Happy Monday! Fun with friends!
Make it a great day!
spooky
Samantha found a spooky dance partner!
Boo!
Volleyball
Samantha played volleyball for the first time! They do a short season starting in 4th grade to introduce the girls to the sport. It was cute – and kinda painful to watch, especially at the beginning – but they did improve as the season went on. Getting your serve over the net is the most challenging part apparently!
We didn’t make it to many practices because it conflicted with tumble but I’m not sure that really mattered. At this age, it’s all about hand eye coordination and being somewhat athletic.
Samantha’s team got out in the first round of the tournament which she didn’t like. But, I hope she liked the sport enough to stick with it. I sure loved volleyball back in the day!
Go Samantha go!
Dinner and Dancing
The past few weeks Maxwell has been doing “Dinner and Dancing”. It’s an etiquette program for 8th grade boys and girls – they’ve learned how to make small talk, introduce people, table manners, and several dances! Sunday night was the presentation and everyone looked so sharp for it!
The boys each danced with 3 girls and then the couple had to go talk to the parents, introduce their partner and make small talk. Maxwell nailed it, obviously.
It was a fun night. Proud of my handsome 14 year old!
Celebrating
Birthday celebrating! We celebrated Robert’s birthday with dinner at La Fete. Spencer took our picture…
and then told me my arm looked silly like that and even showed me how to pose! ha! I need the tips!
Happy birthday Robert!
Sunday we made it to church and got a family picture which was my birthday wish! I already shared this but I’m sharing again because I can. 🙂
Yesterday I got to play tennis and have a good day with the kids because Robert had to travel. I’ll take it. We picked up Bricktops, I got cake from Alexa’s, and Maxwell even put a candle in the cake for me to blow out!
Lots to be thankful for, lots to wish for. Happy birthday to us!
