Field Day

 This special day requires a post all of it's own, as this day holds a special place in my heart.  As part of PTF, this became my event to coordinate last year - and as far as I am concerned it will ALWAYS be mine!  I love this day and all the joy it brings.  We had an awesome team that put this great day together.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Yep, that's Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers.  I was taking this picture of David when he just came over and ruined the shot....can you imagine how happy my child would have been had it not been ruined by an All-Pro Wide Receiver from our NFL team sliding over and hogging the shot.  You can just see the disappointment in my little man's face.....oh well, there is always next year.  (Yes, it's sarcasm, in case you couldn't recognize it).

School's Out for SUMMER!

I love that song - and the happiness it conveys.   We are so stinkin' happy around here we can hardly stand ourselves.  Jason got out May 25th following Kindergarten Graduation, and David followed that Friday.  It has been GLORIOUS not getting up in the morning, packing lunches, fighting over homework, getting up in the morning, remembering band instruments, getting up in the morning....did I say that already?  Before school got out we did a lot of things.  David and his 5th grade class took a field trip to Friendship Trays - it's a local charity that prepares meals for those in need and delivers them - all 650 of them - a day.  It was great to watch and help prepare these trays and learn about this great organization.  Don't we look cute in our hairnets?!

Then Boosterthon came around.  This is our annual fundraiser for our school.  The kids get commitments from friends and family and then run laps.



There is the back of Jason's head - he was running at lightening speed and that's the best I could get.

David and his friends had a great time too - this was them before they got all hot and sweaty!
