April School Stuff

Quinny, ready to start the day at school

-Ever since Spring break, the stuff going on at school has been bonkers!  It's all good stuff, but bonkers!
Here are just a few things from the past few weeks:

Millie joined the track team at school and had her first track meet.  She joined mostly so she could get conditioned for soccer.  It only cost $15.00 and it involved staying after school and running with friends.  Win-win. 


At her first track meet, somehow she didn't get the memo about running the inside of the track...not in the most outside lane! 

 At the start (she is on the left):                                                         After one lap:



She did great, but let's just say that running too long in the outside lane wore her out quick!
Go Millie!  Bonus* She got some cute cheap track team sweats :)


Then there is the Kindy 500.  This is where the kids (parents) make cars out of a box and the kids "drive" around the country to different stations learning about America's famous monuments.  They also perform some patriotic songs and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.  


Quincy designed her car.  She wanted a butterfly car that was blue with yellow and purple polka dots and pink wings.  And the #36 for her race car number.  36 because that is how old Mom is.





 Oops, she got in a car crash during the car parade and lost a wing.  So we broke off the other wing and then she was good to go again.  Good thing I'm a mechanic.


And then it was "Dads and Donuts."  But on this day it had to be "Mom and Donuts" because BS had something important at work.  But BS has never missed a Dads and Donuts day in 8 years so we let him off the hook.  This was my first time and I really enjoyed hanging out with my Sambo and eating yummy donuts.  I love this little stud so much! 


I was Breckon's "Substitute Dad" as well

And then there is the RIDGELINE RUN.
This is always fun for the kids.  BS got to go this year and cheer them on.

 Then, Will's class performed an OPERA written entirely by them...3rd graders!
The words and the music. And it was fantastic!
Will was "Wreck it Ralph" and his friend Jack was "Fix it Felix." 
He actually sang and acted out his part - not too cool yet :)
