Today I went to the art museum with Megan's third grade class. She has been very excited for this field trip because this is the first field trip of the year, and yes we are in February. It doesn't help that Emily has already been on three. =)
Going to the art museum reminded me of being in Jr. High, of all things. I took an art class in 8th and 9th grade and loved to learn about all types of art and different artists. It all came flooding back to me again today. We saw everything from 500 year old paintings to Norman Rockwell and the beautiful gardens out by the St. Johns River. It makes me want to go back and take the kids and introduce them to the art. Hopefully they will grow a love for it like I have.

After the field trip Megan went home with me instead of going back to school on the bus. We ran some errands and then went to lunch together. It is kind of a fun tradition I do with the kids after field trips if we have enough time. I enjoy having some one on one time with my girls. It was a fun day. Next month we are off on a field trip to the Zoo. It should be fun! Watch for those pictures coming soon!

What a fun tradition. I am going to try and remember that one. Hopefully I will be back on field trips again soon. By the way, I liked your idea of writing what you had for dinner on the calendar. I will have to remember that one too.
