WF “Happy 5th Birthday Arleigh Hope!” 4/23/13

031

So Arleigh is 5 today.  Another Wee Friender who has completed the cycle.  Today I nostalgically remember the tiny sweet baby Arleigh.  Who has now grown into a big kid.  Who will be starting Kennedy Primary Academy this fall <insert sentimental sniff sniff>.  Happy Birthday Arleigh!

FARM UPDATE:  I will be taking Group A to the farm on this Thursday 4/25/13, as long as the forecast remains true.  Ok, peeps,  please bear with me:

  1. We will get the kids to the farm as much as possible now that the weather is more cooperative. 
  2. I have to make a change to the way I group the children this spring because I have too many older kids to divide into big kids/little kids.  
  3. Group A will go this week.  Next week is Group B (weather permitting).  Then we will rotate A/B/A/B and so on. 
  4. I will get another day of the week lined up for the younger group C kids to have one spring trip and I will keep you posted on the date (and rain date).
  5. Thursday is our “normal” day, but this may flex too.   I may give short notice based on weather.

This morning was the new swim session for 9 WF’ers .  Despite some initial nerves from old swimmers and new swimmers, Miss Leslie and Mr. Aaron reported a fabulous start.  (And we saw the frowns turn into smiles from the sideline!)

Back at the ranch, the children worked on tin foil art and spent a good deal of time enjoying more outside time.
