Tiptoe Through the Tulips

Last Fall, I used some of my Birthday money to buy tulip bulbs and see what would happen if I threw a few in the ground. Costco had these HUGE bags of bulbs and I bought several. Over the winter, I actually completely forgot about planting all those bulbs....until now!

I'm so glad I planted them! I smile every time I pull into the driveway and the display stops traffic from time to time. My neighbors have actually called me to ask how and what I did to get the tulips so pretty:)

We started March with our only measurable snowfall of the winter. Guess who made the best of it??

As we approach the last few months of school, they are preparing Devin to head upstairs next year to the Lower Elementary class. This portion of the Montessori program is very exciting and will be new for Devin. Her class will consist of 6-9 year olds and their teacher, Miss Marcia. Each week, Dev will have a plan created with her teacher. Then, she can choose when and what to work on throughout the day.

So, the older children in her current class are starting these:

The teachers report Devin still shows a lot of interest in sewing. So, Miss Karen moved on a to new stitch and more complicated project. The little tag reads, "Hand Sewn by Devin." She was SO proud to finally show these to us and beamed as she told us about her project.
