Gerard's class kept a Poetry Folder throughout the year and yesterday the class performed the poems for the parents. Not every child performed one, but Gerard did 2! The kids in each group came up with their own motions....
And today Morgan got some new flip flops in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa:
Just a quick post to share Gerard's baseball game from yesterday. I hope you all have had a nice weekend!
I am just about caught up, so I thought I'd share one more cute picture of Morgan and Savannah. They love coloring with chalk. Here they are on Shauna's front porch:
I'm heading to bed, but I thought I'd share a little video of Morgan. We were testing out our new video camera in low-light settings. Enjoy!
We interrupt our regularly scheduled catching up posts to wish Grandma Andrea and Grandpa Ian a very happy 41st wedding anniversary!
Even though school is in session for another week and a half, it certainly feels like summer already. It was unseasonably hot for the beginning of June, with temps almost hitting 90 for a week. The kids took full advantage of the heat, and played in the kiddie pools and sprinklers every day after school. As usual, Gerard counts the minutes until he can play with Maddie, and now Morgan anxiously awaits her time with Savannah. They are so cute together.
Grandma quilted herself a new purse:
When she sent me the pictures, I knew I had to have one of my own. She made me a pink and brown one and surprised Morgan with one of her own, too. Doesn't she look cute with it?
Here are some pictures from Gerard's baseball game on Friday. He finally got to play first base (a coveted position) and did pretty well.
Shauna brought the girls over to watch Gerard play after Maddie's tee ball game was over. Gerard loves having fans and Morgan loves having friends to play with!
Our neighborhood does an Easter egg hunt every year but the weather doesn't always seem to cooperate. It rained one year. One year there was too much SNOW on the ground to find the eggs. This year it was just perfect....sunny and slightly cool.
When I explained to Morgan that we were going across the street to look for candy-filled eggs and she could put them in her basket, she started calling it "Easter Halloween". That's my good Jewish daughter.
The kids had fun, although Morgan was not a big fan of the Easter Bunny.
Of course, we don't actually celebrate Easter, which Gerard was kind enough to remind his teacher:
