There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one. Jill Churchill

WE ARE DONE TESTING!!!!!!!! WooHoo! The kids did great. As they finished up, I placed them in other classrooms to help little kids. Those that didn't get a chance to do this will get a chance this week. I was so proud of all of them for sitting up tall, showing their work, typing their little fingers off, and shining like the stars they are. Now, we are done with testing for the year. Yay!

Only in Montana do kids play outside in the snow in May! My goodness, will it ever end this year? We were glad when we went out this afternoon and the sun was shining down. It is supposed to get warmer now. Yay!



After testing, we read a little bit of Riding Freedom. Charlotte is now in California. We stopped with a HUGE cliffhanger! Charlotte got kicked in the face by a wild Mustang. Oh My! We will find out what happens next tomorrow!

Hopefully kids are studying their spelling words for Friday's test. Not this Friday, but the next is the Western Region States and Capital's test.

Kids have earned iPods for Art class again tomorrow. They may bring them in for this.

The recorder concert was so amazing. It is always fun to see how much they grow. They actually get pretty complex, which seems odd on a recorder. Enjoy the slideshow below.

Once again, I was spoiled rotten today. A HUGE thank you to Spencer's family for feeding me breakfast. The lemon blueberry cake was fantastic! And, to wash it down with some hot mint tea…perfect! Thank you so much for surprising me. I loved seeing the entire family this morning. What a great way to start off the day! If that wasn't enough, Miss Abi and her family snuck in a beautiful pot of flowers and a card that brought tears to my eyes! How did you know that I loved purple flowers? Miss Casasha and family spoiled me again with another card and gift to Amazon.com. I am going to LOVE shopping this weekend. There has been some things in my wish box for awhile now! I so appreciate all that all of you do every day. Allowing me to be a part of your kiddo's lives is the best gift you could ever give me. So, thank you so much!



Moms…I leave you with one of my all time favorite songs to sing to both Emma and Beau! I often sing it at the top of my lungs. Can you picture it??? If you make your child listen to this and then get them to say the golden phrase to you, write MOTHER KNOWS BEST in the planner for $50! They have to say it to you to get the code word!!!!!! Hee Hee!

Have a wonderful night!
