Beach Day at School!

OK- only in Washington do the kids need to wear coats on Beach Day in June! I am going to melt this summer in NC! It was supposed to be nice today- HA! I was the only teacher wearing shorts- and most likely blinded everyone with my pasty white legs!! We had a picnic out in the grass. The kids brought beach towels, sandals, sunglasses, etc... We also moved the tables around in the classroom to make room to spread out our towels and work. And then of course there was the Beach Boy music to top it off. Jake got a Lunchable (treat for him) so was very excited! Not sure too many of the kids ate. They were too interested in playing in the grass. Ah, to be seven again! They are precious!

Play Day at School (AKA "Field Day")

Considering all of the rainy weather we've had this spring, it sure was nice on Monday, June 16th for Play Day. I was in charge of organizing and leading it this year for the whole school, so had been anxious about the weather for weeks. It was sunny and warm, but not too hot. Perfect! The kids went from station to station with their class- 9 stations in all. Jake said his favorite was the obstacle course- but then quickly changed it to the popsicle/ rest station! The funniest part of the day was when my class had JUST come back inside the building for lunch (after 2 hours of solid play time) and one of my little girls asked me "When's recess?" UGH! The day was fun w/o any glitches, so I was relieved... and tired by the end of the day. Watching the kids have so much fun made it all worth it!

More Baseball

Baseball, baseball, and more baseball! I love watching, but am excited for the end of the season. Tons of the games (for both boys) have been rained out and rescheduled this spring. Jonathan has a tournament nearby this weekend and is excited for it!

A Visit to the Park

Jayden loves playgrounds! Her favorite is the swings, but today she had to settle for a slide. I lifted her up to the top about 20 times.

Crazy Hair Day!

We had Crazy Hair Day at our school at the end of May. Jake sprayed his hair green, and I wore a blue wig.

Trampoline Fun

The kids love the trampoline... especially Jonathan. He goes out there almost daily to shoot hoops. Jayden runs around in circles and laughs hysterically.

Jayden and her Matching Baby

Jayden and her doll have matching dresses. It's so fun having a little girl!
