May always promises a busy month full of events, recitals, and happenings.
Here are a few from school:
The Renaissance Fair:
An annual tradition for 6th graders. Such a pain in the behind...but such a fun day for the kids. It involves an extensive amount of time and energy - for both the students and the parents. Sam's group made a booth called "The Swaggin' Dragon" and sold stuff like Flaming Cheetos (Dragon's tongue), Dragon Balls (Atomic Fire balls), Smokies (Dragon's toenails), and Dragon eyeballs (meatballs). This was a whole different experience from when Millie was in 6th grade. Girls are WAY more into this kind of thing and have more fun with it. But these boys did a pretty great job on their own.
And most importantly, they had fun at the festival sold all of their loot.

The Ridgeline Run
This year it was called "Run the Ridge" and the kids got to ran around the neighborhood instead of just behind the school. BS and I had fun volunteering at the stations and cheering on the kids. Sambo finished in the top 5 of the whole school. Way to go!
Here he is running with Addison. She might be his girlfriend ;)
Will and his buddies Kalob, Issac, Matthew after the run.
And Quin just ran her little guts out and did it with a smile. She is not the quickest but she didn't give up and kept going until the bell rang. Good job Q!
Dads and Donuts:
BS couldn't make it this time so I was the substitute Dad. But Will didn't seem to mind. I know I didn't! It was fun to see what it was all about.
The Dance Festival:
Such a fun yearly tradition. BS and I went early to save good seats and always have fun sitting by friends watching our kids out there dancing.
.4th grade went first and danced to "I get a good feeling"
This is a costume gone bad. The tinfoil is supposed to be covering his hat like a gangster or something. I guess I should have helped him with that.
But look how cute he is anyway! And he danced so well!
6th grade did a medley of popular songs in neon shirts. He's got good rhythm and looked good. I love that even the 6th graders aren't too cool to dance.
2nd Grade did a fun four-square number. She was absolutely darling and of course didn't miss a step!
6th Grade Celebration:
After the Dance Festival, it was time to party! At least for Sambo and the rest of 6th grade. We as parents helped put on a fun graduation party since this is their last year of elementary school. My job was to make cotton candy, grill hot dogs, and take some snapshots. Of course I volunteered BS to help me since he is the one with cotton candy making skills. And my friend Kari too. She's always so nice to help me.

Timberline Dance Recital:
For Millie's "Dance 2" class, they performed a couple of dances at the recital.
Of course she danced awesome and looked great.
