Another fun old post 7/4/07

Today we made a map/racetrack. I got an old sheet, a Sharpie, and consulted our trusty Google map and we drew our little part of Arlington. We drew all the familiar roads on it and landmarks like church, school, Granny and Pa's, McDonalds, the park etc. It was really fun. The kids are good at knowing the roads and stuff - so we drew it all out and they've been driving their matchbox cars all around it. We're a little concerned about K - she can't seem to keep her car on the roads - so we'll probably make her wait till she's 80 to get her license. We all feel pretty good about that. :o)

In other news we got a call from K's teacher this week. She told us that K has been selected to be in the Pyramid Project. It's the district's Gifted and Talented program. Basically - based on her performance and scores she will be put in advanced placement classes and stuff through high school. Anyway - it's pretty exciting! We are proud of her and all the hard work she's done. Good job KayKay! :o)
