Sara's Homework

I have to admit and acknowledge that I have married a 21st Century Educator, aka a tech dude-geek! He loves to dabble and play with technology. Some of that has worn off on me, but not everything!

So, when our then four year old came home with an assignment to look around the house and draw sources of light, he decided that wasn't the best way to show that and it would take so long to draw it all. So, Sara and Darren went around the house with our I-pad and took pictures of light sources. Sara was able to take the pictures, it is super easy. Then Darren opened Keynote on the I-pad and demonstrated to Sara how to add the pictures into the keynote. Pretty soon Sara was adding her own pictures to the keynote. Sara also came up with the idea of doing a dark light pattern with her backgrounds. Darren added the text, but overall this project was done by a four year old. Darren sent it to her teacher and Sara presented it to her classmates. Watch the video below to see Sara sharing with her peers about sources of light in our house.

Busy Weekend...

This weekend as been unbelievably busy...

Friday day...we had a little birthday party for Sara in her Pre-K classroom.

Friday night...Sara got to choose where she wanted to eat dinner...her choice...McDonald's...as my Mom said...what does McDonald's have to offer or entice to a girl who can't eat anything there but the french fries and ice cream...the fact that Mom will let her eat only french fries and ice cream. Kacy had a friend, Jamie Lee come spend the night.

Saturday Morning...we had 10 little princesses come to our house for Sara's birthday party. You can see the previous post to see the video of the party.

Saturday afternoon/evening...we headed up to GSIS to watch TCIS play YISS in the KAIAC championship game. This was super fun as TCIS lost the first two games, then being tied 23-23 came back to win game 3 28-26 and won game 4 and 5. It was a GREAT game! Go Dragons! We traveled back late Sunday night.

Sunday we had church nursery and then Lisa cooked us dinner so we went over there to celebrate Kirk's Birthday. Happy B-day Kirk! This was followed by the Fall Frolic in which the kids got to dress up and go around playing games and getting candy. This was followed by roasting marshmallow's and grilling out hotdogs.

By the time we got home Sunday night we were all exhausted and ready for a vacation on Monday, unfortunately, school started back and it was back to reality.

Princess Sara's 5th Birthday

Sara Emma turned 5 the other day. I know it sounds clique, but really it is hard to believe that she is that old. I truly do remember the day clearly. We were having a soccer jamboree here at school. I was walking around talking to people that morning. Thinking, man am I ever going to have this baby. I went to my classroom to work and prepare for the upcoming week. When I came out of my classroom and walked back by the jamboree talking to people I was no longer thinking when is this baby coming...I was thinking...this baby is coming...although I didn't tell anyone. Boy were people surprised when I delivered Sara a few hours later. They had just seen me! :) Sara came in with a good 8 lbs and the adventure of life with Sara Emma Price began.

Fast forward 5 years and here we are at Sara's 5th birthday! Enjoy the video that shows the day.

A Random October Day

We had the opportunity to go to Seoul this week for the day. The kids enjoyed some time on the playground and we were able to take some pictures.

They are all growing so big so fast...

Hanging Out

Awww, summertime...it is always a good time of relaxation, spending time with family and friends, and eating.

Before we left Korea, the girls had a chance to get their hair done. They really enjoy a relaxing time at the hairdressers. Always a great start to the summer.

Back in NC: Ethan enjoys crawling around and playing with his sisters. He is into exploring and has a good time checking everything out!

Once return to North Carolina the kids have to explore and re-find all their toys. They had a blast building this fort in our living room. Ethan really enjoyed harassing the girls even though the girls weren't always thrilled.

Once again many days are spent at parks and going for walks. Trying to enjoy the outside before it gets too hot.

Waterfights and Summer Fun

Following on of our school work days the girls decided they wanted to "get" Mr. Landon. We warned him that a threat had been made and soon a full watergun fight ensued.

The preparations were made. Waterguns loaded and water bucket filled for re-fills. The fight was primarily between Kacy, Sara, and Mr. Landon.

(Ms. Brenna was the official photographer.)

The three muskateers...

Ethan didn't have a water gun but he enjoyed the water bucket.

O Jung Dong Farewell & Graduation 2011

As we end another school year it is full of the normal festivities of graduation, faculty farewell, and packing up our school for the big move.

Graduation this year was outside and the weather was actually really nice. Although it looked like it might rain, it didn't. Our kids all made it to graduation this year. Here are the girls at graduation. Sara even got to enjoy some coloring with some of her friends. Ethan just smiled at those passing by.

Faculty Farewell

As we ended the school year, the faculty farewell was a little different this year. This is our last year at the O Jung Dong site for TCIS. The school will be relocating to its new site in Techno Valley. Some of the ritualistic duties that were done were to remove the school seal from the atrium and an attempt to remove the cornerstone from the ES Library although this proved to be too difficult and they ended up leaving it in for the time being.
