Amelia's Community project for 1st grade. Amelia was assigned to build an Ocean Springs landmark for her social studies project. Um, okay, look I love Ocean Springs, I rave about Ocean Springs but a landmark? The only building we have over two stories is a retirement community, what are we going to build, a
Walmart?? So we chose our church which actually is very beautiful. This was a true family project. The structure was built out of
shoeboxes, paper plate steeple, wooden
skewers for the columns. Amelia did all the
glueing and painting, she even painted the stain glass window on the back. It was cute but man it took a full two days of work for Stephen, Amelia and I. We were so thankful because the day before we handed it in, the school was called off for Hurricane Ida so we had an extra day to work on it. So the big day came, the project was due. We took pictures of it, Stephen drove Amelia to school so she didn't have to take it on the bus, it was a big ta-do. So, Amelia comes home from school and Stephen asks her, "Did everyone bring their project in today Amelia?" Amelia says, "
Ahh, no." All of a sudden I realized, "Oh crap, the project wasn't due until the next Wednesday!!!" I felt like such a dope and I even had it on my calendar in green marker, landmark project due the 18
th. Oh well, we were a week early, better than late I guess.
I know I posted that Amelia had her training wheels off her bike like um, four months ago. You can look back and see Stephen running beside Amelia while she was pedaling. Well, that was as far as she ever got.
Every time we convinced her to get on her bike she would tremble, "Daddy, don't let me go, DADDY don't let me go, Daddy, don't!" So, for four months Stephen has been running beside her bike trying to convince her she would be fine. Well, guess what? Finally, finally, finally she is riding her bike without anyone holding on! We thought she would be going to college with training wheels but alas, like everything else, Amelia will do things on her own time. (Just ask my best friend, Marcie, about the first time Amelia went to a splash pad).
Someone else has been enjoying bike rides during our nice fall weather. I just love this picture, I have the same pose for all three of the kids in this bike seat. It has served us well.
Amelia and Luke at
Sandhill Crane Refuge Center. They run programs for kids on nature and animals in the area. The kids always enjoy when we can get there.
