Checking out Kindergarten

Well Arianna had an exciting day yesterday. Her elementary school had a dinner for all incoming Kindergarteners and their families. We all went to the dinner, but Ethan got very fussy so Michael took him home and I stayed with Arianna. She met some friends she already knew and played for a while then they got to visit the classrooms, meet the teachers, go to the library, work on some projects. She wrote her name VERY nicely on some lined paper. Even the principal commented on how nice it was. That made her very proud so she all the teachers, school nurse, etc. Then afterwards she went and played on teh playground for a while and watched some girls playing softball. She wants to do T-ball next year. Luckily she actually knows a few kids that will be attending there. It just depends on if they get in the same class. Right now there are 2 full day classes, 1 AM class and 1 PM class. She is in full day. A boy from her soccer class is in full day, 2 other kids on our street are in full day, and another girl that sometimes attends her parents night out at her school (and is the neighbor of the boy from soccer) is also full day. So hopefully she will be in a class with at least one of these people.

This weekend should be interesting. Michael and about 5 guys from his work are going to attempt to put in a sprinkler system for our yard. We will see how that goes :) It is supposed to be very warm and nice today and this weekend. We are loving it as we were missing the warm weather from Hawaii :).

Next weekend we are going to the beach at Yachats, OR for a few days. Michael's parents are going to go as well. Hopefully the weather will be good!!

Have a great day!

Ooooo, kindergarten!! Didn't yu just LOVE kindergarten? I am confident Miss Arianna will have a wonderful time with big girl school. How grand that she already knows some of the "student body".

Trusting Oregon beach time was fun. How great that Grama and Grampa can join you. Great memory making:)

Thanks for sharing.
