Kindergarten Social

Somehow I got roped into being the PTO Rep for Kindergarten this year...kidding--I willingly volunteered! It's been fun so far. We had a "social" at Chucke Cheese at the beginning of the school year...the kids had fun, anyway! I love watching Jack with his friends--they are ALL his friends, and he flits from one to the next like the perfect social butterfly, and they all seem to like him! He is adjusting to every-day school life pretty well.

3rd Grade Social

Callie's grade had a social at the beginning of the year...I love that the entire grade is comprised of only 35 kids! It's cute to watch her build relationships, and fun to get know the other parents, too. It's also amusing to me that Jack seems to know her classmates more than she does! He is truly a social animal.

Cute Kiddos

Just had to capture the moment...

Patriotic Chapel

The kiddos had a special chapel around Labor Day, focused on Patriotism...a cute little program. Callie's grade participated by singing a different rendition of "God Bless America". The new superintendant gave a great talk on keeping God in America--we are so blessed to have our kids at a place where God is kept in their everyday learning!

Fire Station Fun

Callie has a Social Studies project about her Community, and part of that involved interviewing different services in the community. We went to the local Fire Station, and the Firemen were kind enough to not only grant Callie an interview, but gave her a tour of the station, complete with a lift in the 100 foot ladder! It was really a neat experience for them.

Mae's First Day of Preschool 2011

Well, second year of Preschool! Here we go! Mae goes 2 days a week, for a few hours, and really seems to enjoy it. I have to admit, I do, too!! I end up missing her by the afternoon, but those few hours without ANY kids are precious!! Her teacher this year is Mrs. Karen, and she has some kiddos in her class from last year. Last year, she slept in a crib all year--refused the nap mat. This year--crib isn't an option! So, we'll see how the nap mat goes! The baby is growing up.

Patriotic Princess

Love this outfit on her! She generally cooperates fairly well for photos, but I have noticed the cheesy, fake smile stage coming on...

Summertime At Papa and Grammy's

We enjoyed a day of outdoor water fun at Papa and Grammy's house during the summer...the water slide/pool was somewhat in the shade so somehow we didn't all just evaporate in the heat! Alli and Leo were there, too, as well as the Morrow family with little Brynlee. Jack really was there, too, but he's a little harder to capture on film!
