Today is Sydney's 100th day of Kindergarten. It seems hard to believe that I have driven her to and from our house to school a total of one hundred times since September. From that first nervous morning to today where she merrily bounded out the door to school, we've come a long way!
Sydney's class had some special celebrations today to mark the 100th day. Each of the girls in the class brought in a project which consisted of 100 items compiled into groups of 10. Sydney decided that she wanted to collect 100 pennies and display them on a poster board, which was no easy task given there are no more pennies in circulation in Canada!
It was a fun project and a neat way to welcome in her 100th day of school!
We have had celebrations galore going on around here this month! Last Thursday marked the start of the Lunar New Year, 2015 is the year of the ram.
In keeping with our tradition started last year, I made a Chinese dinner for us to enjoy, General Tso's Chicken and Green Beans in spicy black bean sauce. It was delicious!
Sydney class had an entire day of celebrations on Friday for the Lunar New Year. All of the girls got to show up to school wearing red or traditional Asian outfits. The girls made crafts and learned how to make some Chinese dishes. I volunteered to help the girls cook chow mein, it was super fun and the girls absolutely loved it!
Sydney came home with some red envelopes from her classmates along with some pretty amazing crafts.
The very next day we celebrated Bea's 5th birthday together with our friends at St. Helen's church hall.
I just love this card that Sydney and I made for her, especially that huge, long message that Sydney wrote to her!
Bea's birthday kicks off the first of many birthdays happening over the next few months in our little Dunbar family, it's going to be one party after another around here, I love it!
Sydney had a riding lesson under a beautiful, sunny blue sky on Saturday. She rode Taffy for the first time in a long time and enjoyed the bird's eye view from WAY up top of that saddle, he's a big horse!
Even with all the celebrating this weekend Sydney still found time to enjoy some morning painting.
And to build some pretty cool structures with her blocks.
And to snap some photos with Momma of the beautiful blooms on our block.
It was a good weekend!
