What I have been up to!!

Well, I haven't spoken to many of you in a while because I have been sooooo busy, so I thought I would show you what the heck I have been doing!! Since I last Blogged, one of my girls at the store got married, about the same time that my 2 other girls got sick, at the exact same time that ALL of Midland realized that graduation was coming and that they needed everything.... "yesterday!" I was definitely overwhelmed and at the same time, trying to do everything else within our personal life realm!!

For several weeks, we have been planning for both K-5 classes to come to our house, Friday, for Continent Day! The kids have been studying about all 7 continents and so we culminated by having a celebration at our house with all of the parents acting as teachers, teaching about different countries!

So the bus pulled up.......

and dropped off the 30 kids and 4 teachers!!

We treated their excursion as a flight around the world aboard 'Trinity Air'! Mom & Dad helped me put it together the night before, and then Chad helped put it back together the morning of, since the winds got a hold of it!!! What a project!!

I made the kids passports with their photos in them, as well as boarding passes, and I checked them as they entered the plane! Notice my 'wings' on my top, as I was the flight attendant!!

So they got seated, with their luggage in hand, and waited for the flight to begin!

Notice the exit door on the left, and the windows in our make shift plane!

This is pre kids, and our monogrmmed carpet!

We had a project for each continent, after each lesson, and a food from that country!

Then, I hired some special performers to come show us a little from North America! The kids loved them!!

Braden dressed up for the North American part to show the kids a little ethnicity!!

After 3 hours and a whirlwind adventure (my brain was SPINNING!) the kids loaded up & went back to school!! We had 30 kids, 4 teachers, 20 parents, 4 grandparents, 4 siblings, 4 dance crew members, 1 Head of the Lower School , and 1 admissions director!! Aghhhhhh! I am so glad that it is OVER!! but we had a great time!

Earlier in the month, we had a Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese!

For a friend of Bee Dub's!

And NUMEROUS baseball games, where Braden is still at 100% for hitting the ball! Sometimes he gets out at 1st, but usually he scores!! He has a great team that he just loves!

So that has been our last month in a NUTshell!! We still have a crazy May ahead of us with more Baseball, Field Day, Celebration of the Arts, Graduation, Surgery for Bee Dub, a visit from Chad's uncle in Germany, and numerous other events!! Wish me luck that I survive!
