In respect of full disclosure, I wanted to start off by mentioning that this post was sponsored by Sears. However, all the opinions and words are mine. Could it really be time to start thinking about back to school? Could the summer really be nearly over? (we’re not excited or anything….) Despite our love for…
Goin’ Buggy
When you have four kids who have all attended the same elementary school, you tend to run into a few repeats. The same field trips, sometimes the same teachers, the same projects…and often the same presentations. Last week, I got to watch my 3rd performance of Goin’ Buggy. This time, Twizzler was the star. The…
Ahhh….the middle school holiday concert
Can you believe I was crazy enough to drag all 4 younger kids to Kit Kat’s middle school chorus concert tonight? Not only did I make them sit through the concert, but we got there 45 minutes early because I was NOT going to drive all the way home and back again after dropping KitKat…
Halloween, Part 2
I spent 3 hours at the elementary school yesterday helping out with Halloween parties and the Big Parade. AJ decided to be a giraffe for the school festivities and Reese changed back into the witch. AJ the Giraffe was popular with the elementary school kids. He LOVED being able to eat the best snacks from…
The annual Pumpkin Patch field trip!
Today was the kindergarten’s annual field trip to the Pumpkin Patch! I was looking forward to going with Reese, and Reese…..well, she was just giddy with excitement. No day at our house would be complete without a little bit of excitement….so of course, someone HAD to get sick. On Tuesday night at 8:00, all of…
Volunteer
AJ and I have a new special date on Friday afternoons. Reese’s teacher said she could use our help filling students’ folders while the kids are at lunch and recess. So we’ve been hanging out in Reese’s classroom. AJ loves having the room (and the chalk and the books and the blocks….) all to himself!…
Back to School
School is back in session! When I walked the kids to school this morning, I felt like I had just done the same thing last week. Was the summer really so short? Wow! It flew by. BTW–be sure to see all of my following posts (I did a bunch at once today–trying to catch up!)…
End of the year @ school
So much happens during the last couple of weeks of school! We have been super busy doing lots of fun things. On Friday, each of my kids at the Elementary School had class activities going on in the afternoon, and by some miracle, I was able to make ALL of them. Reese had a little…
Band, a dance, and Brownies
These videos may not be as cute as some of the baby videos I’ve seen lately….but I had to share some live shots of the kids. The first video is one I caught of Apple dancing to some silly music in the morning. And as an added bonus, you can hear Taco whining! The 2nd…
Necco’s got talent!
Necco performed at the Elementary school’s annual talent show tonight. She did fabulous singing Just Wave Hello by Charlotte Church. We were all shocked when she said she’d like to sing at the talent show this year–all by herself! What courage! She was a little timid when she got up onto the stage tonight, but…
