More Field Day

May 14, 2026

Samantha had a super fun day rotating all around the school to different activities. I went down to watch for the kickball game and – my favorite – tug of war!! These kids are competitive and it’s the BEST!

Showcase

May 12, 2026

Samantha had her dance recital last week on Thursday night and I’m trying not to be sad that that is very likely her last recital ever! Dance is coming to an end and I sure am going to miss getting to see her smile on stage every year! She went out with a bang though…a neon green bang!

I was very proud of my bun again…her thick hair is a lot to manage but I think it was our best one yet!

Samantha also wanted some dramatic eye makeup and I think I did pretty good on that too!

My pretty, pretty girl!

Her class was not performing until the 3rd to last act of the second half of the show so we decided we had plenty of time to go to dinner before hand! What fun!

We arrived to the theater fashionably late yet right on time!

The girls nailed their performance! I sure do love watching my little star shine on that stage!!

Weird Science

May 8, 2026

The 5th grade had a science fair this year! Samantha chose a lava lamp project and we conducted the experiment at home varying the levels of oil and water mixed with Alka Seltzer tablets…

We then got to go up to school to the Science Fair! Samantha did an excellent job on her board and explained her experiment very well!
