Panther University - ZOO Night!

     So every month my school, Avilla Elementary, has a Panther University night where we invite all of our families and community members into the school to enjoy a fun night of educational activities!  Tonight was ZOO NIGHT!  Averi and I often go to Panther Universities...it is our special time together:) while Daddy stays home and hangs out with Alexxa and Maddox.  
     Tonight at Zoo Night we learned about armadillos, salamanders,  tarantulas (Daddy's favorite:)), a colorful bird (I forget the name), and Averi's favorite...a boa constrictor!  We also got to hang out with all the other teachers' kids, which was so much fun:)

Spring is Almost Here!

     We were able to go outside today to test out the girls' new bike and scooter!  It was nice to have the weather warm enough to go outside to play without freezing:) Maddox came out to hang out too!

Sam's Art Debut

     My niece Samantha's art work was chosen to be displayed in the Ft. Wayne FAME Art Show this weekend! Her art was chosen by her Kindergarten Art teacher.  We decided to support her accomplishments by attending the Art Show with her!  We are so proud of her hard work and talent!  The show was really cool...there were cool arts and crafts booths to go along with all of the neat art work on display! 

Sam and her drawing of a Bear!
