Annabelle's 3rd grade Mother's Tea

There was another swim meet last weekend.  Annabelle did great, but Caden skipped for a basketball tournament.

Caden's 5th grade Texas trip was cancelled due to Covid, so they made the best of the situation and did a few things in town.  They had a dinner one night and sang songs around a campfire.

Instead of doing the 3rd grade tea together as a grade, each class did their own presentation in the classroom.  A pic with Annabelle and Mommy.

Caden's 11th Birthday

Caden's birthday fell on Annabelle's Living History Day, so I was able to sneak to his classroom at lunch to eat with him.  I made a cookie cake for him to share with his classmates.  He's getting to be so grown up.  He is such a hard worked, and he does his best at whatever he is doing...school, basketball, swimming.  He's getting tall, and he's currently 5' 1/2" tall.

Caden wanted to invite a few boys to play basketball.  Brian facilitated.

Annabelle's 3rd Grade Living History Day: Medieval Times

 Just in time for Living History Day, the school decided to allow parents on campus to attend events.  I was so thankful to be able to go because I love living history day, and I have been feeling like I'm missing their entire school year.

Spring Fling 2021

 The kids always look forward to Spring Fling and especially this year, as there was no SF '20, due to Covid.  Of course the kids don't know when it is, and they were surprised when we drove in to school to the surprise.  I was so glad that I was able to be there as a volunteer.

A quick selfie with Annabelle.
