First Days of School

David is happy to be in 3rd Grade.  This year will bring the added challenge of participating in the Gifted program 4 days a week.  He is still a voracious reader and creator of things from paper.

Matthew is so excited to start school, although everyday he complains about not being able to eat lunch at school.  Next year he will be thrilled to be at school all day.  At our parent orientation we learned that PreK is the new Kindergarten and Kindergarten is the new 1st Grade.  Matthew is happy and ready to learn.

Yesteryear Festival

Saturday we explored the Yesteryear Festival over at the Cape Fear Historical Complex.  It was so much fun to see a cannon fired (toward traffic) and old muskets fired (also toward traffic).  The wood worker was fun too, although Matthew was too short to turn the wheel it was fun to watch David.  My favorite part was watching the Fife and Drum corp march across the foot bridge and perform their songs.
