Emma

There's nothing quite like the Kindergarten Christmas Program to spread a little holiday cheer. Every child is so excited and happy, they sang their little hearts out. Christmas is so magical to them and they are all absolutely adorable.

The program was 25 minutes long- short, sweet and perfect!




We went out to celebrate and ran into one of Emma's classmates at Dairy Queen. What a treat!

Earlier this week Emma was awarded a medal for winning 3rd place for Visual Arts in the Reflections Contest. I don't have a picture of her project, but in January when we go to the district awards ceremony I'll be sure to get one. She really LOVES her medal and has worn it every day since.
Emma is very artistic. It's come in handy lately... let me explain.

It's a constant battle, but I try to teach my kids not to ask me questions while I am talking on the phone. I'm not one to gab for hours, but it seems like whenever I get a phone call EVERYONE suddenly needs something. So, I tell my kids to write me a note. Emma draws me pictures. I've been saving some of her pictures because I really get a kick out of them. I can usually tell what she is asking. Can you?

"Can you pour me a glass of milk?"

"Can I cut the paper chain?"

"Can you help me get a waffle from the freezer?"
(The picture is actually showing me that she can't reach.)

"Can I watch a show?"

"Can I walk the dog?" (we were dog-sitting)

"Can I go see if Natty can play?"

"I cleaned the playroom all by myself!"
