Excellence

On Wednesday Ally's teacher emailed me saying she had nominated Ally for an Excellence award.  We had to keep it a surprise, so she'd be surprised when her name was announced.  Just to show a little extra spirit, I braided her hair with a "B".  It didn't turn out quite how I imagined, but now I know how I will do it next time.

 She got her excellence t-shirt.

 We took full advantage of the nice weather.

After this, Matt took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for dinner.  My sister and I drove downtown for the Time Out for Women conference.  It was a great time for me to re-group my bucket.  It was also a fun time for Matt to spend with the kids.
