Painting With a Twist

There was a mother daughter paint night at the church.  Kate and I had such a good time learning to paint dragonflies together.  I'm so impressed with how well she did.  I love my little bestie!

Grand Prize Winner

Big day at the Regional Social Studies Fair! 

Not only did Jack place first in the Division 1 Anthropology division....

He also won the GRAND PRIZE for all of the elementary age projects!

He was so so shocked and excited to make it this far!





You couldn't wipe the smile off that face!

Throw Me Some, Mister

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

We partied hard at the Krewe of Krewes parade downtown. 

We got all kinds of treasures and partied hard to all the music.

We left with more beads than we can count and big smiles on our faces. 



While everyone else in the country goes to work, we party in Louisiana!

It was fun to meet up with friends for a fun evening!

Krewe de MBE

Louisiana Day 2020!  We kicked off Mardi Gras break with the most fun day of the year. 

Kate held the sign in the school parade for the Krewe de Kindergarten. 





Lucas was the king of his class and got to throw beads to all his fans. 

There were cool stations where they learned Cajun dancing, about the Coast Guard, and woodworking and duck calling. 

They also got to sample lots of tasty food, like jambalaya, boudin, and king cake.  And I learned that substitute teaching on Louisiana Day is not for the weak - it was exhausting!

So we are enjoying crawfish and reading for relaxation over the Mardi Gras break!

Change the World

Teachers change the world, one child at a time.  We are so grateful to our teachers for making it out to our church's annual Teacher Appreciation Night.  Kate loved having Mrs. Hunter there. 

Jack was supported by his math teacher, Mrs. Norris, and his Science/Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Felice. 

Luke's teacher was miserably sick, but he was adopted by other teachers. 

Including his beloved kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Dillon. 

Our teachers are awesome!

Globetrotting

Dallin surprised the boys with tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters for Valentine's Day. 

They even got a pregame pass where they got to go down on the court and meet the players. 

Luke had a basketball game he didn't want to miss, but Jack made sure to get some autographs for him. 

There were lots of cool tricks and moves. 

Our ballers had a fun night!

Scouting Finale

Jack finished up his Cub Scout career with a fun awards ceremony and party at the Morris' house. 

The boys completed the flag ceremony and received their awards, along with a cool pocket knife. 

Then they roasted hot dogs and played football in the mud. 

Can a day get any better???
