School’s out!

May 21, 2021

Today is the last day of school!! They made it! We made it! I am still shocked and thrilled that they made it all year IN school – no quarantines missing days of school, no major outbreaks! Things were not “normal” – they barely got to interact with anyone out of their class, they wore masks all day every day, no lunch in the lunchroom, only 1 day a week on the playground, no parents in the school – but they were there! They were there with friends and their awesome teachers and for that we are so grateful! We’ll be celebrating tonight at the opening of the pool! Woohoo!

A favorite last project that came home in Spencer’s bag last week…

At least he’s honest! ha! And how precious are these little signatures in Samantha’s yearbook?!

But most mornings are super smiley!

Maxwell got a fresh fade a few weeks ago. She spiked it up at the end…he wasn’t exactly pleased with that part. Ha!

More Field Day

May 19, 2021

I volunteered at Field Day so got to be out there to see them all compete. Field Day competition is fierce!! They rotate around to different games and rack up points and then do a giant 4-way tug of war. So fun!!

Kindergarten was up first!

None of our classes won the big prize but they all had fun and that’s what matters! These kids have been so resilient through the challenges of the last year, it sure was fun to see them get to go all out for an over the top field day! A fantastic way to end a great year IN school!!

Field Day

May 18, 2021

One of the best parts of the end of school? Field Day!! These kids all missed out on field day last year so I think everyone decided to make it even bigger and better than ever this year! I hosted Spencer and Samantha’s class in our yard to get decked out and eat some doughnuts. I offered to host Maxwell’s class too but he declined. 🙂 His class got together in front of the school.

My crew was ready to go!!

Samantha’s class was Spartan and lime green. We decided to make them “Summers Spartan Superheroes” and I stenciled shirts for the class.

Don’t they look cute?! and VERY green?!

They might have been green – but Samantha and the girls had to have pink for their hair!

batter up!

May 17, 2021

Two weeks ago Robert took the kids for the annual night out at the Barons game!

This was Samantha’s first time to get to tag along…

Have you ever seen a cuter baseball fan?!

They picked Spencer up on the way from his own baseball practice and had a good time watching some real baseball…and eating lots and lots of snacks!

Thankfully no one got lost this time! (We’ll never stop repeating this story! ha!)

Older Barons trips: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. No 2020, thanks to Covid.
