Tae's class watched their Caterpillars turn into Butterflies for their science class. Tae loved looking to see how her caterpillar was doing as they were in containers at their desks. When all the students caterpillars turned into butterflies they went to a nearby park and released them. Tae's butterfly flew out as soon as they open the container and went to a near by bush and rested for awhile.
Tae had her Ballet rehearsal last night.
Kenna and Tae's schools turned 100 years old last week. The cops shut down the street right in front of the school for the Franklin parade. Each class took a decade and came up with creative ideas to show case their decade. McKenna's class had the 20's and Tae's the 70's. Many alumni came to help celebrate. There was a reception, some keynote speakers, an Art Walk, tours of the school and some cake for all. It was a very fun day. Some of my friends have wondered what the APPLE program is that my girls go to at Franklin. APPLE is a part of the regular school system but is a program where the parents give 90 hours a year to help out the teachers or the school in general. This helps the teachers so they don't have to spend so much of their time copying and grading papers but can concentrate on each individual child's learning. Also the parents can help a child who might need a little more help with reading or math, etc. We love this program!!!Our kids love it as well. We also have an auction every year that APPLE puts on to help send the kids on extra field trips, have celebration and awesome learning experiences. The auction grossed $34,000. This helps the kids have wonderful experiences at Franklin. Happy 100 years!!!!
Brangelina, Bennifer, TomKat, Barachelle. These are some celebrity couple nicknames. I can't think of any more off the top of my head. I was looking at one of my friends blogs and she put her husband and her names together and came up with a cool name. I was thinking I wonder what nickname Scott and I(Cari)could use. It took me about one second to come up with ours. We are SCari(Scary). I think that sums us up pretty well. What would you and your spouses "Celebrity" name be???????Don't be shy now!!!
McKenna is our soccer girl. She didn't start out playing very well until she got kicked hard in the face with a ball from her own teammate, then she scored two goals and one was from the half way point. McKenna kicked the ball in one of these pictures but it look like she kicked her own player. It was a beautiful day. Next weekend is the Wendel tournament and that will be it for the season. Good Luck Blue Angels!!!
My mom came to visit us for a week. She was a great help. Cooking, baking, cleaning, making lunches, helping the girls with homework and getting ready for school.Going with me to Doctor appointments, Soccer and Ballet practices. She kept busy. I think her favorite part was holding Colby.Thanks mom for coming and helping us out. Too bad I couldn't find your keys and hide them so we could keep you here longer. I know dad and Brandon sure missed you.
The girl's school holds a May Day celebration every year. Tae is doing a dance with her 1st grade class. Then the fourth graders are weaving the May Day Pole.
Our cute little boy is growing so fast.
