Monkeying around

Took the Moms' group crew out for one more blast before the big kids invade for the summer.  Had tons of fun!

 

So thankful for the friendship & support of these ladies!

Wrapping up the year

 For our last moms' group of the school year, we had a little adventure to the children's museum!  What a fun group!  Of course, I forgot to take any pictures of the moms.  :P  So glad to spend time with you, ladies, & your sweet kiddos.  Have a fabulous summer!

All Hallows Eve

 We had a great turnout for our Moms' group Halloween party!  Lots of cuties in costume went trick or treating to about half the classrooms in the school the week before.  I think the big kids liked it almost as much as the littles!  Some even brought candy to give out besides the teachers doing it.  Fun.

 Monica brought a cute craft/activity/snack... spiders!

 We got all dressed up again for Superbowl of the Saints on that Sunday.  Rebecca was the Immaculate Heart & Teresa was Mary the Mother of God.  Andrew was St. Do I Have To Dress Up For This?

 Games, crafts, stories, songs, & lots of fun with the sisters

 The plays this year by the older kids were all about different Marian apparitions.  Two were new to me:  Our Lady of Good Help & Our Lady of La Vang.  Very cool! 

Benediction & lots of fun were made even better with a visit with our Sisters.  Love these ladies!

Enamored with enamel

Had a fun Girls Night Out at a local art store with these ladies.  I've gone there before to do actual canvas paintings & loved it, so I wanted to give their wine glass painting classes a try.  It was definitely a different experience working with enamel & it took me a LOT longer to figure it out, but it turned out being really fun. 

 This hummingbird one was my favorite of the two.  It took me so long that I just went with simple polka dots on the second one.  Still super fun!  I hope we can do it again sometime. 

Thanks for a great time, ladies!

While the kids are away, the moms will play

 For the last few years our principal has caught the first day of school stragglers in the hallway after dropoff & invited them in for donuts in the library.  Great way to calm some of those leaving-your-child-for-the-first-time jitters.  But it was always rather small & random.  So, our moms' group took up the task this year of advertising it as a Back to School Kickoff & provided donuts, bagels, & juice for any parents (& littles) that were interested.  We had a huge turnout!  I bet there were a good 60 or so people there.  Both Kleenex & party hats were also provided.  :)  Lots of fun!

 A few of the members of the class of 2030 that were there!

 After partying it up with the moms for a while & running home to accomplish a little for the day, it was already time to be back for Mass with all the school kids.  Before I knew it, they were running out the door!

 Home for a kid-picked lunch menu:

donuts, clementines, cucumbers, & orange juice

Happy 1st Day!

Nice parking
