South Carolina and our schools are ranked 49th in the nation!

"Morgan, now that you've graduated from pre-school, what will you do?"

I'm going to Disney World!!

The Orlando Science Center

If you ever decide to visit Orlando and want to see something else besides Disney, this is a great place to go! They have several kid friendly exhibits for all ages from a dinosaur exhibit to the toddler zone. If we lived there, I'd definitely invest in an annual pass!

Morgan Graduates from Pre-School

Here are some pictures from Morgan's Pre-School Graduation. In order to get her out of her usual tank top, skirt, and flip flops, I had to bribe her with a cupcake and bring her a change of clothes to wear after the ceremony was over. I tell you, she drives a hard bargain.

Muffins with Mom

Morgan's pre-school class had an early Mother's Day celebration on Wednesday. As part of the festivities, the children each presented their mom with a page entitled "My Mom" on which the teachers asked each child a question and recorded their response. Here's Morgan's:

My Mom

My mom's name is: Alice.

That one was pretty good. A lot of the kids just responded with "Mommy" so I was glad she actually new my name.

My mom cooks the best: spaghetti.

I must say I feel a bit like a gourmet cook after reading this response, as I read "macaroni and cheese" on most of the others.

This is how she makes it: She starts boiling the water. Then she adds the noodles. Next is the meat.

See--that's way more difficult than mac & cheese.

My mom and I like to: play tag.

My mom's favorite clothes to wear are: dresses.

Not that I have many occasions to wear them.

My mom is beautiful because: she likes me.

Oh, how sweet is that.

And my personal favorite:

My mom always says: "Honey, go play with your brother."

Oh, out of the mouths of babes--that one is SO true!!

Happy Easter!

Hapy 5th Birthday, Morgan!

Here are some pictures from Morgan's birthday party. We had it at one of her favorite hang-outs "Ready, Set, Jump". Good thing, because 19 of her friends decided to come help her celebrate the big day, and there's no way we could have pulled that off at the house.
