Sleepover

November 20, 2023

Samantha had her first bunkin’ party…excuse me, sleepover! We had originally said no sleepovers until age 10 but, sometimes you gotta give. She had two of her besties over last Friday night and they had the most fun!

Samantha requested dinner at the club.

Robert took the boys to the MBHS football game so it was just us girls. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner dates…

ha! They love to get up and run around but did come back when the food arrived! 🙂

After dinner they did face masks, nails and all things girly. They attempted to watch the Barbie movie but I think they ended up just playing T Swift and dancing in her room!

Lights out was 10:00…at 10:05 they needed a snack…at 10:30 two of them were in tears…and I think at 11:00 they finally fell asleep. They were back up by 6am and happy as could be!

Love these sweet girls and glad Samantha had fun!

She’s well on her way to straight teeth! She was pretty excited to get them but the excitement wore off pretty quickly…

It’ll all be worth it though!

First day!

August 10, 2023

Back to school! Yesterday was the first day of school and it all went great. Maxwell had to wear his football jersey but was pretty excited about it all…and maybe a little nervous about the logistics of the day and finding his way around the Junior High.

Spencer was pumped to be in a class with all of his best friends in 5th grade…

Post graduation

June 5, 2023

After graduation Maxwell and I with a group of his friends went to Paramount for lunch. Burgers, fries and video games! Best celebration of 6th grade ever!

That afternoon the class had a pool party and they all had fun despite the chilly temps!

Proud of all of these graduates and thankful for such a great experience at MBE!

Congratulations MBE Class of 2023!

Graduation

June 2, 2023

Maxwell is officially an elementary school graduate! I’m so proud of Maxwell. He excelled at MBE and made the most of his 7 years there. Straight As, exemplary behavior, involved in all kinds of activities – he’s an all around great kid! Graduation was a special day and he looked extra sharp in his new suit!

First day of Kindergarten…

to last day of 6th grade!

Graduation was in the auditorium which worked out well because it was a rainy morning. We ended up being able to snag seats for Spencer and Samantha too so they got to come watch.

All the graduates looked very nice up on stage in their best attire!

They gave out a few awards during graduation…but no academic awards. I have thoughts on that which I’m sharing with the principal! In my book, Maxwell got the STEM Robotics award and the All A Honor Roll! I’m also going to give him the “kind, cool kid” award! 🙂

After getting their diploma, the graduates stood alongside the wall and Maxwell ended up standing right beside me and Robert. We loved this! Maxwell did not. ha!
