The end of the school year brought all sorts of parties. Blake went to a 5th grade glow dance. He left for scout camp shortly after school ended and spent an entire week camping in the woods. The sunsets looked like the best part. Meanwhile, Nash went to his own…
Blake wrapped up his elementary career. It went by so fast. The 5th graders had a special carnival day to celebrate their completion of elementary school. There was also a 5th grade promotion ceremony. It started at 8:30am and Blake lectured me before school on how I needed to get…
Crew went ahead and graduated from Kindergarten. There wasn’t a school-sponsored graduation, so some of the moms put together an after school graduation ceremony. This was the only year that Blake and Crew will be at the same school together. Kindergarten started later in the morning than the rest of…
Blake and Nash had a piano recital. Blake did his 5th grade “wax museum” report on John Adams. Finn wrapped up preschool by watching a caterpillar transform into a butterfly. I got to join him for a special Mother’s Day breakfast. And then go straight to watch Crew’s kindergarten performance….

February began with the 100th day of school, where Crew dressed like he was 100 years old. He made a collection of 100 pom pom balls. Blake participated in an interactive Walk Through the American Revolution. We did a few Disney days. Love that uncle photobomb. Crew and Finn found…
We kicked off January with sickness, no surprise. Nash felt better just in time to go to a Medieval Times tournament with friends. We put in several Disney days. Splash Mountain turned out to not be the best idea in January. Disney is always more fun when friends join us….
We kicked off December with Blake’s birthday and our sweet old neighbor girls brought him a gift. He had a backyard movie night birthday party with a bunch of friends. I helped in the kindergarten STEM lab a few times a month. There were lots of high-tech activities to…
Crew got to dress up like a reindeer for his kindergarten holiday production. Looking through these photos makes me laugh every time. The too-small shirt and the sock tail dragging down his pants. It’s all too good. Crew’s performance was quite entertaining as well. He made sure to pull some…
