We finished the year last Thursday!!! Both Reggie and Ainsley had an awesome year. Their reports cards were identical and we are very happy that they exactly where they should be :o). Reggie actually asked if he could participate in the summer reading program (our librarian did such a good job of getting the kids excited about it-too bad she's retiring. The kids (and me) will miss Mrs. Goods). If they read a certain number of pages, they are entered to win a custom bike. He's already read 200 pages so far, so it should be a piece of cake for him.
It was a busy last few days.... Reggie had a bowling field trip and then lunch at the park on Tuesday and that was great. I actually got to visit with a lot of mom's I hadn't seen in awhile :o).
Look at that form....he's a natural!
Wed. was park day for both the kids. Their classes were buddy classes for reading, so the 3rd graders pair up with 1st graders and help them read. It worked out great for me because I killed 2 birds with one stone!!! Ainsley seems to gravitate toward the older kids, so she played with Reggie and his buddies. She loves the older kids at gymnastics too, so
The weather has been just lovely...you never know here because it can be so hot, but it was good it has been low 80's since the last day of school was Olympic day and it is a bunch of outside activities. After school, we went and swam at the Williams' pool and it was perfect. I wish I had taken a picture because there were so many kids, it was nuts! The moms ended up in some pretty fun conversation and it was 7 o'clock before we knew it :o).
The summer has been great so far. We've learned that keeping Reggie busy makes everyone happy. We've started to hear, "I'm bored a lot :o(" Ainsley's gymnastics had a summer kick-off with a live monkey show and it was really fun! We also learned a lot about monkeys.
Reggie and Ainsley with Mickey the monkey:
The kids started Vacation Bible School this morning and then Reggie went to a friends house. Ainsley is self entertaining and can play for hours in her room. I decided to pull out the board games on Friday when Reggie and I had some one on one time and we've been playing ever since. I think this is going to be the summer of games, which I love!!!
