Ellie has a best friend, Yesenia. She sits next to her in class and we found out a couple of weeks ago that they live just a couple of blocks away. She is a very sweet girl and her family seems really nice. We started carpooling last week. I pick Yesenia up in the morning and her mom brings Ellie home. It has been a great arrangement. Ellie has had several play dates with her and they even made matching friendship bracelets. It is fun to see these girls together and listen to them talk.
Ellie has also joined a Campfire Kids troop. They meet every Monday after school. There are six girls and one of the moms from her Kindergarten class is the leader. It is pretty much like girl scouts, they even sing the make new friends but keep the old song at the end of every meeting.
Caden is doing great is school. This month they learned about France and did a mini Tour de France. His teacher even made everyone yellow jerseys for the race. It was so fun to see the kids ride their bikes. You can check out pics at his preschool website here : http://shiningstarsclass.blogspot.com/
Maxwell is a button pusher, literally. He turns on and off the tv, wii, computer, oven light, and even the heat. It took me at least 24 hours to realize that the heat was off and that was why it was so cold in my house. I am hoping this is just a phase and he will grow out of it soon.
