Thursday Field Day May 12th

 These were from the morning, before Thomas's last day of CDO. He didn't want to hi the coffee shop so we came home in that 30 minutes time slot between big kid drop off and his drop off. Noticed these beautiful roses on the side of our house. I haven't cared for these bushes one bit since we've lived here, well besides laying new mulch a couple weeks ago. But they were so pretty!

After I dropped Thomas off I had volunteered for the morning shift at field day at the kids' school. Isaac's class was out during that time (as was our neighbor in Kindergarten below). The girl's session was in the afternoon but since I picked Thomas up at 1:30 I didn't volunteer for the entire day.

I ran the jump rope station, got LOTS of pictures of kiddos that I shared on our parent's FB group, but here's what I captured of Isaac and his partner Zuri. 

I was excited to see a make-shift gaga ball pit, this is one of Isaac's favorite games to play!

After I got Thomas we did go back with my drone to get some fun shots, I was able to say hi to Mary, but I think Emma was inside at the inflatable obstacle course when we dropped in. It was at this point I made sure Mary had put on the sunscreen I gave her earlier in the day. She assured me she had put it on her shoulders... however she missed her back and ended up with a nasty sunburn :-( 

Emma's teacher is so good about sharing photos of her class! Here's Emma's class in their jersey's for Jersey day on field day. The 2nd grade class has been having a reverse alphabet countdown to the last day of school with each letter of the day giving a theme. 

And some more of Emma from field day that I got from our FB group

And here's my drone footage, fun to take these and make a video, still working on my skills. 

And the video I put together:

Girls' 8th Birthday!

 The girls turned 8 on Tuesday. I had to get one last picture of them as 7 year olds :-) 

Got the house decorated the night before. 

Everyone was up WAY early on Tuesday. So what else to do than take a trip to Krispy Kreme for hot donuts :-) 

Then they got to open one present before school. Thomas helped me wrap and wrote the name labels. 

Girls went to school, then celebration picked up where we left off once they got home about 4:30. 

 

Opened a couple more presents. 

Then headed to dinner. Emma picked Old Spaghetti Factory. They opened their last present which was their own 'phone', iPod really. :-) 

We noticed this later that Thomas is flexing, LOL! 

They sung happy birthday to the girls :-) 

I brought my drone to try and fly it over the water at Old Spaghetti factory, but we were in a no fly zone. So instead we drove over to Wichita State area and got some fly time in. (There's the YMCA I taught/teach at)

And a family photo :-)

Cut it short due to the high wind warning. 

Quick video from sign to the YMCA.
