Congratulations, Larks! You graduated from OCP! Derek serenaded us, Ms. Betty said some departing words to your families, and Ms. Shannon handed out your special letters. With great joy, we watched you toss them to the sky. We wish you all the very best at elementary school next year.

The kids had a blast at Transportation Day this week.

What’s not to like about enjoying the gorgeous spring weather while playing in the water and slurping up popsicles?
After spending a couple of days creating an array of transportation signs the kids all brought their vehicles to school to ride and wash (and wash and wash and wash).

Mosquitoes!

Spring has sprung. Sadly it has brought that southern scourge, the mosquito, along with it.

At our house we are locked in a constant battle with them.
I’ve scoured the internet for some good options to try to protect us from them.
Fingers crossed that at least one of them works.
repel them:
HERBAL INSECT REPELLANT

1 1/2 teaspoons assorted essential oils (citronella, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lavender, cedar, rosemary, catnip and/or rose geranium)
4 ounces distilled witch hazel

Mix ingredients in a 4-ounce spray bottle. Shake well. Spray onto exposed skin, avoiding eyes and mucous membranes. Reapply every 30-60 minutes, or as needed.

trap them:
