May was full of fun and end of the school year craziness.
Sophie had a field trip!
messing with Nana because she had just picked a ton of our dandelions.
This little guy is quite the runner. He did a running club this spring and they were required to run the 50m dash and 100m dash and he got first or second in his heat in both in all the meets. They also got to choose to run either the 400m or the 800m. Most opted for the shorter of the two but he ran the half mile in two of the meets. At one of them, there were only about 20 kids who wanted to run it so they combined K-5 graders and he got 3rd place! He's got a lot of heart and a competitive little spirit.
These guys were cleaning the windows and their truck broke so the fire department came to rescue them one day at school.
There was a tornado warning (we had to shelter in place at school for about an hour) one day and my neighborhood got the hail storm piece of that storm. I was blessed not to have the damage that my neighbors behind me had. yikes. lots of prayers
Kub with Lenhart and Billingsley
Pandemic game with some fun teacher friends
last day of school some of the teachers went out for a little relaxation and fun
My kids are definitely little mini-me's. on the left is their water cups left partially full everywhere. on the right are mine.
On Memorial Day a couple of my teacher friends secretly organized a party to help me with my yard. My friend, Saige, asked if I wanted to visit a nursery with her which I did so we went and I picked out some things I had wanted to try to plant. I replaced Ava and Elise's First Communion roses (Ava's is yellow and Elise's is orange) and found some fun other bits of color to add to the yard. Saige insisted on paying for it which was a very sweet surprise. Little did I know that was only part of the surprise.
We arrived back at my house and there was an army of teacher friends weeding my yard, pruning bushes, digging holes for new plants, and mowing the lawn. I had mentioned to Mr. Lenhart that I needed to get a branch cut at one point so we could set up the new trampoline I had bought the kids as a housewarming bit of fun for the new house. He cut the branch.
and later a group of them even stayed and helped me put together the trampoline. I had misplaced the directions but we got it together anyhow!
Doesn't the yard look lovely?
I was FLOORED by the generosity and kindness of my coworkers.
Ava's yellow rose bloomed brightly just days later
all set up and ready for the kiddos to come back from Chris' to try it out!
rainbows are signs of God's promise and I was so reminded of that this month
We took a little time as teachers after the end of the school year to party as well. Cornhole, burgers, and pool time!
The kids drew Simba on my board
Finally the kids are here to enjoy our hard work!
I have the best coworkers. The end of the school year was a blast because of our great students and our incredible staff. love you guys!
