Yea, that went about as well as expected. ha!

We had a good, if chaotic, time up at school. We got to see plenty of their artwork and chat with some of the other parents. Spencer’s artwork will come home later but we got to bring home his clay handprint…

Precious. I sure do love those sweet little fat fingers!  🙂

I loved getting to walk around Maxwell’s room. There’s so much good learning going on in there! We did get to bring home Maxwell’s artwork and these 2 were my favorites…

Maxwell did great. He hustled and got after the ball. He’s definitely not afraid to get up in there and go for it!

He scored 3 goals…
