I'm hereby designating February as 'February Madness' because the schools are scheduling so many activities, it's reminiscent of December (all things winter) and May (all things end of year). We're only 2 weeks in and it's craziness!
Jillian's school participated in a school wide book club, reading "School Days According to Humphrey" in January. Everyone read a chapter a night and then classrooms compete in trivia every morning. After completing the book, kids auditioned for a 'Humphrey' play for went to school early for 2 weeks for rehearsals. The play was last week and our very own Jillian did a great job as one of the students in Humphrey's class, "Rosie." Congratulations Jillian!
While I was with Julia at the region swim meet last weekend, JD was with Jillian at the North Pointe school fair, the biggest fundraiser of the year. She had so much fun, with her favorite booth being 'Pick the Nose.' Kids have to put their hand up a giant nose and pull out snots (spaghetti) and she thought it was hilarious! Luke and Riley were there working a booth to earn volunteer hours.
Last night was "Fit Night" at the elementary school which included all sorts of fun activities like gaga ball, bowling and a mini-ninja course. There were all booths set up from vendors, including Kendall, who is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award. We also saw performances by a cheer squad and martial arts group (which included Luke's best friend, Shawn). What a week! And tomorrow we have a Valentine's party at school. Never a dull moment!
Luke has also been busy. He is back at swim practice 2-3 days a week, goes into school early one day a week for extra band practice (required) and we celebrated my birthday at a "trumpet solo concert" in the library at his school. Busy busy busy!
