Happy 5th Birthday Peter!

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 by Leslie Paladino

Happy birthday to the sweetest boy I know!  It is a blessing to be his mommy and I am so thankful for his joyful, easy going spirit.  He is one of a kind and cracks us up on a daily basis.  I hope that little personality never changes!

Ironically Peter is celebrating his 5th birthday with Fifth Disease hence the pink cheeks.  It’s going around big time here but at least the only symptom is a rash.

Peter decided he wanted to just celebrate with family this year.  He got to go shopping today with his birthday money which he loved and we finished off the day with mexican food and cake.  He’s also asked to go camping/fishing with Mimi and Papa Mike and make his own car at Ridemakerz in Branson which we’ll be doing over the next couple of weekends.

Spanish Treasure Cave Field Trip

Friday, May 30, 2014 by Leslie Paladino

Today Gabby’s class had a field trip to the Spanish Treasure Cave in Gravette.  We got to tour the cave, pan for gemstones and do a little shopping in the gift shop.  The kids had a great time!

That cavern behind the girls “like freaked” Gabby out.
