Reflections 2009

For Reflections this year, the theme was "Beauty is..." and so the girls set off to make stuff.

Today was the award ceremony.

This is Lily waiting for the assembly to start. (love the boy in the far left??LOL)

Here is Rebekah also waiting for the assembly to start. She is wearing her Indian feathers for today since the 5th graders did Colonial Day and could dress up if they wanted.

Here are my two winners!! In the 3D Art category in the Intermediate Division (3rd-5th grades) Rebekah won honorable mention and Lily won 1st place.
(See the cute, little 1st grader holding the "applause" sign? Well the poor dear had to pee and was too shy to say anything and within like 3 minutes of me taking this picture, the poor thing peed her pants, in front of the whole school.)

Here is Lily with her project. Her project is titled, "Beauty is recycling." I saw this project on Family Fun.com and knew she would LOVE doing it. She had a blast putting it together. I did have to help her with the glue gun though. Now her project goes on to District. I don't know if you can see it, but the little person has a halo. :-)

Here is Rebekah and her awesome rag quilt. Her project is titled, "Beauty is creating comfort." When she set to work on this blanket, she had her own pattern in mind. I will have to take another picture of it to show you. It is 6 feet tall and almost 4 feet wide. She was excited to win an honorable mention and now gets to sleep with it. She can't wait for me to wash it so the fringes will fray more.


I am so proud of my girls desire to enter into Reflections every year. Their confidence skyrockets when they get to create. Good thing they create all year round.

Lovely Lily

Well, I have updated about all the kids except Lily... My little flower.

She is in 3rd grade and quite the social butterfly. She had a HUGE sleep over bash for her birthday and I seriously did not think that almost all the girls in her class would be able to come... but they did. My house was so loud and crazy, but Lily loved it and had a blast. I have never met a group of girls that can actually get along and all like each other!!

Lily entered a project into the Reflections thing at school and today was the awards ceremony. (I will post more about her and Rebekah's projects in a bit.) She took first place in her grade division and is going to District. She was INSANELY excited!!

Lately Lily has been extra sensitive... heaven help me now. :-) She went in for her 9 year old well child visit and she weighs a whopping 53 pounds! Seriously, she got her physique from her daddy.

She wants to play soccer in the spring, so I need to sign her up. She is so excited.

She is almost done with "Fablehaven" and I am proud of her! Lily also enjoys helping me clean and bake in the kitchen. Just yesterday she helped with dessert.
