These are just of the few events that happened in May. We were pretty much were busy every night. I guess that's what happens when you have 5 kids!
Spectrum Olympics
Every year all the Spectrum kids from the school have an Olympics day. They are in teams and participate in an opening ceremony, participate in individual and team events, and they end it all with a closing medals ceremony. It's a highlight of their year!!
Opera
This year for the first time the 5th grade teacher was very ambitious and had the kids in the class create an opera. They created the scenery, wrote the script, and performed it. It was a lot of work but it turned out great in the end. The name of the opera was "Lost in Fuzzle Island". CR was a pirate.
Tumbling
For years S begged us to take tumbling. We told her she could take it if she dropped ballet but we could not afford time or money to do both. Well she never wanted to drop ballet but this last year we found this school where she could do tumbling just once a week so we gave in and let her do it. They had a performance at the end of the year to demonstrate some of their new skills.
Orchestra
C performed in her last concert of the year. Their orchestra is really good! And C auditioned for Chamber Orchestra for next year and she made it! Congratulations!
Space Derby
The Cub Scouts this year decided to try something different than the pinewood derby and so they did the space derby. It was a fun event. CR didn't really place this year but he had fun making the rocket with his dad.
Choir Concert
S was in choir this year and she really enjoyed it.
Cheer
The first pictures are of the banquet. The others are from a breakfast when the other cheerleaders came to wake her up and take them all to breakfast before school. I knew about it but S didn't.
Chimes Concert
Another Spectrum event.
Dance Company
C tried out and made it this year!! She is going to have so much fun. Why everyone has to make teams all in the same year I don't know? But nevertheless it will be busy but fun!
Summer Job
And last but not least, K is home for the summer and looked for a job for a few weeks with no success. This economy is just not the greatest for finding a good summer job. But she is extremely blessed to have found a job as a teacher for 2 year olds at a daycare. She works Monday thru Friday during day. Which means she can play at night and have the weekends off. It also allows her to work every other Satuday at the bookstore in order to keep her job when she goes back to school in the fall. What an amazing blessing and good experience for her. This is a picture of K and her best friend BJ. They love to go out and just take pictures of themselves.
