Exciting week around here!

For starters, we have Emma’s Kindergarten School Star Week.  

See in kindergarten in our school each kid gets their own special week to celebrate and be the student of the week.

Emma had to make a poster board to bring to school that displayed all things about Emma, including her family and favorite things.

Can you tell my Frozen Obsessed Girl went of course with a Frozen Theme?!

So, we worked on that this past weekend, in between getting our game night on (which oh so much fun) and also paying a trip to urgent care one more time for good measure having Emma falling Saturday morning, where we thought she may have broken her nose (so not fun).  But thankfully she didn’t, just more of a scare for Kevin and myself, as well as more crazy times here, too.

Just more gratuitous shots of her Star Student Poster!

What can I say never a dull moment – Star Student Week Included!

To that end, not only do we have Emma’s Star Week, where on Friday at the end to culminate her week, we (her family) get to go in to celebrate and party with her teacher and classmates, but we have Lily’s school Harvest Feast that same evening, Lily’s school friend’s karate birthday party Saturday afternoon, a family wedding Saturday night and to cap off the weekend Lily turns 4 on Sunday with a gymnastics party in the afternoon.

So, truly a whirlwind around here for the next two weeks.

And if that wasn’t enough, it is time for Wonderful Wednesday with a huge 100 post celebration this week, as well!

    Exciting times for your daughters and exciting time for mom…a win/win week if you ask me. Congratulations on your success here, Janine, and on being the best mom in the world.

    Janine,

    Without God this week, I do not know if either one of us will make us. It sounds like you will have an extremely busy rest of the week and next week. I will pray God will bless you in all the craziness and you will have a great Thanksgiving! You did a GREAT JOB on the poster. I love the all pictures.

    Blessings,
    Diane Roark

    The board looks amazing. I am sure she is so proud of it. And what a great thing to hold on to for when she gets older too. It’s always fun to be the star of the week!
    I know I haven’t been here in FOREVER but I wanted to pop over and say hi because I miss you.
    Lots of love to you and the family 🙂

    Hugs …
    xoxo

    Congratulations to Emma! So many of her favorite things are Scarlet’s favorite things.
    She’s still loving kindergarten? Scarlet does but she says that the full days are too long! I can understand that.
    And so sorry about the urgent care visit. Sheesh!

  19. Rosey says

    I love the board. And hurrah, Olaf is on on there!! I’m glad your daughter didn’t really have a broken nose! I know that worry though… it’s a tough time until you know for sure.

  21. Aunt Gloria says

    An amazing and busy couple of weeks….but it all sounds like fun! Enjoy and hope you can catch a couple of quiet moments to refuel! I’ll catch up once I get to FL. Will miss you all but will keep in touch. Love……xxoo

  24. Chris Carter says

    Hi Janine – found you through the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop at Katherine’s Corner . . . . congratulations to you and your family on your daughter’s special recognition! Looks like you are having a great week and I hope it is not TOO cold and snowy where you life ;o) Love your blog, thanks for joining the blog hop at Katherine’s Corner. I linked up to you WW party and will plan to stop back next week. Nina @ mamas*little*treasures

  29. Kelly L McKenzie says

    You are so very blessed Janine. truly. Why? You got to be a part of the Star Week process. Me? Not so much. Grinning over the timing as my recent post is all about the answers my then 4 year old son gave about his family – and his dear mother in particular.

  31. Rea says

    That is such a great idea for Kindergarten! It helps boost the student’s personality and be acknowledged for who they are. Looks like a whirlwind week for you and just so glad to know is Emma is fine after having that fall.

  32. The Pinterested Parent says

    Awww. Emma is a little star. Her board was so sweet. I especially love the Elsa & Anna sisters on there. Incidentally, I keep forgetting to tell you that I like your new format. I know you changed your page a little bit ago, but I kept forgetting to mention it.

  33. Brittnei says

    I remember we had something called Student of the Week, but this sounds like a cute idea for the kids, too. It sort of reminds me of show and tell about themselves and their family which is nice. You definitely do sound like you have the busiest two weeks ever coming up. I hope you enjoy it and catch a moment to smell the roses. 🙂
