You’ve got to love, that when Scout made hi teacher appreciation cards this year, he also made one for Grace!
Or actually I did…he just delivered it!
Teacher Appreciation
Piano Recital ‘18
Navy and Scout did a fantastic job at their piano recital this year. I can’ t believe how far they have come in this past year…and the best part is when Seth hears them play, he says, “your kids are so much better than mine, it is crazy!”
Navy played perfectly with dynamics and crispness — two things she has recently been working on.
And Scout played Greensleeves, as did another girl at the recital. Mr. Holt was really worried about the same song being played, and spaced them out so Scout wouldn’t show up the girl who also played it. It was good there was some space, because Scout schooled the girl!
(No…not competitive…just honest and a bit stage mommy!)
Bama
Who knew that Navy wouldn’t be a great pet owner. I would have bet a lot of money, that she would have been a perfect pet owner. But since this is about the second time she has brought Bama out of his cage since she got him…I think it is settled…WE WILL NEVER OWN A REAL PET!
Sinister
When I walked by Navy writing on a bunch of Post Its, I took a closer look.
They were all notes from “Scout”, saying that he was running away.
I looked at her, and she got the biggest smile on her face…then started posting them all over Nonnie’s room.
She probably posted about 60 notes, and when Nonnie walked in her room after being gone, she was so confused. When she read the notes, she actually bought into them, and got really concerned. When Navy and I were laughing, she demanded to see Scout in the flesh before she believed us! And that is when Scout saw what was going on, and he looked at Navy and in a very disgusted voice said, “Navy…what is your problem?”
HAHAHA!
Scout’s Rock Climbing Party
Scout really wanted a rock climbing party this year for his birthday, so today was finally the day.
Scout, Seth, Cade, Noah, Jaden, Charlie, and Zach all climbed for about three hours straight.
The best was when I would give them all the same challenge…and they wouldn’t stop until someone accomplished it.
(Although there were a few that were too tough for all of them!)
And by the end….Charlie showed it best.
They were BEAT!
But nothing a little soda stop on the way home couldn’t cure…because then they went home and swam for two hours!
I love an all boy party…that is filled with action.
And that is just what Scout got!
Navy’s Irish Art
I came home to a driveway of Irish art.
Navy’s art is so stinking cute…and when she starts, she hyper focuses until she is done.
I’m not sure what brought out the Irish in her today, but I did see Pippi doing the Irish Jig nearby.
Tennis Buddies
Today, some of our tennis buddies joined us for our pizza/breadstick tradition.
Then it was games of tag and running races for the Denison/Baker/Foulger clan!
My Mother’s Day Brunch
Pippi created the nicest morning for me.
I was welcomed with a bouquet of flowers.
She co-hosted a brunch, where I was served delicious food.
And then there was the portrait guessing game.
i knew I had to have been one of the two pictures on the left.
But no!!!
I was red beard!
With firecrackers coming out of my head???
The morning ended with a nice performance of songs dedicated to all of the mothers…and as a special treat, Pippi sang the very loudest for me!
More Komine Texts
More correspondences with Scout’s teacher, brought more good news today.
Now we just need to see how the other Mandarin class does on their testing next week.
But so far…Scout is the overall number one student in Mandarin in his class!
Not bad!!!
Dentist Movie Tix
It is dental visit time for our kids again.
At Dr. Hada’s office, we learned that if you go to the dentist on your birthday, you get a pair of movie tickets. Scout, whose birthday was yesterday, got an idea. He went in for his cleaning, and afterwards while Dr. Hada was checking him out…Scout explained to Dr. Hada that his time of birth was around 4:30 pm on April 30th. Since it was only about 2:00pm on May 1st, Scout explained to him , that technically it was still his birthday.
Dr. Hada liked the tenacity, and awarded Scout with two movie tickets!
That is a page…right out of Grandpa Murchie’s playbook!
Nice maneuver Scout.
