5 on Friday

1. Nick had his Fantasy Football Draft at our house on Sunday.  The draft takes a long time--- it started at 10am and didn't get over until a little before 5.


2. With the draft going on at home, the girls needed to get away--- to Ames we went!  The girls loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and even got to see the new trains at Reimen Gardens.  They are pretty neat.


3. Tuesday night was Curriculum Night at Ellie's school. The parents go and learn about what the kids will be taught during the year, how the classroom works, and other fun information we all wonder about. With it being dance night, Nick took dance duty and I went to Ellie's classroom. At school it was confirmed that Ellie has a best friend (Ellie had told me, the other girls' mom mentioned it to me as well).  :) It is nice to know she is making friends.


4. Ellie survived her first full week of kindergarten!  She loves it and loves to tell us about her day and everything she has learned thus far. She is tired, but that is to be expected.


5. Neve must not have heard that Ellie is jealous she gets to take naps because she hasn't been taking advantage of that at school. It just goes to show that each kid is his or her own person--- Ellie still loves (and sort of needs) naps at age 5 1/2, while Neve is ready to give them up at 3.
