Art Award

I received an email a few weeks ago asking permission to frame and hang some artwork that Camilla did in school. Her art was chosen from everyone in her grade to be displayed at the elementary school for the coming years and they get to take it home when they graduate. Mr. Stannix was able to get the morning off work and Gramma drove down to see her two seconds of fame!

Camilla had no idea that all of this was happening, and the look of excitement on her face when she noticed us as the classes filed in was priceless. She was called to the front to hold her art while the audience clapped for her. It's funny how little things like this can make your eyes sting with tears of joy. We are so proud of her!
Gramma took the two older boys home to the acreage. They were so excited to go to Gramma and Grampa's all by themselves. She spoiled them with hard icecream at the corner store on the way home.

I got a lot of laundry and cleaning done while they were away and even squeezed in a short nap before Camilla got home from school! We headed into the city for a little bit of shopping and then met up with Daddy for a late dinner at Montana's.

These two got along so well! Finley wasn't sure what to do with all of the extra attention. He was so sweet and well behaved the entire night.

We got to Montana's early to wait for a table and Daddy walked in just as we were being seated. Perfect timing!

Fin drank a whole cup of chocolate milk and then took one bite of his dinner. It was such a quiet meal! The hardest part was keeping Ollie occupied at the table while we ate. We arrived home late and tucked everyone into bed. The last day of school is tomorrow and we are all ready!!
