Linoleum Hockey

Kristin is really enjoying her gig as Star Student at kindergarten this week. Today she got to share her favorite book with the class. She picked Curious George Goes to the Hospital. It's actually one of the longer Curious George stories, and her kindergarten teacher read the whole story to the class. Kristin was thrilled, since she had brought along a back up Curious George book that was much shorter in case her favorite was too long. Her kindergarten friends also made her a book. Each student did one page. We haven't seen it yet, I think she gets to bring it home tomorrow.

The kids did real well playing together tonight. They played with the tube tunnel and Kellen also got out the floor hockey sticks. They played with the tunnel while Danelle and I talked to yet another flooring contractor. I think we must have talked to seven or eight by now. I think we're pretty close to a decision - hopefully we'll have a new floor within the next few weeks.

Last night Danelle went to a focus group meeting that the Beaverton School District organized. They are floating some pretty unconventional ideas about changes, so Danelle went with a couple other mothers so our voice could be heard. It had been quite awhile since I did the bedtime routine solo. The kids were good but the evening was over before I knew it.
