Whew! School's Out For Summer!!

Our last day of school for this year was Monday, May 22nd. It's summer now! Time for William and I to keep busy and have lots of fun together. We are excited to be around on Bret's days off and plan on having some fun family days as well.

On field day, I was challenged by one of my students to compete in the Balloon Blaster! Each of us had a water balloon hanging over our heads and an air pump at our feet. Our job was to pump our competitor's balloon full of air to pop faster than they could pop our balloon! It was a lot of fun, but that water was COLD!! Good thing it was a hot day!

We celebrated the students' multiplication & division skills with an ice cream sundae party. We introduced them to a movie classic from when we were kids: Homeward Bound! They loved the movie and were excited to hear there's a sequel. 

This is my 3rd season being a Girls on the Run Coach. The organization celebrated its 10th year this spring! I have loved getting to know the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade girls who participate. Each season ends with a 5K around Kaufmann & Arrowhead stadiums.

this year's coaches: Ashley, Jesse, Jen, me, DeAnn, & Elise

William's daycare runs only during the school year, so he said goodbye to Miss Alisa this month as well. She has been so completely amazing for us this year. It's hard to believe we started him in the fall as an 8 month old baby and we end the school year with an almost 1.5 year old! She has been so understanding of our schedules and caring for William. She even gives him his haircuts! We couldn't have asked for a better daycare provider.

of course, who is the one kid not looking at the camera...
