Find Joy in the Ordinary

June--the end of school and the beginning of summer. The last two weeks of school was all about fun events:)

Cole's class had a glow in the dark day

Cole and Mom riding the ferry to see Aunt Danielle

Waiting to see Danielle in her tap show

She is such a great dancer. So fun to watch

The Kindness Club sang a song "Kindness is a muscle" Here is Cole in the front of the line-he was dancing when he sang. The staff had a really nice dinner to thank the PTSA Board and as part of it the kids sang for us.

Alexis at a baseball game--her reward for being a self-manager

Allen was able to join us for the annual beach day at school

So thankful for friends that will pull me out of the mud:)

Cole's grade made this path and filled it with water--they were so happy when it worked

She left it all on the beach

He can be so cute--he woke up and was missing a sock

Telling us why we should let them all sleep over--we agreed!!

This is what happens when your mom is volunteering after school to set up for the family picnic.

We had a family picnic and art show. Part of it had glow in the dark artwork

After the family picnic prep---my friend Sheila and her kids came over. We had to finish baking 90 Shrinky dink handprints for three classes--it was their Father's Day gifts (Handprint Keychains). The girls helped wrap.

Alexis had a friend visit from Egypt. Their family is there for two years.

Kennedie, Jada, Olivia, Alexis and Addie

Dad did amazing!!!

The third grade classes had lemonade at the family picnic. It was a donation not a sale. They collected $855 and it was tripled by the Gates Foundation so $3540 was donated to the search and rescue dogs.
