Last Day of 3rd and 6th Grade
Friday, June 13, 2014 -Wow - I can't believe it! We have completed a full year at new schools and this is the last day! The time sure has flown by this year. We have so much to be thankful for. Both kids had wonderful teachers, they made new friends at the new schools, learn new things, got involved, and really excelled at what they set out to do! We look forward to a slower pace this summer, having play dates, traveling and making more fun memories.

6th Grade Party at the Park
Thursday, June 12, 2014 - Brittany had her party at the park today. They arrived about 9:30 on the buses. They could play on the big playground, play volleyball, visit the Military Memorial or just run around and have fun. I arrived about 9:45 and set up the Minute-To-Win-It Games. I really did not know what kind of response I would get from the kids. They loved it! It was a big hit. I did the games for the kids then took a break when they ate lunch. They had Chick-fil-A sandwiches, chips and cookies. Chad arrived after lunch and was able to spend a little time with us. That was nice. I played a few more rounds for the kids of games & then packed it up. The kids enjoyed their ice pop for a prize when they completed the games. We left at 2pm. It was a hot day, but the shelter and breeze made it bearable.
We met Nathan at the bus stop and treated all the kids to an icee pop on this hot day!

EOG Celebration
Wednesday, June 11, 2014- We found out Nathan's EOG (End of Grade) Test scores last week, but did not find out Brittany's until day. They both passed the North Carolina EOG Test's with flying colors. We took them to eat to Applebee's (one of their favorite restaurants) and celebrated over dinner. The waiter asked what brought us in there & we told him about the great grades. For dessert he gave Brittany and Nathan a free sundae for their wonderful grades. That was so nice! We had a great evening and are so proud of the kids!
Acolyte
Sunday, June 8, 2014 -Nathan acolyted today for the first time. Children can be an acolyte when they enter 3rd grade. Nathan just did not have an interest it in and we did not push him until now. We had him try it out with Brittany today. He did a great job! So happy to see him serving the church in this way.

Did someone say Baseball?
Additional info. for yesterday, Saturday March 22......After the 12 o'clock soccer game about 2pm Chad took Nathan for baseball evaluations. Nathan has decided to try baseball for the first time. We have made friends with one of the coaches and hopefully Nathan will be able to play on his team.

Spotlight
Thursday, March 20, 2014 - Chad and I had the pleasure of attending a breakfast this morning to honor 6th-8th graders who were chosen by their teachers for exhibiting the character trait of the month. Brittany was chosen by her team of teachers for the month of February - Courage.
From school website Courage: Having the determination to do the right thing even when others don’t; having the strength to follow your conscience rather than the crowd; attempting difficult things that are worthwhile.
Brittany's certificate in February was misdirected & did not make it into the hands of the principal. So the three of us were able to attend twice & they recognized her with the March recipients. Each month the principal invites someone from the community to come and speak on the character trait. This month it was an elementary school principal. Last month it was a high school senior.
We are very proud of Brittany for being chosen out of 900+ students. Way to Go Brittany, keep up the great work!

Ice, Ice, Ice
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - No school today. Ice on everything. Pictures were taken around 12:30pm. Things did not start to melt until later in the day.

St. Patrick's Day
Monday, March 17, 2014 - The kids went into school today on a 2 hour delay because of some icy roads. Well, guess what? The rain was turning to freezing rain and the schools decided to let the kids out 2 hours early. Well...I was out running errands in another town, come out of the store, hear on the radio about schools in the area getting out early & find out my kid's schools are leaving early. I am looking at the clock and doing the math and that means that my child already got out of school and was already dropped off at home and I am not there! I am 20 minutes from home, Ugh!!! What is going on? The cell phone for the neighbor I had, she was not answering. Thankfully we live in a great neighborhood and another neighbor was taking care of Nathan and another neighbor that got off with no parent. And her child didn't make it on the bus. After I got Nathan she had to go to the school to get her kid.....it was a crazy day let me tell you! The buses arrived when they could, loaded kids and just took off. Some other neighbor kids did not make it on the bus either because the bus already took off. And how many kids went home to locks doors?
Happy St. Patrick's Day to Everyone!
Brittany's bus was way late picking up the Middle and High because the bus driver had to take some of the elementary school kids back to the school (I guess their parent was not at the stop).
We did get a lot of freezing rain accumulated. The kids made shamrocks and enjoyed a very short day at school!

Dad's Birthday Party
Saturday, March 15, 2014 - Mom, Dad, and Grandma came over around noon. We surprised Dad with a birthday party for him (a day early). He is turning the big 65! Chad grilled us some turkey tenderloin and we enjoyed lunch. Then we celebrated with a chocolate covered NY Cheesecake. Yummy! Dad opened presents and received some neat gifts. Dad's brother, George, is also having a birthday tomorrow and he is turning 80. Time sure does fly.
Nathan's first soccer game of the season was today. They tried really hard, but the other team was just better at scoring. They had 4 subs and we had 1. I think we got tried out. Nathan scored the only point for our team! Wahoo! Go Nathan!
