Timber Ridge






Kinsey and I enjoyed a beautiful (but COLD) weekend outside of Atlanta at Girl Scout's Timber Ridge Campgrounds.  Both the 4th and 5th grade troops combined for the weekend to learn skills like rope-tying and fire-building.  We also completed a fun scavenger hunt in the camp, took a "flashlight-free" night hike, roasted marshmallows and made S'mores and just enjoyed each other's company.  Love my little scout!  :)

Mission Accomplished: ACT complete

Kinsey was honored to be selected earlier this year by the Duke Talent Search for her excellent standardized test scores in 3rd grade.  One of the benefits is the opportunity to take the ACT Explore test.  This kid wasn't phased at all by going to a huge school an hour away and being dropped off for the 3+ hour test.  Way to go kiddo!

Vet, Jr

On this beautiful MLK day, we spent the morning helping Kinsey finish collected data for her science fair project on heart rates of different animals.  What a smart, young, budding scientist we have!

Forts, Donuts and Such





We spent the last few days of our Christmas holiday at home relaxing enjoying some new toys.  Lots of Lego time, fort-building, and donut and cotton candy making.  Back to school soon!  :(((

Birthday Celebration!

I had so much fun going to Greenville and meeting up with Nanny and Papadad to see the Wizard of Oz for my birthday!
