Hippie Day
The elementary school has been having spirit Fridays this month. Today is hippie day!
Growing Readers
After school yesterday, we took a trip to our local library. Both boys chose many books to bring home to look at and to read. When we got home, I opened the van up and started carrying things in. Neither boy moved… I looked in the back and this is what I saw:
I came on in, but they were comfortable in their chairs for 20 minutes or so before they came to a stopping point and came on inside.
Leprechauns!
Oh, my! It seems that even though we left a sign on our door for them to not come in, at least one leprechaun came into our house last night! We found a trail of glitter going from the window, over Grayson’s table and to the trap Evan built yesterday. No leprechauns were to be found, but there were overturned chairs as well as a four leaf clover left in the middle of the trail! Both boys were so excited this morning as they inspected the house for damage that might have been done overnight. Did this happen at your house, too?
Jump Rope for Heart
Last week, Evan’s school hosted a Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser to help the American Heart Association. Evan participated in this last year and has really looked forward to it this year! He was able to raise $150 and he jumped for all he was worth. I didn’t volunteer to help this year since I was on a field trip with Grayson on the same day, but I got to the gym in plenty of time to help some anyway and take lots of pictures in the process.
